Every color of floral motif dial

The new palm motif dials are hot; it makes me a little surprised the floral motif dials are still so unloved. Here are all the colors I could find; I believe they were made roughly 2005-2018ish.

31mm floral motif dials (embossed):


36mm floral motif dials (laser-etched):

Those "flowers" are actually styled after gears from the watch movement.

I was told this by a saleslady at my former AD, who'd just returned from a seminar by Rolex.

Its because these are only women dials.

I wonder if she tells that to the female customers.

Too feminine for my taste, even as a gift for my wife.

I’m not sure the numerals improve them, but I think the 31mm models are actually quite attractive, distinctive ladies models.

Definitely difficult to read time, the palm dial looks much better IMO

The designs are supposed to be feminine, and I doubt that the saleslady ever ever shared that with any prospective customer, except maybe a gentleman shopping for a spouse or significant other.

I doubt that it would even come up the discussion with anyone.

She brought it up to me, because I was always dropping in to talk watches and to see what was in stock and she had just returned from the seminar and she knew I'd be interested in whatever information she'd learned, especially the literature.

So, we weren't even talking about any particular watch. She was just commenting on the contents of her book and the illustrations therein.
