While running around trying to get my 111h dial font correctly made.

I am also working hard to
improve my 005/195 dial font too.

This is the new dial fonts prototype with bolder fonts on logo.Dial is 100% perfectly made.I am showing
this jsut for illustration of the fonts on dial only.

Hi Davidsen,

First of all - I'm sure I speak for 99.9% of the members when I say you are doing great work and your attitude towards getting things right is a huge benefit to the community.

As for the dial font, in my opinion it's too big and certainly too tall.

go to http://www.paneristi.com/reference/vendome/vendomeframeset.html

and look at the 005, the font is about 3/4 to 1/2 the size of the 30 second mark on the 9 o'clock subdial. On your dial it's about the same size. Also check out the distance between LUMINOR and MARINA.

The font itself looks correct as does the letter spacing within the words themselves.

So,

make the font 25-30% shorter
move the LUMINOR MARINA closer to the center of the watch by 2-3 mm.

cheers,
Z

Also to note is the proper placement of "L SWISS L". My dial is off and I will be looking to upgrade as well. :)
