I can only think of about 5 makers of aventurine dials.

Lange Copper blue thin
Moser Endeavour Perpetual Moon
Christoper Ward 1 Moonphase
Audemars Piguet 11:59 perpetual calendar
Omega Speedmaster Moonphase

The C.Ward is the most affordable. Wonder how it looks in real life

The Patek Celestial does not have an aventurine dial.
And even though that Pindu watch advertises it as aventurine dial, it appears to just be painted.

Lundis Bleus makes the best for the money in my opinion.

I don't think you can classify this as a fake since there is no branding.

I disagree, when the design is identical to another watch, I think it can be called a fake.
Futhermore there is blurred out writing at the bottom of the dial.

Have you seen the Lundis Bleu mentioned above? An array of color choices and a downright bargain.

I own the CW. It is fine, but somehow doesn’t inspire.
