It's not every reference...
...but in particular, I think the Roman numerals they use are not elegant. They are 'flipped' to start with (a pet peeve of mine). The baselines of the numerals don't follow the curve of the dial edge, they are square. Look at the Chopard and Rolex examples to see how the numerals follow the curve of the dial. I find the KV crown to be far too big. The lugs are too prominent. And the IV instead of IIII throws the dial off balance. The examples with Arabic (1, 2, 3) dials look better to me. But their movements are much more pleasing to my eye. So I'll keep the movement, but would need a custom dial and case. I'm not that rich though : )

I’m curious to find out more about the proportions and dials looking “off”
I confess that I commissioned a piece a few years back based on another KV I had seen and tweaked the dial configuration on a GMT-6. There were a few earlier dials that KV made that had different proportions before we came to a landing.

Thanks for clarifying.
I went for a more simple approach for my GMT-6. The challenge with so many customization possibilities is that you can get lost in the design. I had seen a similar design which I liked. The proportions of the design fields are different to the more standa...
What a super nice Vingt-8.
I really like the monotone guilloche dial finish here which I’m sure contrasts nicely with the blued hands.
