I like your idea, Jay

I of the have similar taste to yours. I also love the jade and the MOP the most of all the special dials. (Ok, maybe be the basket weave engraved are the top) thEven if I think there is a big difference between the jade and the MOp and how it is applied. The Jade dials are mounted with screws on top of the base dial, showing the thickness and the cut edges. It may be difficult to do on a CS dial as the seconds and PR are just a slight recess.? My favorite MOP dials are those of the Nacre dials where there is a cutout with parts of the dial.my guess is that this would be easier to make. I still love the blue print on the Macre dials and how it “floats” on the MOP. I think it accentuates the quality of the material even further. You don’t get this as strongly in the MOP Optimum as there is too much surface and too little print.
Sadly Geneva is not listening. The production of the Nacre dials is ended. I love this idea though!
Have a great weekend, dear friend.
Christian

I wouldn’t mind having two of those either-three might be unnecessary 😆 Here’s my CS on the purple/gold Centigraphe strap with your (and my) dream piece for a background. ...
Quite frankly

I’m satisfied with just the Chronometre optimum. If I really had to choose one maybe the tourbillon
Yes but that is also one of the best....

Really missing in my collection but I’m working on that. ...which Tourbillon would you be dreaming of HAGWE Mr Gatsby 😊👍
Good old CS. Somehow....

I it’s my favorite watch. Ever, I think ...it’s just a simple watch it Soo good! It’s great to have dreams but I feel lucky that some of them have come true 😊 have a great weekend dear favorite Druid. C.
Yes, it would!

I suspect it would work super well with this particular dial. I’m not a big fan of the black dials in general but one of my favorite black dials is the Centigraphe. I love the way the subdials fill the “black space” somehow this strikes me as similar. A n...
Centrigraphe is amazing

Honestly Black Centigraphe is one of my grail chronograph with 5070. (I am keeping rmy grail rattrapantes in a separate grail catagory)
I like your idea, Jay

What a sensual beautiful watch. I like your dream, dear Mike. Have a great weekend my friend!
How about it???!!!!
By: ChristianDK : November 13th, 2020-14:32
😮😮😮😮😮 Yes, that is a dream. Sadly I have never seen it. I think it is still in the collection of the original owner? Did you have a chance to see it, Mo? Have a great weekend my dear friend.
I'll share a humble contribution:

I love the rose gold dial with embossed numerals combined with the rose gold case and rose gold movement. I even thought about the rose gold bracelet, but this was too much! ...
Is this yours?
By: TheMadDruid : November 13th, 2020-12:52
It is a beauty.
What a beautiful piece
By: ChristianDK : November 13th, 2020-14:36
It’s interesting how the embossed numerals show differently to the applied. If you know what to look for it’s visible and quite beautiful! HAGWE!
Strikingly bleutiful! ;-)

Beautiful. Christian
