Can anyone explain this? lol

RTG · 30 March 2022, 09:18 PM

Wondering the same. They gave it its own page but zero mention about what the new dial is exactly.

Spurman · 30 March 2022, 09:23 PM

Looks strange. Issit meteriote? From another planet? Lol

jets · 30 March 2022, 09:27 PM

Fun fact; if it's cool I can just source a Falcon dial. It's probably a bit like the Tiger eye on old DD where there's like crazy perceived depth to the some parts of it.

alphadweller · 30 March 2022, 09:46 PM

I don't get it either. Not sure what happened there.

Starhutch · 30 March 2022, 09:47 PM

Definitely would appear to make the hands more legible

watchwatcher · 30 March 2022, 11:05 PM

Yeah...I'm not getting that either.

Maybe it looks better in the flesh? I sure hope so, 'cause the early pics I'm seeing are not promising.

harvey · 30 March 2022, 11:06 PM

…they’re using defective dials by giving them a fancy name.

PureCoconut · 30 March 2022, 11:07 PM

Stone dial. Gimme. Stop talking about it :-P

explodingtaco · 30 March 2022, 11:09 PM

Looks awesome to me. This may be my favorite rolex.

I guess it takes all kinds.

Tensai · 30 March 2022, 11:15 PM

I think it looks awful. Pass the Kool Aid.

Bigmozza · 30 March 2022, 11:44 PM

Looks terrible not for me

jsausley · 30 March 2022, 11:47 PM

What happened here was that some dial blanks at the Rolex factory were accidentally loaded into the machine that does the brushed finish on Oyster bracelets. Rolex didn't notice until they produced a few thousand brushed dials, so rather than stop production and slow everything down even more they threw some Yacht-Master printing on it and sold it as a new watch.

Indeed, either that or water damage

I am sure it's incredible in person!

As a YM42 owner I am not sure you could make its hands more legible. It is even easier to read than the current Polar EXP2.

Sounds like they are following the vintage dealers with that one…….

Jsc37 · 31 March 2022, 12:40 AM

I honestly thought there was something the matter with the picture when I first saw it. I even double checked my browser to make sure I wasn’t on a fake website. I don’t get it at all, looks like a printer with low ink. Never heard of the material.

bwdellorf76 · 31 March 2022, 12:43 AM

looks really bad....

Dividedpi · 31 March 2022, 01:11 AM

Funny some of the opinions in here. I absolutely love this watch. Easily my favorite of all the new releases, and probably one of my favorite Rolex models, period.

Rrpdc · 31 March 2022, 01:15 AM

Prob a rare stone dial.

I bet it would looks great in hand.

AbeFroman · 31 March 2022, 01:25 AM

It's a natural stone.

Makes sense. I wasn't sure about this either. I can take it or leave it but I'm sure it's amazing in person

aboutadog · 31 March 2022, 01:28 AM

It's a real falcon eye. Duh.

JRell · 31 March 2022, 01:29 AM

I really like it - I personally like it better than meteorite dials. For black dial lovers like me, this is that bridge.

TresCuervos · 31 March 2022, 01:31 AM

Whatever it is, it looks like fiberglass.

TswaneNguni · 31 March 2022, 01:33 AM
