Marble Dial?

Being a younger novice watch collector there all lots of older models I’m not very familiar with or haven’t even seen much. Wondering if any users here own any? Would love to see pics. When I’m on chrono I never see many available and the sizes and bezel seem to fluctuate a bit. Would love to see some pics here and maybe someone can tell me a few fun facts. One thing I’m curious about is the last year it would have been released and what’s the biggest size it has come in. Seems to be mainly 36mm? I could see myself adding this to the collection one day...but not sure is 36mm is wearable for me. Thanks

I’m not an owner but we’ve had lists of great looking exotic dials seen on Day Dates.

When considering any exotic dial material, be sure you are seeing an original dial and not an aftermarket custom dial. Also study which models were originally offered with that dial to help sort out any mismatched, RE-dialed watch.

I’m sure you’ve googled it, but these stone dials are quite unique so they vary widely in visual appeal.

Only 36mm afaik. It's technically howlite, not marble. I think 36mm is wearable for anyone!

Thank you. This is more like a bucket list watch. I don’t see myself getting one for a while and in that time I would love to learn more about watches in general. Appreciate the advice
