Over the years I have found myself more and more wearing brown dialed Rolex sport models on straps. Does anybody else like brown or distressed,faded, etc brown dialed watches on straps?

whiskyguy · 1 October 2010, 05:38 AM

Just not a Rolex!

I have an old cheap emporio armani quartz tank on brown leather...it's a nice watch for what it is.

Daddybear · 1 October 2010, 05:49 AM

You mean like this one.

Zhanger · 1 October 2010, 07:10 AM

Usually don't like brown dials, but this one looks very good.

If I ever sell it I will let you know!!!

I got it a month ago and it's now my everyday watch. I absolutely love it.

I love the Root Beer but who doesn't.

Daddybear · 1 October 2010, 07:22 AM

Oh....I didn't mean to imply I had the cash for one sitting on my desk...

It's on my wish list though..

But a PM on the matter if you do decide to part with her would be looked upon favorably sir.

I said before that a nipple indicied brown beauty would be my first step towards the inevitable vintage spiral...

You can buy any new watch you want...but a brown one? Well...that takes a more careful search...

P.s. That bad boy is SCREAMING for a dark brown distressed leather strap...

I really like espresso-esque dials, such as the ones found on certain Omega Speedmaster Professionals and the faded dials of some older IWC pilot watches.

BarkMaster · 1 October 2010, 08:55 AM

I'd like this brown dial:

Gotta love a good chocolate dial.

GradyPhilpott · 1 October 2010, 09:29 AM

I've never given it much thought, but it appears that brown goes well with yellow gold.

There's not much of a chance that I'll ever need to consider it further.

matt.wu · 1 October 2010, 09:41 AM

My Milgauss dial actually looks brownish in some light... especially next to a glossy black dial of a Sub or Sea-Dweller.

ParisDakarBmw · 1 October 2010, 09:44 AM

I like the black watches that have faded to a dark brown, but still don't know if I could wear rootbeer. I don't wear much brown clothing

Singslinger · 1 October 2010, 10:14 AM

There's a brown dial Omega Speedmaster Pro in current production, as well as a Breitling Superocean Heritage. Both are gorgeous watches.

But that brown GMT beats the lot!!

Jason71 · 1 October 2010, 10:19 AM

I really like this dial because it is unusual. I didn't even know Rolex made a wooden dial, but here it is...........completely authentic.

Very Nice! Who doesn't love a DRSD ???

sakuraba · 1 October 2010, 12:03 PM

I used to lust over rootbeers until I owned one.

I still think they're great, but not on me.

Danand · 1 October 2010, 01:54 PM

Can't afford one but I think brown faced yellow gold on leather strap is a stunning look.

Time Collector · 1 October 2010, 03:47 PM

I know its not a rolex, but I really do like a brown dial too.
