Frosting is fine with me -- I always felt it was a superior finish to stripes or perlage

A quote and image from SJX:
"A frosted finish is essentially gold-plated surface that has been given a finely grained texture.
Traditionally done with various harmful chemicals (a technique Roger Smith still employs),
it is today accomplished via inexpensive bead blasting, or in the case of the LM101 Frost,
with a wire brush applied by hand. The dial surface is decorated with frosting, with the bezel
and lugs mirror polished, a contrasting but complementary finish."
My "more accessible" watches:
Anything is better than this!
