Lacquer was definitely an inspired choice for the P20 😁👌🏻👍🏻

Key Points from the Discussion

The lacquer dial successfully emulates the appearance of enamel, a challenging feat that Hentschel executed wonderfully, especially considering the company's size and order volume.
The P20's dial design choices are spot on, contributing significantly to its appeal as a dress watch and making it difficult to capture a 'bad' photo.
The reflections on the dial are particularly captivating, creating an effect akin to watching a sunrise.
