I replaced my with a seiko dial. I did not want the watch to be modern. I replaced the original bezel and it changed the direction of the build.

In my opinion, you could age/lume the original dial. If not happy, get cutom dial and bezel insert.

Yes,reluming the original dial is a good option,seeing some examples would be great. :)

Very nice build. Where did the bezel insert come from?

Next step will be to add a custom dial (not seiko :D )and thinner custom bezel insert, but maybe on the last version of the case witout drilled lugs.
Just need to wait for the reopening of my slocal laer engraver/maker with the begining of the deconfinement, planned on 11th of may here in France.
