 I like that Seiko dial, it is a good example of what I was thinking for raised teeth, and I think a lume ring on that seiko wouldn't look as nice, for the same reason I am not big on the idea for this dark dial.

Ralf, could it be an option on dial 1, (lume chapter ring or not) sounds like it could get confusing.

to accommodate this lume ring you speak of, I think the teeth all need to move more towards the center to make room behind them, but again, for me it is a matter of lights and darks, and the lume bezels seems distracting to me on this dial, I was going to make a lume chapter ring for dial #2, but if we are not done with #1 yet, then I will need to bring the teeth in, or make them larger, but need to make more room behind them, it isn't a matter of overall dial size, it is how much room there is behind the teeth.

I am not going to show all the bezels each time at this point, Ralf said 3 will be available, I am sure there will be options to choose from. I think it is better to focus on the dial elements at this point.

I am fast with the designs, but it does take time away from my regular work, so little changes I will not make and I can't show every idea.

but next I will move the teeth in a bit and thicken the plastic around them to make room for a lume chapter ring, or just black chapter ring with minute marks.
