Not a fan of it. Like others have mentioned it just doesn't seem to flow well with the lines of the dash. But to each their own

A meatball looks at home atop a pile of spaghetti, as a maraschino cherry finishes a sundae in style. These clocks, however handsome, simply look like an afterthought on top of the big flat dash. Not as bad on the bump dashes though.

I have always liked the clocks on the 60-63 dashes.....I've always thought the factory compass was the most out of place mounted by the rear view mirror.

Just curious.
Now that you have had the consensus, will you install or pass it along to the next owner ?

I had 2 NOS clocks, I just sold one and will keep the other one until I am 100% sure I don't like it.

I think they look a lot better panted to match the dash

Exactly. Looks a whole lot better when it matches the dash
