Tapestry or Tuxedo???

I picked this up today and I love it! I had always called this dial " Tuxedo " but now I've heard it referred to as " Tapestry ".

Not a big deal, but just wondered which was correct for this particular dial.

I know the newer "tuxedo" is completely different.

Thanks in advance!

PLEASE feel free to add your Tuxedo/Tapestry pics!! :-)

Hi;

I've always heard this one referred to as the tapestry dial. For a long time I was confused and thought of it as the linen dial, but that's something else again :)

I own the silver version (see attached photos). The correct term for your watch is Champaign Tapestry Dial. Congrats! My father owns the same watch.
