What makes this a fantasy dial? Is the open six' on the dial? It's trust it is a fantasy dial just never realized it.

Yep, it's the too open 6s, the Submariner font is too short, and SCOC is a wee bit too tall. Add to that the stubby cgs and too tall rep crown and there you have it. MBW makes a nice white sub dial, don't know about Yuki, etc.
