Did southy make his own complete dial or did he lume a dow base dial? Curious on the history as southy was very well known for his PreV dials

Yes I think that’s what I have now too. Started with a Dow, from Dow, but it got damaged and I was lucky another HF member sourced me a Southy. It’s in an esdee case now with a sewn on strap from G. Love that watch
