Has anyone replaced the dial on a blancpain/tornek rayville homage with a custom one or just relumed the stock one? I would love to see some pics,of the whole watch or just the dial,whatever you have! Please!:)

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
)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.

How did you make those custom bezel inserts?
