Would this look good? Because it's gonna take some work to make it happen!

Thoughts? Is it worth the work?

I might put a pilot style hand set and use the power reserve where the seconds at 6 are, therefore repainting some of the small details on the dial.

 

I kinda like the look and want to lume it, but I'll have to actually reduce the diameter of the dial to work.

 

Also, I measured and made the hole for the date which turned out perfectly placed IMO.

 

Here was the dial before.....

I dunno what to do, I kinda like it but am unsure.

 

I am open to thoughts and suggestions. Thanks!

Hard to know the extent of effort, but the 44mm case is more appealing than the 47mm

 

Pilot style hands are best imho, stick hands look lost in that size case

 

Power reserve sounds good too, but repainting the dial could tip the balance away from the project???
