my fantasy sausage 111 dial will soon transform to a 111 sandwich dial of the skyline of new york city. new york city is one of my favorite cities in the world one that has great significance to me. i lived in manhattan for 12 years, worked at the world financial center and commuted every day through the world trade center.

nyc has great significance to me as i lived in manhattan for 12 years, worked at the world financial center and commuted every day through the world trade center.

Wow!!!!!! This is incredible! You hand painted this?!

Truely amazing, and absolutely inspiring.

What lume colour did you decide on for the hands? I'm not sure orange would be the best match for these?

thank you. i cannot take credit for the artwork, i commissioned an artist that specializes on custom dial work. see other works of the artist here: www.painteddials.com.

these are the first preview pics and i may change out the original color lume to a white GX3 instrad of the orange for better contrast.

will post completed PAM111 NYC watch once all complete.

****taking suggestions for what type of leather strap or bracelet shouldbe used.

Navy leather strap with orange stitching?

Looking good so far though :)

Have you thought about doing different lumes on markers to reflect the different colours on the dial next to them?

thanks for the suggestion on what type of strap. the lume was going to be a GX3 orange but has been changed to a GX white lume.

come on fellas other suggestions as to leather strap to compliment this 111/nyc sunset dial!

Awesome!

I vote for blue hands with white lume, and blue strap with white stitching.

Maybe also a brushed case+bezel? :g:

You should try some digital graphic simulations.

Any updated pics of this? :)

re: the hands, Is it possible to remove the lume from the middle section, where it's supposed to be, and then lume the metalwork instead, so they're see-through?

My gut tells me a sharp and simple black band would be best. It would make the dial pop. I think colored stitching, patterns, etc... would make it all too much. The dial doesn't need to compete with anything.

My 2 cents.

Congrats on a great project.
