Enamel dial
By: sorlou : February 2nd, 2009-06:56
I would like to purchase a mechanical watch (manual or automatic) with white enamel dial and black lettering. Preferably with Breguet pomme style hands. I haven't been able to figure out who makes enamel dials. Could someone please recommend a few models/...

When I speak about "enamel", not only the quality of the base material is important, but also the finish of the marking on it. The comparison made here between the Lange and the Breguet might be a bit misleading here, since the Lange dial is tampon printe...
Any macro pics to demonstrate your touchpoints...

I'm really no expert, but I do like my PSM Shimoda quite a bit. That said, it is possible to see minor imperfections in the enamel dial, including a dark fleck or two not visible in this photo: For someone who wants a really simple watch, the Shimoda migh...
Nice photo Gary..
