Hello, I sometimes have conflicted feelings when I try to get a relatively expensive watch with a printed dial.
I think if I am spending this much money, I want to enjoy all the details and finishes that I can’t see on cheaper watches. And, I want a watch dial that feels more “built” than “printed”. So, I think I like raised or carved indexes and details on the dial. When I see a printed dial, I feel like it’s not really “worth” the money.
What do you guys think? If it’s the same price, do you prefer printed or raised/carved dials? Do you think watches with printed dials feel “worth” the money"?
I prefer printed dials. They’re more difficult to get right than dials with applied indices.
