I love the Tahitian MOP dials. As you can see by my avatar, I'm a big fan of Tahitian pearls.

Now you're getting picky

Bisquitlips · 1 February 2009, 12:20 PM

Black MOP! This is fairly "exotic".

Oops! I see Richard beat me to it. Black MOP and Tahitian MOP are the same thing.

pricojorge · 1 February 2009, 12:40 PM

It sure ain't diet soda! That DJ w/ the sodalite dial is gorgeous. Just wow. If that dial is available I think I want one.

Yume-sama · 1 February 2009, 03:05 PM

I dunno, the sodalite kind of looks like a cheap kitchen counter.

tjs3023 · 1 February 2009, 03:21 PM

No offense taken here, everyones' got their opinion. It's just blue is my favorite color and I just bought that same DJ w/ a silver jubilee diamond dial.

Here's one from my 1988 Bark President that I took off when I sold the watch.

Made from real wood and looked great on that DD.

terrible phone pic, but only one i have right now. but as wolfgang pointed out, heres a pic of the wood dial president with bark textured band.

Alcan · 1 February 2009, 09:53 PM

Rolex Goldust dials are pretty amazing, mother of pearl coated with 24k gold.

grumpy · 1 February 2009, 11:31 PM

It's not my watch or photo but I've had this one in my hands.

Onyx

2th Dr · 2 February 2009, 12:47 AM

Don't know if this qualifies for "exotic"... Just plain 'ol white MOP.

vh_bu98 · 2 February 2009, 01:21 AM

Is mother of pearl really exotic? I have mother of pearl buttons on my shirts.

In any case, here's a photo of the wife's Rolex. Black mother of pearl dial with Arabic numbers. It's hard to capture the full beauty of the dial since it changes colors in various light. You can see a tint of green in the photo.

Bisquitlips · 2 February 2009, 01:24 AM

I think MOP would be considered out of the ordinary, strikingly unusual or strange in effect or appearance. Yep, exotic for sure.
