Tapestry Dial Returns (Sort of) DD 40

Did anyone notice the subtle quadrant-based Tapestry pattern on the dial of the WG version? That is what I am most excited about...the old Tapestry dial was always my favorite. The new movement looks great too...finally a 3-day power reserve:)

Didn't even notice that - nice eye.

I do like the more retro looking roman numerals.

I really don't like those Romans, esp the 10 is very awkward looking. And on the chocolate dial I think they are diamond markers.

They are also showing a dial in the DD40 even closer to the old tapestry. The DD40 is driving me crazy
