I just turned a bunch of blanks from Ernie - the blanks I have are very nicely made. The square side of the blanks distort the look of the dials. They are wrapped correctly, and tightly,around the tubes.
I used to want hands on everything, but random hands on high-end dials make them look cheap.
Ernie, the green Maurice Lacroix dial is one of my favorites. I hope it brings you both happiness and $$$.
