One of my favourite watches has Arabic numerals printed on, I just remembered. Ahem.

I'm not normally a fan of Roman numerals but that Ebel is lovely. Reminiscent of old pocket watch dials.

When you see that Ebel can get all 28 pieces of applied metal on the dial accurately, you wonder why some other companies can't even get the 1 and 2 of "12" level with one another

Yes it's nicely done, though I was referring to the chronograph with my comment.

Not perhaps technically "beautiful", but I really like this look and find it very well executed:

Yeah when I framed the question I wasn't really thinking of lumed dials (I would happily live in a lume-free world) but I guess printing is printing

On a dress watch I far prefer applied indexes. Markers, ideally, over any numerals.
Lumed divers aren't really printed.

On your Orion I believe the indices are pressed rather than applied. Presumably guarantees accuracy?
