What is the general opinion of the MOP. (Mother of Pearl)

Granted its more expensive and you wont get your money back when you sell but do you like the look of it??

Any pics??

I seen a yachtmaster on here which was MOP and really liked it!

Also seen a tt datejust black mop with diamond dial though it was very classy

Beecher · 12 December 2008, 01:31 AM

i love it on certain models. The black looks great on white gold DJ, and the white looks killer on almost anything yellow gold.

Atlanta · 12 December 2008, 01:43 AM

I like the look of it - the YM posyed here often looks great. I'm not sure I would buy for myself as my primary watch because it is very dressy and can be more difficult to read (compared to black). I think it crosses the line from sports watch to jewelry very quickly.

BigHat · 12 December 2008, 02:08 AM

I bought MOP for GFs watch, don't think I'd wear it in other than the darker grey shade.

billswim · 12 December 2008, 02:13 AM

They're a little flashy but a TT DJ MOP is on my list of watches to acquire as I dive for Abalone. I like the idea of part of a shell on my wrist. I won't wear it everyday but I'll probably trade it off with my DD as my dress watch.

kcmo · 12 December 2008, 02:14 AM

For me, it depends on the watch. I wore a Breitling with a white MOP dial for about two years and loved it; sold it later because the size was a bit small.

I contemplated a white MOP DJ but found the tone too iridescent for my liking - so opted for the classic white instead.

I prefer a subtle MOP....and white is my preference.

herfdude · 12 December 2008, 02:55 AM

My SS Daytona with a MOP and diamond dial.

I love the white MOP dials but I do not like the darker MOP dials (Tahitian MOP) as I find them almost impossible to read.

Never seen one like that before...

JJ Irani · 12 December 2008, 03:20 AM

Not a very big MOP fan....more for the ladies I feel; but if it's anything like this BLACK TAHITIAN MOP dial, then count me in!!

rpryan55 · 12 December 2008, 08:48 AM

I have the MOP dial with diamond and blue sapphire markers on a TT YM. It is both sporty and dressy at the same time and was my only watch at one time. I still love it.

spogehead · 12 December 2008, 09:06 AM

I'm not a fan on any watch, whether it be Rolex Breilting Omega etc

dopeymuppet · 12 December 2008, 09:33 AM

That YM is stunning though. Never seen one in the wild.

If you have to ask the price, then you can't afford it!!

Sorry, buddy.....no idea at all; but I do know it's a very expensive model, especially with that MOP dial.

haakon59 · 12 December 2008, 10:28 AM

MOP is not a look I particularly like, so I wouldn't buy it for myself. But if you like it, you should indulge yourself.

KJacques · 12 December 2008, 10:32 AM

I personally wouldn't wear it, because I think it looks more suitable on a ladies watch. And on a watch for a lady, I think it looks nice. Definitely not on a sports watch, tho.

ttannert · 12 December 2008, 10:43 AM

I love it!

Lubrifar · 12 December 2008, 10:50 AM

On custom knives, like inlays, cool.

Rolex dials ... umm ... no thanks.

CL65AMG · 12 December 2008, 11:13 AM

Love it...

mretzloff · 12 December 2008, 11:17 AM

If it's not white, I hate it.

moby33 · 12 December 2008, 11:20 AM

I'm not a big fan...but I will report that my wife fell in love w/ the black MOP on the TT YM. First, I learn I'm going to drop more $ than expected because she wants the TT over the SS, then she sees the black MOP and can't stop talking about it!

Next thing you know she's going to want to add diamonds...

Z-Sub · 12 December 2008, 11:27 AM

the white MOP is just beautiful.

My aunt just bought a 31mm DJ with MOP and diamond dial, beautiful.

Bisquitlips · 12 December 2008, 11:35 AM

I only have one thing to say....:

what3ver · 12 December 2008, 11:39 AM

I like the black MOP on the WG daytona.

Solo118 · 12 December 2008, 01:53 PM

Perhaps this will convert her. Time to break out the wallet and make it an easy transition for her.

Lucky for my wallet...we've decided it will be a dental school graduation present to her & she's only in year 2 of 4...so I've got some time. Cheers.
