For me, my interest in a watch usually starts with the dial and radiates out: I have hands I like, cases I like, strap preferences etc, but its all about how they relate to the dial.

And in dials, what I really really like, is a sunburst dial: of my nine watches, seven have a definite sunburst. I love the play of light etc etc. When I look at, say, an ultra-matte diver, or some other watch for which the legibility of the lume is very important, I appreciate the workmanship, but its not tickling my watch-fancy.

However... I know there are other dial textures which also have allure: satin finishes that gently glisten, enamel dials with depth....but I don't know which they are, how to spot them from the photos and the descriptions....

Help me, please?
