I had this dial left and I tried (with different colors) to reach a similar result for a new project like this.

Masterpieces are born in experiments. thank you for sharing! Sometimes I think I destroyed my part, but layer I managed to pull it to "ok" state as I treasure my "waisted " )) time. And if someone will ask, how I achieved this results I will reply it was absolutely chaotic accident ImageImageImage

I see what you mean.
IMO, since tropical dials are the result of moisture under the clear coat,
maybe you should try a "wet" process, so as the color blend and "stains" develop in an "organic" shape.
Easier to say than to do :-)
I would start by aging the whole dial surface, yours look too brand new IMHO.
