Incoming - Stone dial #2 (gulp)
My bank account shrieks for mercy!
Naturally, less than a week after buying the WG/lapis DD (shown in a recent thread), what pops up in my Google alerts but one of my True Grails - a YG DD with tiger eye stone dial. Doubtless indulgent, but ... these really don’t come around every day. It’s unfortunate that I can’t post video here, because a still photo can’t half convey what these look like IRL - The color flip (chatoyance) on them when they move, especially in sunlight, is something to see. Feeling poor but happy, . . |

Incoming - Stone dial #2 (gulp)
That is one of the better tiger eye dials I’ve seen. So many are darker overall.
Now I’m rethinking my future 1803...  I’d like it on a croc strap myself - just lighter overall. You see these come up more often on DJs in the market. Your Google crawler did a good job  Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
