    This is for the dial, but everything is related. We'll get to the dial later...
    The case related dial sections are the thickness, highlighted in purple, and a recess for sinking the small seconds in yellow.

    This has the hand heights which affects the total height limits of the case. Red is hour and minutes, which has options for thicker dials, I'm using standard height. Blue is for the small seconds which has a fixed height.

    What to do with all this in a later post.

    Edit: Also pretty excited about this:
