Any macro pics to demonstrate your touchpoints...
Thanks TM for your valuable tips.
Do you (or anyone) have any macro pics in your HD just to demonstrate to evenness, smoothness, non-bleeding, non-pitting, etc?
Also, macro pics of not-so-good-limited-medium-grade enamels as a comparison (Am I asking too much? 
)
Thanks again.
Pat

Enamel dial
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/...
Ling is right, the Langematik Anniversary is the King
On the top of the category, with the Richard Lange PLM, and a small step under, The Breguet 5140: The Brguet 5177: Or the 1775, which was a LE of 225 pieces, released in year 2000. Welcome here, by the way! Best. Nicolas...

Hi, Modern fired enamel (as opposed to lacquer enamel, which is not really enamel in the classical sense at all; this has been misleadingly coined "cold enamel" by the mighty PR marketing machine. Again, this is NOT enamel in the classical, collector's se...
No brand can claim they are the best
It is the collectors who make their own decisions based on their own personal preferences and subjective views. Yes, there are certain guidelines to follow, such as pitting, evenness and colour. When I examine my Lange Anniversary under the loupe, it is "...
A few basic touchpoints...
Hi, I'm no expert at fired enamelling; I have studied the various aspects of high watching, as an academic (as opposed to a practitioner) and as a collector, for more than a few years. And I tried to do so without blinding brand or industry fanaticism. Di...
Something that apparently has been forgotten here ....
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...

One macro as a start...
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..
but I guess this photo does not show the smoothness, eveness, bleed, etc as in discussion. Are these features only noticable when inspecting in flesh? Under ?x magnification? Anyway thanks for sharing. I agree this is a nice watch. Pat

How about a Lang & Heyne from the independent watchmaker Marco Lang in Dresden ? Don...
