Day-Date dial question
Saw this DD dial on C24 - It looks a bit like a linen dial, a bit like a mosaic/shantung dial, but it’s not quite like either one. (Just when I thought I’d seen them all, … )
My instinct is that it’s just a linen dial, only slightly “more so.” (Although I believe it’s not just the camera angle and raking light enhancing the linen-y effect here, the pattern is different.) Anyone know anything about it - Name, when it was offered, etc.? Have you seen it before? . |

Looks like one of the several wood dials available

Looks Linen to me and somewhat overexposed from messing with the filters before posting

Looks linen to me, caught under odd lighting/shadows making the valleys look deeper?

Should be a linen dial. The light comes from the lower side, so the shadows seem to be longer than usual.
But it's true, the texture seems to be very special.

I wouldn't think twice just calling this a linen dial.
