I think this one is just about the final version of dial 1, what do you think Ralf? and others? **The minute marks are not accurate, just a representation, the dial maker will need to make sure they are on the mark. is it possible to get a second hand painted like this?

I noticed that the numbers on the bezel have gone from facing in to facing out. Does it matter from a diving standpoint? As I look at my other divers, the numbers on the bezel all face in - these are the only ones I have used for scuba diving in the past. Curious to hear everyone's thoughts. Patrick

I like the idea of a Cuda type lume chapter ring but I'm unsure how to pull this off with the teeth theme. Please don't laugh at my horrible attempt of a dial:?.

Hi Patrick, I personally prefer the usual layout with face in.

Ralf, this is looking very refined, functional, unique and yet has "classic " Blancpain styling. Jim

I see where you are going Michael, but on dial #1 the idea is to have the teeth on the chapter ring, so there is overlapping and a raising effect of the teeth. I am still hoping this will be possible from the dial makers and Ralf, because it would add depth to the dial and not have the teeth flat and painted on the dial but raised on a piece of plastic over a steel dial. I also prefer the bezel numbers base line to be on the inside like most watches, the Moray has them out, but it is vintage and I have seen real vintage examples like that, but I flipped them on the Megalodon at the request of a 3TWIS, but it is nice to hear others opinions on it, so please let us know your thoughts.

I like the version Steve has Ralf, tho the lume shot one you showed looks good, i think the teeth need to stay but maybe add a thin chapter ring lume like michael showed. I think losing the teeth takes away from the concept of what the megaladon is.

I also second the idea that there be a ring of lume like on the Barracuda but would be satisfied with many of the drafts that Steve's drawn up.

I can try a lume ring, I think it would eliminate the minute marks, unless those can appear as black. I just think it is going to add a light color to where the black is, and the teeth will not be visually pushed forward as much. I will try the idea and post it.
