Mother of Pearl

[Armand]

i´m just now discussing the next Rolex for the Lady.

We have agreed, since she already owns a YG Ladies Model without date, on a Mid Size DJ ( 6 digit serial number ) in SS with Oyster band and waffeled WG Bezel.

Question is the dial.

She doesn´t like "bling", so the Diamond versions are "out".

:-(

( I would have LOVED the "Rolex" all over the dial with Diamonds )

Now we discovered, that the MOP ( Mother of pearl is nearly as expensive as the Diamond types.

Of course, MOP AND Diamonds beat all else ;-)

We were told that MOP is such expensive, because of this being so thin and such a lot of dials being broken at manufacture!?!

Is this BS? How are the MOP dials holding up? Colours degrading? Dials breaking?

Your suggestions and experiences, please.

Thanks, H
