Hello all!
I am building a piece for myself that will require a mod on a Steeldive that has an NH35 seiko movement.
Wondering if anyone in this group could help me with a dial for it?
Here is the watch:
A couple of the dials I like (done by Mr. kelly but who is out for 3-4 weeks) and some others are below. Let me know your thoughts.

Re: Dial help
There is a guy on eBay who does dials like the ones you have shown.
His name is:
leszekguilloche
Here are a few examples of his work:
I don’t know if he does custom jobs or not. I actually don’t even know but he may be a member here?
On the forum the dial makers include:
Belkin12
Norskguru
Bigwaved
Odokadolo
Among others.

Re: Dial help
Would also love to get this Rhino on as a dial. Not sure if everyone uses pre-designed templates or create their own.

This Rhino is not a dial but a coin,
you can't have the same 3D depht and details on a 0.40mm thin dial.
The first dial you're showing seems to be laser engraved, the other ones, with lowest details are acid etched.
I can laser engrave dials, (see my posts in Seiko section) but design and finishing are very time consumming.

Re: Dial help
Yes understandable on the 3D. For this coin. Just showing that to reference what I was wanting to achieve from and laser engraving if possible.Fizzzz wrote:Hello,shanostyle wrote: ↑May 17th, 2023, 9:47 pm

I’m willing to pay for the time consuming nature of the design and finishing too. This piece will go with me until I die.

Re: Dial help
I may be able to do it, but you need to refine your project, these dials you're showing are so different...shanostyle wrote: ↑May 18th, 2023, 5:12 amYes understandable on the 3D. For this coin.

You also have to keep in mind that dials for Seiko are very small...
Did you check my builds?
