I'm not a big fan of the dart dial so I would prefer a numbered dial...

Steve, here are 4 ideas for the dial you might want to consider: 1) black dial, with simple white Breguet style minute markers 12, 3, 6 and 9 (date at 4). Crown can be PVD'd black 2) brushed gold dial with round dot indeces, would look very complimentary to the bronze case. Crown can be TiNite. 3) ivory or bone dial, would bring out the bronze patina even better with 12 round black minute markers; date at 4 4) gun metal gray dial, black round dot indeces; black PVD'd crown or dull beadblasted steel Greenish/tarnish dial? Also good if you can already anticipate how the bronze case would tarnish and you make the green dial a shade or 2 lighter. No idea on crown color. Just my thoughts...might turn out to be a very unique, hard to find timepiece. Last edited on Fri May 7th, 2010 10:39 am by bigrustypig |

Keeping with our simplicity and clean dials, here is a dial with numbers... We can discuss colors after the dial designs are complete, but I think the bronze case will not look good with colored dials, we can use the new dial designs in the steel case and make them blue or orange or have a few colors or styles.

That looks very good Steve!...I am actually a huge fan of you Moray Dart Dial (I have a Blasted Dart Dial that is still one of my favorites), but the numeric dial with number at 3, 6, 9, 12 only is very, very cool and would suit the bronze very nicely. What do you think about making the five minute markers into "mini darts" instead of rectangles...same dimensions, but the rectangle markers would essentially be triangles with the top of the triangle pointing into the dial...subtle, but I think would sort of bring together the two Moray dial designs nicely!!! ...and I think I actually like the minute markers as "lines" instead of "dots" like you have in the original Dart design...just seems more precise IMO. I would combine "line" markers for the minutes, with "mini darts" (ie. triangles) for the 5-minute markers. I don't know...maybe I'm being picky, but if it's not too difficult Steve...you could post that one side-by-side with this one!!! Thanks, Chris Last edited on Mon May 10th, 2010 11:32 pm by stew77 |

I think those are all very good ideas, and I like the way they look...

Steve, I would like to see a dial version with all 12 numbers including small 13-24 numbers located in an inner circle. Mitch

Any chance of bronze coloured hands? Maybe some vintage lume?
