honestly I'm amazed rendering this dial. This is much higher than those I have done so far.

Looking for pictures of 1675 case for a reshape I came across this dial that had escaped me.

Still unsatisfied with this 1675 I contacted "Magic Trip" aka @tripdog with the hope that he could catch up with the mediocre work of the previous modder. Contrary to what I thought, Trip thinks it's not a Cartel. The case is thicker - the cgs are bigger too - he could not refine it as much as possible on a Cartel. In the end the difference is only 0.2mm which is not huge on the wrist. Fortunately it is a loss for a gain, the tube is placed higher, the rehaut is rather thin and the CG are very wide. The bezel was reprofiled, a gen 24-603 crown added, and insert replaced with a nicely faded one with vivid colours to perfect the set.
So to honor his superb work, I had prepared a new dial. After several tests of lume, I think I have found the one that suits me.

Edit : I also reduced the height of the Clark plexi. Perhaps a little bit too much but it's an easy replacement.

I would never say it enough, many thanks @tripdog !

Once again I could not reach this result without your help.
I think it's really convincing now and I love the insert vivid colours.
