Today I got some other dial samples from a different  dial factory.
 These factory makes the lume how I like it.
lume pic is in  comparison with a Orient 300m my best glowing watch it is C3 and not the Japanese lume.
It is much stronger than the first samples.
 The BRG dial came with a black letter printing FAULT !!!! production dials will have the letters and minute markers in white.
 The lume ring from the #1 dial has now the right diamete,r no gap between lume and case.
The #6 dial BRG will be plain not textured(vintage style). Only dial #1 #2 and #4 will be textured

Ralf, are you going to use the same company for dial #3, like the one i took?  I really like the greenish look of the lume on the first silver dial you posted.  Also, is the the black surrondings of numbers will make it to production?

Thx!

I will use on all dials (except dial 5) the greenish C3 and the silver dial will get black surroundings of the numbers

The lume looks great! ... but I am a little disappointed that there is no texture on the BRG dial :( . I think the seafoam green dial turned out really nicely with the texture ... it gave it some depth.

This:



versus this:



I was hoping the BRG would be just like the bottom one, just a different color.

I don't disagree with you PS, it would be nice to have the texture on the BSG dial too, however, I also like the non textured look ....if there was a choice I might have a hard time deciding mistake.gif

This looks a little different than the picture in the case thats posted, the lume looks like C3 here which is a good thing. I agree the dial looks kinda drab, hope it brightens up some in the sun.

Dial #1 is so perfect! This will have such a nice vintage look to it... I am very anxious to see the finished product! I am really thinking of scoring another. Thanks for the update Ralf...

Blue minute markers and lettering would give it a very cool retro look.

I can't wait for dial #1.  Maybe it's just me, but I still kinda wish it had the "500m" printed below the post to compliment the "Benarus" above the post.  Even if it was a smaller font than the "500m" printed on the other dials.  Small thing, but am I alone on this one?

No, you're not alone. I haven't been able to decide between the dart dial and the silver dial (I know, time is running out). Adding "500m" to the dart dial probably wouldn't decide it for me, but you never know.
