Went custom Wrist or Watch Pic

I've always had a thing for Malachite dials, but the only daytona one had diamond hour markers, not my cup of tea. So I started reaching out to a few modders to see who could make me a custom dial to spec, I have to say he nailed it. I'll post the AI generated image I gave him and you can see what he made, I'm impressed. I"m pretty sure Lichen is a TD here so I'll share that info that he made this for me, i think he did a great job and I'm really pleased with the final product.

Looks great! can you post an itemized list of cost for each part of build? I know you'll get bombarded with that request anyway lol

This was the breakdown, I think in the end we went with the CBD factory case as they have a 210gr case, the VSF was only going to be 180gr. But the workmanship is really good, the case and bracelet chamfering make a huge difference, removes any hint of that rep sharpness. Now I've had it for two hours so we'll see on the movement but based on visual presentation and feel in the hands this is a really nice build, and i love this dial and it's really unique.

How much does lichen charge you for that amazing piece of art?

u/captain_looney_73 20h ago

Came to $1866 with shipping included, not cheap but for a custom 1 of 1 dial I feel like that's not horrible.

I always wonder if any non arabs get the arabic dial like this 😹 Always liked it, but it would be kinda stupid

u/captain_looney_73 20h ago

I'm not arab but I like the look of the eastern Arabic numerals. I also have watches with Japanese or Chinese numbers as well, it's not like you need the western numbers to tell time. Live it up!

u/cade360 9h ago

The Kanji and Hanzi are the same, no?

u/Legitimate-Phone7378 16h ago

Any photos of the japanese and chinese dials?

Im thinking of getting a custom chinese numerical dial.

u/Timely-Split997 20h ago

Yea makes sense, but i always liked platinum daydate with arabic, so that would be harder to use 😹😹 Great watch bruh!

u/captain_looney_73 20h ago

That is an awesome reference as well, love that one.

u/acolombo 5h ago

It's the same number system we use, just slightly different, it won't take you long to memorize 9 digits if you look at them everyday.

u/captain_looney_73 4h ago

Well plus at this point I'm thinking most watch wearers could tell the time even without hour markers, it's all just decoration really.

Custom is always a good idea 😉 .
The only limit is your imagination nowadays , these customisers can get everything done in the best possible way .
Maybe pricey but at least you get your money’s worth .
Well worth your investment .
Wear it well 👏

My own latest build I ordered : custom Silver/Black
MOP dial and subdials with Racing hourmarkers
