My favourite dial is also quite plain... I just love how it looks. 1935 Philips (NZ) P516
And my favourite coloured dial. 1936 Airline 62-316. I just wish they'd thought harder about the shadow plate for the band indicator - its a round metal disc so half the band names are not (ever) illuminated.
And the most frustrating dial I've restored - a Courtenay model 95 DW. The dial was toast from UV or age, not sure which. I began recreating it by hand, pixel by pixel over a scan of what was left... and eventually taught myself some tricks along the way... 2 years later, I had a passable impersonation.
There are no personal problems that can't be overcome with the liberal application of high explosives
