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 o...

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.
