Frosted dial
Dear purists, I took a very close look at my 3130 dial using a couple of lens, and noted that the guilloche on the various parts has a frost/hammer effect I never noted. It is present on all the different patterns. Is this a known characteristic of this dial?
Thank you.

I contacted Breguet
To validate those pics and got a kind reply that explains the procedure for generating such guillochè, and the effect is exactly the intended one. I have other guilloche dials not from Breguet, and I'm pleased to have also this variant. ...
