Interesting to learn about how they paint the dials. You'd think it's an easy or minor job, but it's actually pretty intricate, from human craftsmanship to cutting edge techniques. Very cool, thanks for posting.

It made me appreciate the champagne dial more. It had many layers of color to get it just right apparently. Makes me want an American Psycho again.
