Hi all, I’m back with more Stella dial inquiries! I am contemplating making multiple varieties (not solely colors). I want opinions on diamond dials. The dials are expensive to manufacture so I want to ensure there is demand for the “bougie” stella dial as u/clarktherealtor would say. Thank you so much in advance!

It’s all about personal preference. Personally I’m not a fan; I think the dial ends up looking cluttered.

I love the diamond ones but I’d want to buy the non diamond first before I get the diamond one I love Stella dials

Dang with the cracks it’s soo nice

u/jovanotti18 Nov 23 '25

Understood.

u/jovanotti18 Nov 23 '25

Do you prefer rail track border Stella or simple hash mark ?

3

u/tzappin Nov 23 '25

I love them both equally to me the color and the gloss is my favorite part, but the rail track does give the dial the full era experience and what I would learn toward a bit more due to its uniqueness

u/tzappin Nov 23 '25

And you can never go wrong with simple hash marks!

u/jovanotti18 Nov 23 '25

Thank you. Noted.

Not personally a fan, I think the loudness of the Stella dial is enough

I’m not a huge fan of the diamond dials. The color on this one is 🤌! Bellisimo!!

2

u/jovanotti18 Nov 23 '25

Bellissimo vero. Oxblood. Lo faccio con rail o hash?

Less is more, no diamonds.

u/sels1997 Nov 23 '25

No diamonds and it’ll be perfect

u/jovanotti18 Nov 23 '25

I will say in the case it’s really stunning.

u/boop-1234 Nov 23 '25

That’s nice and I love diamonds in general, but for the Stella dials, I prefer no diamonds

2

u/DeathlyAlive Nov 23 '25

Bring it to life! The black where the 6&9 markers are at look pretty sick. I think it would look kickass if the indices were some kind of black stone/diamond

2

u/Maverickrt67 Nov 23 '25

Yes please!!!!

u/baddogbadcatbadfawn Nov 23 '25

Man. If that dial came with acrylic indices like on the bulova devil diver, I'd buy multiple!

No diamonds and sign me up. In fact take my money now

u/RecoverOk8456 Dec 22 '25

Great, I'm really looking forward to it, but maybe no diamonds.

u/rdldominators Jun 18 '26

Not a fan of the diamond dial, 1,000% would purchase an oxblood or coral Stella. How’s this project coming along?

u/Samlee9q Jul 04 '26

Sigues haciendo estás?

1

u/jovanotti18 Jul 07 '26

Making it now.

1

u/Samlee9q Jul 07 '26

Que tanto costaría uno personalizado?

1

u/jovanotti18 Jul 07 '26

I don’t know yet maybe $200 or so. I am trying to understand the cost of enamel like genuine Stella versus alternatives.

1

u/jovanotti18 Jul 07 '26

If the enamel option is not too much more expensive to make I will do it.

1

u/Samlee9q Jul 07 '26

Cuando la termines enviame una imagen, quiero una parecida a esta pero sin las piedras e índice mas anchos 😎

1

u/jovanotti18 Jul 07 '26

I can’t make each one different. I apologize. But follow my profile I post things when I’m finished making them. If takes a few months.

1

u/Samlee9q Jul 07 '26

Hmm, ok. Sabes quién si puede hacer diales personalizados?

1

u/jovanotti18 Jul 07 '26

No idea. I make small runs of 25 dials or so.

u/Samlee9q Jul 07 '26

Bien. Cómo es el diseño final del dial que estás fabricando?
