5 digit Day Date wood dials with factory diamonds?

[southtexas]

Does anyone recall a thread here with examples of wood dials with factory diamonds set? I swore I’ve seen a thread, but I’ve searched around and can’t find much of anything to compare. Thanks in advance.

Iirc, I’ve only seen them with string diamonds on OQ DDs

If you mean wood/diamond, I don’t think I’ve seen any wood/diamond DD dials in white gold, whether OQ or otherwise.

Seller is reputable, and claims that the (non-OQ) diamond dial 18038 in #6 above is a “factory wood diamond dial” (I’d guess it’s madrone burl), but I don’t recall ever seeing any others like it. Maybe David/crowncollection (or CTech, or one of the other more knowledgeable DD folks) can tell us whether it is indeed a factory original?

Here are a couple of other wood/string diamond DD dial styles (both again OQs), one a single-string and one with two-tone wood.

Clay, I think that is a customized dial where someone added those diamond hour markers.

Despite the camera not being 100% "on axis" with the hour/minute hands (as seen by the off-center displacement of the cyclops and the date aperture) the diamond markers are not centered between the minute track gilt hash on the chapter ring.

Great catch, I believe your correct. The centering of the diamond markers seem to be off. It is what it is. Ha
