Really cool Oscar...awesome case and I think the milled bronze dial is very adventurous and unique.  I like it alot! thumbsup.gif

Like Will, I'm thinking that the dial won't patina much at all from whatever state that it goes into the watch case.  I've noticed this on all of the bronze pieces I've owned as the inner case where the crystal/dial sits remains shiny and fresh while the outer case patinas nicely with the passage of time (due to natural or un-natural exposures).

My take would be to pre-patina the dial prior to final assembly of the watch (or leave it shiny if that's the look you prefer).
