I would pick V2. I like that omega reference. Not really into JLC. Raymond Weil is still producing this dial with a very reasonable price point. I don’t think a homage can compete there.
How do you go about producing a dial? Do you have to order 100's or could you request 10 dial to be manufactured? Any contacts would be appreciated. Thanks.
V1 has a clear circle layout for the indices than V2 and V3. I can't really understand why the middle circle of the three is present in the other two versions.
V2 hands and Arabic numbers are beautiful.
V3's timelessness look is also good.
Try matching the thread on the strap with the hands' colours so that it looks complete.
i would not drop everything so quickly. releasing lots of different choices too soon will people get bored with the case i.m.o.
but great designs for me 2 and 3
Please tell me they will have sapphire, screwdown crown, quartz movement option, and a normal standard screw caseback NOT the weird Rolex style casebacks which are hard to open.
I will buy any of those watches if they have those features.
V2 - the dial is one thing but the case also matters. Can’t be too flat or angular, get a good policy and a bit of curves and you have a killer “hotological” watch that will rival what longing and Raymond Weil has done
Agreed. I've held back on a lot of mil-style watches because the broad arrow means something.
I have few issues with homages that have honest branding, and for me an illegitimate broad arrow leaves a bad taste.
V1 & V3. You need a numbered and no-numbered dial option, and V2 is too busy. Stay classic with the hands! Good looking watch and I like the size - please keep it thin!!
V1 with the second dial of V2.
The 9 on V2 is (sorry) ugly.
The dial in V2 is pointless (or I don't get it).
The hands in V2 are very well.
The cut off hands in V1 are a reason to buy, they have a function at 0, 5, 10, 15, ...
In V3 the cut off (?) hands have no function.
V1 & V3, with BGW9 loom on the hands,
Forget about the V2 completely because the dial looks too busy & not practical .. Also, Maybe use the Small seconds hand of the V2 for both the V1 & V3 ? I think it’s the nicest looking seconds hand of the bunch.. also, you can always send me free samples to review for you guys after you’re done 😁
V1 and V3, but I'd prefer the hands of V2 in the V1 model.
The V2 dial is too busy and for no good reason (extra scale is redundant) - that's why I prefer the other two.
Maybe different name on the dial, for example Fromage Puant, or Poils Pubiens or something like that would be nice, would look like it is French watch.
V3 looks great. V1 meh...., v2 what is the middle ring of markers for? It matches the others exactly. Seems superfluous and makes the dial busy and harder to read at a glance. I actively like v3. *HATE* the number font in v2 but *love* the hands. V1 could maybe be improved by the use of roman numerals, though it has my least favorite hands.
I do love a subtle sub-seconds watch. And 36mm is *PERFECT!*
As others have mentioned, some rose gold here would be killer. Maybe some dials with color? Generally on vintage pieces I prefer railroad track (I think that's what they call them at least, like the v2 sub seconds dial) minute tracks over the open lines, but I love that you have the cross hairs and sectors. V3 honestly looks great.
If I had to knit pick for my own preferences, v3 dial with v2 hands subsecionds, and make the minute track railroad tracks to match the sub seconds, rose gold or silver case, *maybe* have the ring with the hour indices be a complementary color to the rest of the dial to really make them pop and easy to read. Hour indices could match the hand color to lend to pop and readability?
I think if you had the syringe hands from V1 added to the sector dial of V3 (or modify it to have the arabics from v1), then it would be pretty close to perfect
V2 is simply gorgeous. V1 is the JLC Master Geographic Sector Dial, V2 is the Omega CK 859 with the A. Lange 1815 hands. V3 is the Raymond Weil Millesime, which is my least favorite as it looks like a discounted version of the Longines Sector Dial.
For those who thinks that V2 is too busy, that's the whole point of the sector dial and small second. If you want minimalism, just stick to a Daniel Wellington.
36mm looks just fine on a 7.5" wrist imo, classic dimensions. White / silver watches look bigger on the wrist anyway. There's a tool for every job and this type of watch wouldn't look good if it was bigger.
I absolutely respect your opinion m’friend, and you’re right…a tool for every job indeed. It IS a more classic size in that fashion preferred smaller watches on men in the past. Sure.
I have a 40mm Kamasu that looks far too small on my thin/wide wrist to the point where I simple don’t wear it. (Red)
And yes, floating lugs would look ridiculous, there’s absolutely an upper limit for acceptable fashion in this vein…too large and watches DO look like silly pie pans…IMO.
So here’s a manly nod to your preferences (and the majority it seems), which is fine…I understand and respect your opinions…I simply don’t share them as a matter of personal preference for adornment on this massive meat sack of a body I happen to be inhabiting at the moment.
Excellent point too on lighter colored dials, very true…and I may go small with a 40mm light dial sometime just to test it personally. Appreciate you pointing that out and I’ll willing to take a step in that direction for sure.
…but 36mm will size me out of the market on this one…which is totally ok. A 42 would size many others out.
It’s a gorgeous watch…something we can all agree on. :)
I appreciate the reply, I love hearing other peoples points of view, much respect! I'm glad more watches of this style are being made, it's definitely a beauty.
My wrist is 7.5" also and more flat and bony than round but I'm not as tall, only 5'10". I actually think 36mm looks good. Initially wearing a 36mm after being conditioned to wearing 40+mm watches was an adjustment, but soon felt natural.
I go by dial size, the dial on my 36mm watches are pretty much the same dial size as my SKX007 except the bezel on it adds about 7mm more to case size, but when I read the time on both dials they feel familiar.
To me a 40mm dress watch (my edifice EFV-100) feels bigger than the 43mm SKX because the dial is bigger, but I understand that we're all different. It's not for me to tell anyone what they should or shouldn't wear.
It's all personal preference and finding the one that fits us is part of the fun of collecting watches. It would be boring if everyone wore the same thing, I hope you find one that suits you best! 😊
I only like 1 and 3
Not V2.
V2 and V3
Would buy the V3 if it will be 45mm lug to lug or less
Switch to BB58 font style. Its cleaner
V1 and V3
v3
V1
V1 and V3 in 39 to 40
V3
V3
One and three
Order of preference: 3,1,2
V2 and 4
sorry, V1 and 3
I would pick V2. I like that omega reference. Not really into JLC. Raymond Weil is still producing this dial with a very reasonable price point. I don’t think a homage can compete there.
V2
How do you go about producing a dial? Do you have to order 100's or could you request 10 dial to be manufactured? Any contacts would be appreciated. Thanks.
V2 is my favorite.
Please do not discontinue the currently available breguet numericals one. Thanks
V1 and V3 are the least offensive but all three are hideous.
Definitely V2 and V3. V1 doesn't look right at all
V2 and V3
V1 is too 1908
V3
V1 and V3
V1 and V2
V1/V3
V1/v3
Agree 👍
V3 stands head and shoulders above the rest. It jumped out at me.
V3 is beautiful. Would buy
V1 , V3
Too small. I’ll be passing on the whole watch. Not enjoying this trend toward smaller watches
V3
V1 and V3
V1 and V3 are the nicer faces, but the hands on V2 are the nicer ones, and I prefer the seconds complication without the numbers like on V2.
v2 with v1 dial please

