Spider Dials: Limited to certain models and time frames?

[Nicholas D.]

Were the imperfected glossy dials released only for certain models during a certain time frame?

I read an article that seemed to attribute the spider dials specifically to certain 80’s releases, notably the Sub.

Yet, I recently noticed a dealer who is advertising a 14060, circa 1997, with a spider dial. This contradicts what I read, in terms of release year.

I’m interested in the watch, but the contradiction made me raise an eyebrow.

Which models can result with spider dials, and, more importantly, specifically in what years were they released?

All info appreciated.
