Also I think there is an option for the ceramic to not be polished shiny and to have more of a grainy textured finish.

The grainy texture is the standard finish of all their ceramic dials.Originally Posted by 893bet
Polished is something one has to pay extra for.
Thanks! That makes sense.
I am really liking forward to the delivery of my one. Seems 10-12 months is the typical wait time at this point. For me it makes no sense to go “cheap” by getting a printed dial personally. It’s a one off watch customised to your requirements and felt I would have regretted not getting exactly what I wanted.
Worth noting if you go with blue appliqués and blue hands…… the colour doesn’t match!
Would drive me crazy! See link below which shows images of this difference.

Yeah, they've grown a lot in popularity ever since watchfinder featured them in a video, so the wait is really long now. As far as I recall, they only produce around 150 watches a year.
I waited around... 9 months for mine I think.
I'm very happy I didn't go for the "standard" dial, even though that's good looking too. An engraved dial is just so much more special and good looking, and the amount of hand work going into those dials only seem fitting considering the movement.
Agreed about the markers - that would annoy me too. The hands are blued while the applied markers are lacquered, and while they match fairly well, it's not the same.
Does anyone have a copy of the current price list? I am curious about the price of a 99.4 in steel with the standard silver dial. The increase in demand has inevitably seen RRP creeping up steadily in recent years.

Thanks, Doc, I did not realise they have started to publish their prices online, this is a recent change
Yes, their customer service is very responsive.
I don’t agree. Light plays a major part as most of the time the hands and markers are very dark, near black. You need to the get the light just right for the blue to pop on the applied and that hands. If there is any difference I doubt you would see it data to day.
However, I think my post above (#8) shows that they match very well. Your eyes would have to be pretty damn better than mine to see any real noticeable difference in colour
The silvered brass looks very similar to the Lange 1815 family, especially given the overall appearance of the watch. I absolutely love these and at some point will order one. I have an 1815 Chrono and the very fine textured grain of the silvered dial has a wonderful softness in low light levels, which makes the dial so legible as well. So whilst I would be keen on the engraved silvered finish if it were my choice, I don't think you can make a bad decision as both options look great, and I may even be tempted by polished ceramic as it is a little different.
Yes very happy with it!
The only thing I would say is I had looked at a million macro of engraved dial and decided I wanted that “depth” to the dial. Under the naked eye it’s hardly noticeable however so a printed dial is def an option with out to much compromise if you are looking to save 1k!
Already eyeing another ….
I think the below combination from their Facebook is incredible.
