Officine Panerai

Please state your answer in the title, this makes it easier to count In general , what do you prefer ? a painted dial or a sandwich ? I personally prefer them painted ... I guess every time so I don't make a difference between an Radiomir, Luminor, 1950 o...

And also because I don't like the sandwich dials when they are too pronounced. Best, Nicolas.

... gives the dial more detail. And it also feels like a feature that is very specific to the brand. Best, Rob.

I would rather have 5 painted & 1 sandwich Panerai's rather than 5 sandwich & 1 painted. So, if I only had 1 Panerai, I would choose sandwich. But if I had a lot of Panerai's, I'd rather have a vast majority of them painted. - AT

I like to be able to see the huge slap of tritium when it age so painted for me but if it is modern PAM with luminova then sandwich. Since I would probably get any preV or T-dial with painted dial. That's leave me to consider sandwich dial when buying a m... 

If I had to guess the outcome of this poll before it started, I would have guessed 80%+ would favor painted. Not only would I have been wrong, but the vote is exactly the opposite. I am genuinely surprised. FWIW, all but one of my current PAMs are painted...

But I would not turn my back on a painted. Best regards, George

Sandwich on Rads. Painted on LUminors

I prefer sandwich for 47mm cases as long that they are base. All others, painted. Cheers, Asi

I am quite surprised by the results so far todate.

it depends on the case and the type of Panerai (base - gmt - chrono etc ..) there's no general rule for me, it all depends the overall look for me

For me, no doubt: i actually prefer the sandwich even if it depends of the case (47, 44, Rads...) and of the era (tritium or not, aged luminova...). I find sandwichs more deep and darker. And a little more technical too! IMHO, the best matching is vintage... 

Probably because I have way too many painted dials!

especially like the painted dail with lacquor ;-) you know what i mean, ha

So the sandwich wins by a wide margin .. I thought it would be more 50/50

and my wife learned to distinguish a sandwich dial recently and wanted to get 'any' model with a simple but deep Sandwich dial.
