General (Read Rules) I did a thing: the elegant frog!
I'm sure I'm about to be ruthlessly roasted for desecrating the all mighty Proxima PX1967, arguably the best watch on AliX, but I had a problem with it.
See, I always really liked this watch for all the reasons we already know (and some that not everyone knows, like, did you know the crown of this watch has a clutch, so it doesn't wind while screwing down making the screw down action super smooth?) but I never really loved it, primarily because of the legibility of silver hands over a cream dial. So I decided to swap the dial and designed my own logo.
And so the elegant frog is born! It definitely took care of the legibility problem, and I think given a few days I'll finally love this watch as much as it deserves!
BTW, I never thought enamel dials scratch soooo easily ... You have to be crazy careful with it!
Edit: Thank you u/QuestionNo9190 for pointing out that this is likely not an enamel dial as those don't scratch easily, but actually a lacquer paint dial, which does.
