Sausage/Painted Dial Durability?

Used to be a sandwich guy, but now the sausage/painted dials are growing on me. Other than aesthetics, are there any cons for sausage/painted dials? For example, durability of the painted (vs. sandwich), lume, etc.

Also, are sausage/painted dials only on the base/lower models?

No cons.

Personally, I prefer the sausage for Luminors and sandwich for Rads, but YMMV.

I don't see any cons. I like both personally and on different models I like different dials. On the 560 I like the painted dial over the sandwich. On the 372 I like the sandwich. Both are awesome.

Most of the base models have the sausage dial...the dial should last longer than you and I since Luminova does not have an expiration time

The dial on my 232 (sandwich) and my 000 (sausage painted) are both far better than any other watch I own.
"Durability" is not typically a concern with a dial, but to answer the question, I think both should last a loooong time
