JJ all the way for me. I felt the SW print was really bad and all the others custom dials I saw just weren’t that great either. I went with darker tone JJ dial and just waiting to put it in a 116519.

Yeah, I routed my JJ dial to Steve first, lol. So it was on a detour before coming to me.

It's close. OZ dials were in the range of 1K, and JJ dials are priced around the same as Nikz dials at $750ish (although you get discounts by purchasing multiple items). Over the past couple of years, the dials have come a long way, that's for sure.

Assuming his meteorite Daytona dials are around the same as his meteorite GMT dials, they were now well north of $1k.

I got his GMT dial in a Pepsi from M2M at cost ($1500/Watch/Met dial). And then I had it WG plated, but that is a completely different type of met dial. The GMTs are a little darker, like Gen.

From what I understand (as told to me by the seller), I now possess the only two Oascom Daytona dials in existence. Apparently, the way the story goes is that Oz created 2 Daytona met dials (one to sell and one for himself), and he sold one on the forum and Keishara picked it up in M2M 2nd hand. Then Keishara reached out to Pat, to get the second one, and Pat didn't want money for it. At the time, VSF/Noob was thought to be out of business, and Keishara traded a bunch of hard-to-find parts in the neighborhood of $1100 for the second Daytona dial. Keishara held on to both for a while. I reached out to him last year about one, and he eventually sold it to me 9 months later as he wasn't wearing it. I continued that conversation with him for a few months until he eventually told me that he was leaving the rep hobby and asked if I wanted the second as well. I of course jumped on it. Each of those two watches cost me around 2400 or so (I think). Well worth it. But I did just buy a JJ dial to compare them all.

His GMT meteorite dial alone is now almost what you paid for the watch and dial together.

This is what I like bout this hobby and this is what it's all about... hunting down on parts and/or building one your own to your liking... comparing different types and options out there for your grail watch. AND meeting lots of good people along the way and learning more about this hobby.
