Its a superb dial and we will never see something like it again.

What is interesting is also how different they are. I was able to see two side by side. One was great the other a little less so. It’s the same as with the MOP dials. Some specimens are extraordinarily beautiful while others just don’t appeal or are just too much. I think it adds that layer of uniqueness we also know from the vintage world.
An other point I love about this one, even if it can seem detrimental to the Chronometre movement, is that it’s a two handed piece. That’s something I have only come to a appreciate in the last few years. There is something calming and meditative about a two handed watch. Especially if the dial is spectacular and interesting as this one.
Congratulations on a superb watch. I’m am very envious 😊

Perhaps 1 of the most unusual dial material in watch making
I love this watch

and have seen the making of video although I’m unsure why this one has a horizontal ‘join’ (?) in the lower half of the dial.

I believe the joint is where they fold-opened the circular gun barrel
