Lack of guilloche main is not an indication

I don't know if it's hand done or not in PF's case, but there are plenty of hand guilloche dials that don't state guilloche main. Urban Jurgensen just says Swiss Made, for example. Roger Smith watches may say nothing at all. Kari's dial production facility Comblemine also makes dials for other brands and they may or may not indicate how the dial was made. The Gronefeld 1941 for example says Handcrafted regardless of whether using a standard dial or a Comblemine, since that refers to the whole watch. Sarpaneva uses Comblemine guilloche dials as well and they say nothing at all.
