Why did this thread now revert to a Rolex thread?

Apologies, I should have been clearer. I meant the watch overall at 36mm, not just the dial. Obviously.

Yep, proportions and balance, and homogeneity of font/size. None of which the '10 atmospheres' has.....in my opinion. That is what makes it look cluttered, to my eye.

At only 36mm the dial should be left as uncluttered as possible so as not to shrink it, particularly with a mix of fonts/sizes.

Bloody good news!

The bigger numerals are great and the red sweep seconds is a winner too. My only thought is that the lumed area of the hour hand could be a couple of mm longer, the 10 position occupies more space...

Good call about the numbers being ever so slightly bigger. I also think the red second hand would be worth looking at, maybe without the lollipop.

The C looks to have great promise, particularly at 36mm. It picks up the feel of the original A454 quite nicely.
