5 digit Day Date wood dials with factory diamonds?
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.

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. . |

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. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

There are some strange factory diamond dials that have surprisingly bad alignment or mounting technique especially the earlier ones.

Does anyone know whether these specific smallish batons used on regular wood DD dials have two feet or just one?
