I’ve heard some people question if the novelty of their dials wear off, but for me this is certainly not the case. Such a joy to wear each time.

I have a strong preference for simple dials in most of my collection - particularly two-handers. Speaking only about the dials and not the watches as a whole, the enamel dial Dumont might just be my favourite ...

Thank you, Yacomino! The OP grape dial wasn’t their most popular for some reason.

 
 By: hmd4m : October 21st, 2020-15:54
Based on its price relative to other dial colors. Maybe it was a little bit too out of the box a few years ago. But Rolex stuck with this design and successfully launched their new editions with super cool bold colored dials!!

Yes they did!
