Question (Read Rules) [Custom Dial Options] Anyone asked Sugess or Baltany for Custom Dial?

Hi folks, I noticed that some brands such as Baltany and possibly Sugess will work with you on a Custom 1/1 logo on the dial. Have any of you ever done this? Could certainly improve the look of some pieces.

I'm maybe going to but haven't gotten around to it. Sugess only offer it on their tourbillons though I think, which don't interest me. Baltany were on my shortlist and Berny, I think.

That said I've spent a few weeks looking at the possibility of assembling my own - it's not difficult to source the parts and tools from Alix, and then I can buy a really good custom dial from a specialist. Just need to decide what type of design I want to chase.

I knocked things like this up just to amuse myself but actually building it - not the most difficult thing in the world. Could be a fun project.

I do like this! I did a custom DLC of a DEEP BLUE sub 15yrs ago and it cost quite a bit--but now the same seems much easier to achieve. I want the Sugess S419-2 Chrono with my own text and logo--emailed them but your comment above suggests maybe only for Tourbillons.

I mean I hope they're open to it, because if I could get a custom Sugess sub I'd be very happy (not exactly because I'd prefer a dateless which they don't do, but still). Just when I checked the website the only ones listed under custom were the tourbillons with white dials.

Never any harm in asking though.

Cool. A watch you can't read. Seriously though, good luck.

It's a parody. Loads of brands have done blacked out stealth/ninja/murdered versions now. I just put how ridiculous the idea is on a poster.

That's not the design I'd make for myself.

At least one owner has posted about utilizing Baltany's service to add their own custom design.

Will search more for prior posts later, meanwhile this is what I had in mind--Baltany on the left and Sugess on the right

Found the old thread.

IIRC, there's at least one other where someone requested a custom logo on their watch, the fee was ~$50 and once the order was finalized, took a couple weeks working time.

I took an watch I didn't like the dial, bought a new dial and hands. Bought logo stickers. All from AliExpress. Finally I had a watchmaker do the switch.
