Enamel dial maker for Langematik Anniversary?
Does anyone know who made the enamel dials for the Langematik Anniversary (circa 2000)? Is it different than the enamel dials produced more recently in other limited editions?

Sure thing. Yeah, the quality varies among the 500 Anniversary dials, but even that "bad" ones aren't so horrible.
The dial on the Langematik Anniversary that I wear has a bunch of little things that are visible with a loupe. There are some tiny dark spots, and some of the black printing is too light/missing (like in the word "Glashutte"). There's also a semicircular ...