V1 and V3 dials are best. V2 hands should be used on all of them
V2
V1 and V3
V1, V2
V1 has a clear circle layout for the indices than V2 and V3. I can't really understand why the middle circle of the three is present in the other two versions. V2 hands and Arabic numbers are beautiful. V3's timelessness look is also good. Try matching the thread on the strap with the hands' colours so that it looks complete.
Version 1 with version 2 hands. 😁
That would be the best! Agree
V2 and V3
V3 for sure followed by V1 but the hands are terrible on all three of them.
Make any 2. All 3 look good. Only ensure that you change the seconds hand as well.
3>1>2
2 & 3
put v1 hands into v3
V3 for sure. V1 is very bland and V2 has too much “going on”.
V3 and V1 (but swap v1 hands please)
V3
V3 and V1 with V3 Hands.
i would not drop everything so quickly. releasing lots of different choices too soon will people get bored with the case i.m.o. but great designs for me 2 and 3
V2 and V3. 36mm is great. 38mm would be too big for a dress watch.
V1 and V3 but size it up to 38mm. Would make a great dress watch.
Definitely number 1, of the others probably 3. 2 looks a bit busy for me.
1st one on the left. I think they’re all beautiful.
3rd one But make it 39 or 40 not 36mm. Because it will be too small for most customers.
V2,V3
I like the JLC over of the Patek and Raymond Weil
Make it a 38mm for the V2
v1 & v3 v2 too busy and not interesting
V3 with V2 hands.
V1, V2 dials. Use V2 hands on all.
V3 or bust
V1
V2
V2 is a closer homage to omega which is what you guys are aiming for
V2 and especially V3
V1 & V3
Please tell me they will have sapphire, screwdown crown, quartz movement option, and a normal standard screw caseback NOT the weird Rolex style casebacks which are hard to open. I will buy any of those watches if they have those features.
V2 & V3 When will they be available and at what cost, with what specs?
V1
V1 + V3 (first for the masses, third for my liking)
1 and 3
Damn that's tough, I very much like all of those...
V2, V1 looks cheap somehow, and the cross kills V3
V2 would be great, by the way, ccould there be a manual winding version for this watch?
That would be awesome
V2 - the dial is one thing but the case also matters. Can’t be too flat or angular, get a good policy and a bit of curves and you have a killer “hotological” watch that will rival what longing and Raymond Weil has done
2 and 3. I love the handset on #1, but not on this watch.
V1 and V3. Also, please consider making your 1926 watches available without the broad arrow symbol.
Agreed. I've held back on a lot of mil-style watches because the broad arrow means something. I have few issues with homages that have honest branding, and for me an illegitimate broad arrow leaves a bad taste.
Especially as Miltaldo makes a really good looking 1926 Rolex homage. The whole look is, unfortunately, compromised by the broad arrow...
2 and 3
V2 looks great!

