Love it Bas, is the finish actually rough like it looks? I would think that would be a bear for you to clean it if it somehow became dirty.

Yes it's textured. It might actually be surprisingly easy to clean as it's solid platinum, not a paint/lacquer that stains.

Is there any other watch that has this dial? I think it fits the yachtmaster well.
