Advice regarding Snowflake build

Hi all, looking to build a Tudor Snowflake Sub (no date version). I'm currently in the process of sourcing parts but cannot decide on the best dial to go for.

I have seen a lot of good things said about the Yuki dials, however I can't get over the incorrect dash between "prince" and "oyster".

Have looked at Raffles but the font sizing looks a bit off to my eyes.

Contacted Helenarou to see if they had a dial available- and I was sent a photo below. From.a distance looks good, but when zoomed in, looks very much hand-painted.

Does anyone have any advice on which is the best option to go for? (Obviously ideal would to be a gen dial, but not looking to spend that much at this stage).

Cheers all!

Haven't seen or heard about Pvirus dials - do you have any more details?

Interested in this too. I've heard of Pvirus but I can't for the life of me find his contact info or website. Any help would be appreciated.

Not a fan of the HR dial. This, like most, has the "Swiss" down too close to the rehaut when installed. Plus the fonts etc are a bit off for size and style but for short money, perhaps not a bad choice. No date dials are quite expensive. My last gen 9411blue (non-service) dial was over $600.00 I can only imagine what a gen no date one would be. A grand?

ive never heard of this seller above but I'm happy to have a look once we find them and have good photos.