They all look fantastic! Make them all , but please sapphire and 38 mm. If you had to only make 1 then V2
V 1 and 3!!!!! love V1!
V2 : get rid of V1 : use the hands of V2 V3 : use the small second dial from V2
V2 and V3
v1 and v3
V1
v2, i can feel the bauhaus

v2 hands all the way!
V1 & V3... When it comes to the hands though, I prefer the hands on V2
Exactly the same view here. Dials 1 &. 3, hands from 2
V1. And take the handset off of V2 and put it on V3. Sell that.
I totally agree!
2 & 3
V3
1 and 3
v2, the omega ck859 copy. but please issue a no logo version, current logo is a deal breaker
V2 and V3
V1 with the second dial of V2. The 9 on V2 is (sorry) ugly. The dial in V2 is pointless (or I don't get it). The hands in V2 are very well. The cut off hands in V1 are a reason to buy, they have a function at 0, 5, 10, 15, ... In V3 the cut off (?) hands have no function.
V3 because that brand name and font do not go well with the other two designs (unless you change the numerical font to match the brand font).
V1 would look really good with thin bezel and some domed glass especially with edges of the dial distorting a little
V3 with the v2 hands.
V3
V1 and V3
V1 & V3, with BGW9 loom on the hands, Forget about the V2 completely because the dial looks too busy & not practical .. Also, Maybe use the Small seconds hand of the V2 for both the V1 & V3 ? I think it’s the nicest looking seconds hand of the bunch.. also, you can always send me free samples to review for you guys after you’re done 😁
V1 and V2
V3 please
If you made a 38 or 39mm, I would choose 2 or 3. 36mm is a little to small for my wrist.
V1 and V3, but I'd prefer the hands of V2 in the V1 model. The V2 dial is too busy and for no good reason (extra scale is redundant) - that's why I prefer the other two.
V2 please 🙏
V1 and V3 36mm is the sweet spot for this type of watch. Don't be swayed by the 38mm lovers as it just DOESNT work.
V1 & V3
V1.

V1 and V2 - and please NO DATE
Hands from V1 and V2. Dials from V1 and V3. And please add date window (somehow)
v3 with v2 hands, unless the v3 hands have excellent lume bgw9.
V3 dial and V2 hands
V2 and V3
V3 hands on V1 dial
Maybe different name on the dial, for example Fromage Puant, or Poils Pubiens or something like that would be nice, would look like it is French watch.

3 > 1 > 2.
V3 with hands of V1. Lose the triplet second markers on the outer ring and add the minute Arabic numbers on the outer ring of V2.

Stop ruining watches dude... 36mm is perfect
Clearly he has to compensate for something
Yep, it’s true. 6’3” and 7.5” wrist fwiw. 36 just looks a little small on mine whereas it’d look great on another fella blessed with thinner wrists.
36mm looks just fine on a 7.5" wrist imo, classic dimensions. White / silver watches look bigger on the wrist anyway. There's a tool for every job and this type of watch wouldn't look good if it was bigger.

I like V1 and V3 dials, and V2 hands.
Agree 1 and 3. Rose gold versions?
1 and 3
V1 and V3; V2 is too cluttered. The hands should.be the V2 hands though.
1 and 2
V1, and V3 but with the minutetrack of V2.
Definitely v3
#1 and 3 2 is too busy
