Yes it would. Where do I get one?
Orange sumo dial in a DLC case would be amazing.
I'd be happy with a standard 777 with the orange dial and sapphire.
That would make a killer summer watch.
Seriously, how hard is it to source an orange Sumo dial, I wonder.

If (who am I kidding - when) I get a NAFT, I think I'll be doing a similar Sumo dial mod. I love the look of the watch with those marker surrounds. It adds a nice touch of elegance to the watch.
i just checked the date. It's fine. The window is filled up through 31, without any overlap

I really like that. Nice job. If it is all you wanted and you enjoy it, the cost is not a big deal if you can swing it.

The DLC looks phenomenal. I'm glad you kept OEM surfaces.

Did you email him for availability?the website seems to be under construction. I would love to own a shogun again some day but would want a different dial and hands.

It's totally fine. I've spent way more than this on a mod before. I'm thick like that

Barry - I emailed him directly to ask. He got back to me pretty quickly. He's fairly responsive. The shipping is a little slow, but I wasn't in a hurry.

Thanks! I kind of wished that I did my Aegir that way too. Maybe next time

Sonofabiotch that looks nice. Makes me want to go full Turdle and buy another...for the third time

They are on a Sumo and Shogun (I'm sure others) but the pictures exaggerate the green tint. It's more subtle in person

Yes, slightly. The hands aren't a perfect match, so I may swap them for some Yobokies
Here is a comparison against a dial with pure white markers

I'm not typically a DLC fan but I like this. The all blacked out watch really acts as a showcase for the wonderful mm300 hands. Nicely done.
