Its 36mm 1999: Ref. 18238

It does not appear to me to have the banding of a ferrite dial. I know each is different but a quick search and none of them look similar.

I was thinking it could be bloodstone or a fossil dial. Thoughts?

Can't b bloodstone. This is bloodstone. Maybe granite? Looks like my counter top.



I blame it on the autoconnect.

I don't think it's fossil, the ones I've seen are lighter in color and have a different pattern to them.

Can you take better pics ? Some are saying adventuring but it's blue in the right light it's not fossil as that's beige with a distinct pattern. These dials often change colour in different light, does it look like any different of the pics in the thread in real life.
