[Discussion] Thoughts on the printed dials. (alien.top)

Hello, I sometimes have conflicted feelings when I try to get a relatively expensive watch with a printed dial.

I think if I am spending this much money, I want to enjoy all the details and finishes that I can't see on cheaper watches. And, I want a watch dial that feels more "built" than "printed". So, I think I like raised or carved indexes and details on the dial. When I see a printed dial, I feel like it's not really "worth" the money.

What do you guys think? If it's the same price, do you prefer printed or raised/carved dials? Do you think watches with printed dials feel "worth" the money"?

I hear you and I agree. However there are exceptions, like the junghans max bill line. I have a chronoscope and it's one of my only watches without applies indices, but it would look silly with them so I appreciate the design choice. Their numbering is top notch
