How were dials painted back in the day?
Before the days of robots and lasers, how did Rolex paint the dials with Trintium? I assume it was much like "Radium Girls" where the markers were hand painted with a super fine brush. If this was the case, would this explain why there are so much inconsistancy with how the dials age?
