Default Custom Porsche 928 Watch

Can someone smarter than me tell me how to customize my Apple Watch into a Porsche 928 watch?

I have a few of the watches that we did in Seiko, pre-Apple, and I will sell one of them for $250, brand new.

I guess that I should have posted the availability of these 928 watches in my business sponsorship since I have more than one of them to sell. I had the foresight of obtain several of the newly designed watch dials by Shawn several years ago and have them put into Seiko watches for which they were designed, primarily to satisfy whatever later market might show up for any of them. Now might be the time. I have about 16 of them and now offer them for $300 each. That includes what I paid for the dials, for the conversion at a qualified watchmakers, and for what I paid for the watches, plus something for what I have had invested in them for now about 8 years. There are two basic styles of the watches, differing mainly on how they are connected to the watch bands. Here are a couple of pictures of them.

Man, I remember everyone arguing over how that design should look back before it was made! I was in the camp that thought the "928" at the 9 oclock position should have been tilted down so that the 9 was at 9 oclock and the 8 was at 8 oclock, with the 2 in between.

If anyone has an old file of one of the original dial designs than can be edited-
or a good pic/scan of a non installed face and wanted to post it- that would be cool!

I'll look around, but I can't even imagine where that might be. The '928 watch' thread where we designed it is probably as good a source for an image of the dial as any.
