Commissioned Dial Advice?

I have an extra set of dial and hands for my Speedmaster that I've collected over the years, and I'd like to commission an artist or dial maker to create a custom piece that I can interchange with my original. Alternatively, I'd also be open to having a completely new dial and hands made from scratch, as long as they fit properly.

Has anyone here commissioned a custom dial, either as an artistic project or a restoration? If so, do you have any recommendations? How did it turn out? Pictures would be appreciated!

In my research, I came across Chris Alexander, aka The Dial Artist (https://www.thedialartist.com/pages/about). He has done some impressive work with various brands—his grenade piece with L'Epée at Watches & Wonders last year particularly stood out to me. Unfortunately, he hasn't responded to my emails.

Does anyone know of other artists or dial makers worth considering?

** Update... The Dial Artist responded. Apparently the intake form online is working incorrectly. So I emailed directly. I will post updates. In the meantime, I am happy to hear advice if anyone has any.

That’s fantastic I would love to see what you guys come up with. Please post your progress and finished piece.
