I did not find anything on AliX. I did find suppliers who can make custom stickers in metal or print, but with 50+ pieces order. still reasonable prices though

It would probably be easier to just use a rep 116x Daytona dial assuming the subdial pinions are in the same places. They should be if the SL 4801 is a true clone of the 4130. Even if the dial feet positions are different, that's an easily surmounted issue. The Sugess dial markers can be swapped over to the rep Daytona dial to complete the look. There are some rep Daytona dials with pretty skinny subdial rings, I have several.

Way too expensive. JJ can make that for anyone for 1/4 the price.Daytona Le Mans 24 Inspired Dial 2

mine is a 7750.
I did see some Daytona 7750 rep dial on AliX, hidden under translucent paper. Nothing currently there though
Also Raffles has a Panda dial but his website is not specific about movement. He just says "Chinese Shanghai 6 hands"...might ask him sometime
at 1/4 of that price, i'll buy a BTF and live with my sugess homage

Hmm. That Surgess is actually quite nice. Unusually, and fortunately, for a Chinese copy brand it doesn’t have a stupid name like Parnis or Whispering ballsack or whatever.

ARF dials are 7750. They need shaving down in OD by 1mm (easy peasy, see my
tutorial). But they are great dials and were often swapped into Noobs.
Here's an ARF V2 Panda I've had for quite a while, would be perfect for a Sugess. Might even give this a go. C'mon Gates of Hell!

Fair points bro. The CGs could stand to be opened up a little on the inside. The pushers might be compatible with some rep ones, though I could live with those. The big draw is a 39mm case with the new bezel style and some swappable new style markers with a gen clone movement.I see how the Sugess is an interesting option, but I couldn’t live with these awful crown guards and pushers:
Sugess pic is scaled down slightly to account for its smaller case size. Its larger crown doesn't help the CG appearance so a swap to a 7mm rep crown should help too.

Reddit is objectively one of the worst sources of information imaginable. It’s an echo chamber of half-truths.
I did get some good tips on Reddit through Google Search...but I always cross check
