 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.
