Am looking for a lapis or turquoise dial myself.

Seems these exotic dials only come in 36mm. Havent seen one in 40mm.

Not a fan at all. I like markers on the dial so I can actually read the correct time at a glance. Having said that, it's really quite attractive.

I agree; It's cool because it's rare, I guess, but I wouldn't spend any money on something I don't like.

Wow, I'm obsessed with the malachite DDs and DJs, dream watch for me, for sure. I'm surprised so many people in this thread dislike them... but then again I would never wear any modern Rolex period, which seems like it's what most of the forum prefers. Different strokes!

Suddenly, grown men and women, can't tell the time without numbers.......really??

If this dial was on a new release that was suddenly discontinued, everyone would be ga-ga over it.

Generally love anything green, in this case, I'd rather see the malachite on a Lady's President watch.

What do you think? Would you like to see a modern Datejust or a Day Date with malachite spheres?
It's different but not something I would choose.
