Here is a 28.5mm dial I have painted using acrylic paints, coated with a paint varnish.



The dial is inspired by a painting by Ilya Repin, titled "Portrait of Vsevolod Garshin" and originally painted in 1884.
Ilya Repin (1844-1940) was a Russian painter born in Kharkov Governorate (current Ukraine). One of his most famous paintings was "Ivan the Terrible and His Son Ivan", which was controversial, and also the very first painting to be banned in Russia. 
Repin bought a house in Kuokkala in 1898 (at that point Kuokkala was a part of  Grand Duchy of Finland, under the Russian Empire). After the independence of Finland in 1917 though, in 1948 that part of Finland was taken by Russia, and the place was re-named to Repino, after the artist's name.
Vsevolod Garshin (1855-1888), the model of the original painting, was a Russian author of short stories, who was born in Yekaterinoslav Governorate (current Ukraine). Also, he was the model of the aforementioned "Ivan the Terrible and His Son Ivan"'s son Ivan.
Garshin had mental illness, and attempted to commit suicide (failed) but subsequently lost his life as the result of the injuries in 1888.

I intend to use a part of the sale of this dial to be donated to a mental health organization or something.

1-Year Manufacturing Defects Warranty

I have been wearing one of the functioning prototypes for almost 6 months. So far, it's functioned with no problems, and I am confident that it would for at least the next 6 months.

The reason I made sure that it's specifically 1-Year warranty for "Manufacturing Defects" is that I believe that most of the people who have never utilized the warranty of a product don't realize that the warranty only covers Manufacturing Defects. Some watch brands offer a longer warranty, such as 5 years or 10 years—but by then, how would you know that your broken watch suffered a manufacturing defect, or normal wear-and-tear? And would you ever be able to convince the brand's customer service that it was indeed a manufacturing defect?

Their warranty doesn't cover wear-and-tear, or user error, and neither does this warranty. But I do think it is important to clarify that it is a warrant for manufacturing defects, instead of just issuing that it is a vaguely worded "warranty" which sounds like something that might cover something more than manufacturing defects. And 1 year is enough time to warrant manufacturing defects.
