Found this and like it (the dial). Would love one on a “mini” radiomir case (42mm...... well, I know). Probably DLC coated without case engravings will look good?

Yup. Agree. Is there a 42mm “radiomir” case?

There probably is like the PAM 620 or some Parnis homage brand Radiomir type case but your issue will be which movement could fit in there. I use the manual wind 6497 which is most likely too big to fit inside that case.

Thanks. Will probably have to find a modder to build one ...

I don’t know how I missed those SIHH-inspired Radiomirs — awesome projects man

Here’s something in the works. Going to make a F.P. Journe blue sunburst dial no seconds.
Modeled after this.

Possible to make such a dial? I think I can wear a 45mm Radiomir case.

Very cool, are rhese all 45mm cases?

Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk

Most of them are 44-47mm

The dial sizes vary from 34.5-39mm too.

I got my hands in today here is the completed F.P. Journe homage.
