Hand Painting Watch Dials
Hi all, as a follow up to a previous post regarding hand painting watch dials I have bought the equipment required to perform this and was wondering if anybody had a good YouTube tutorial on how to perform this task. I have searched around online and have surprisingly find very little on this subject, especially with a quartz watch.
I am also looking for some recommendations on what to have painted on the dial, officially it says the dial is 44mm but as you can see from the photo I am working with a lot less space.

Most people don't like painted dials so doing it would mostly be for you. Therefore, what can be painted would best be left to you. The diameter of the case may be 44mm, but the dial naturally fits inside that, so of course you're going to have less space.
If you really want to do it, I'd probably recommend getting the real dimension, and practicing on paper or other media first.

Thanks for your input 🍻
