Voutilainen Vingt 8. Same watch different dials.
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.

Voutilainen Vingt 8. Same watch different dials.
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. ...
Those were the 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...
Totally agree with you Jay.
At that time, one side of me was for a typical Voutilainen with unusual guilloche pattern and rare colours and the other side of me was saying go for a pure classic with Kari. I was lucky enough to have both. Swapping the dials requires a visit to manufac...
Wonderful dials (and case and watch)!

Yes.
All my limited watches are no:13. Since it is not a limited edition, indeed a customised piece, it can not be numbered,. So I asked Kari to change I with XIII on the dial. Well, both of us hesitated a bit for ruining the dial but the result was satisfacto...
I’m still processing the “less than a year” statement 🤯
Very smart dial choices that covers the spectrum of character.
Please post more often!
Kari watches are an extremely sexy combination of guilloche, hand-finishing and tear-shaped lugs.
What a story
Both iteration are beautiful. I like the red because it is more of a statement piece. Nice strap as well
Great foresight to procure a second dial and having both arrived at the same time.
Almost look like you having 2 very different watches.
two extremes of kari beauty bravo!
Which dial do you find yourself wearing more often and would you have to send the watch back to atelier for dial swap?
Red had more wrist time until now.
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.
