How beautiful can a printed dial be?
I've got into the habit of automatically assuming applied indices are preferable to printed. Lazy thinking is rarely a good idea, so please give me some examples to knock the complacency out of me.
Before you get going, I'm mystified why anyone would order a Dornbluth without choosing the applied indices option.
The watch that got me re/thinking this is Rick's LE Ebel, which has four applied indices and eight printed, without seeming to suffer

Oh yes. I didn't understand then, and I still don't understand. Their dial department speaks a language all of its own

Agree with Der Amf.
Trying to understand the terminology on some of their web pages can make your eyes glaze over.....

Those two watches make me wonder if there should be a thread entitled: Applied Roman Numerals: Can They Ever Work?
