POLL : Sandwich or painted
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 or even the new 372 ...It's not tha tI don't like the sadwich dial but I prefer painted. Probably if I would have 5 painted dials I would look for a sandwich if I bought a 6th Panerai

Just for the pleasure to be with you ...
And also because I don't like the sandwich dials when they are too pronounced. Best, Nicolas.
Sandwich

Painted for Tritium and Sandwich for Luminova.
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...

Sandwich, but...
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...

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