While I was waiting for my Vingt 8, I had asked Kari for the second dial. In the end, after a waiting time of less than a year, I received one watch and two dials in 2019. Good old days. ...  

For me the coloured dial. Personally, and each to their own obviously, I never understood not going a little more expansive in dial colours and (it goes without saying) guilloche patterns with Kari. Of course, you have the best of both. Which is the smart...

Very smart dial choices that covers the spectrum of character.

Do you change them yourself?

Kari watches are an extremely sexy combination of guilloche, hand-finishing and tear-shaped lugs.

Both iteration are beautiful. I like the red because it is more of a statement piece. Nice strap as well

Almost look like you having 2 very different watches.

Which dial do you find yourself wearing more often and would you have to send the watch back to atelier for dial swap?

Unfortunately there is not easier and safer way to change the dial for me other than bringing it to the manufacture or handing over to Kari directly.

For me the burgundy is my fav but hard to choose tbh
