Hey guys!
Hey guys! This is Eric from SwissWatch Expo, bringing you a segment of Fresh
From the Showroom Floor.
Today, we have three very very very special pieces, and hard to find, especially if you're
in the market for a rock dial.
What we have is a Tiger Eye rock dial, a Lapis Lazuli rock dial, as well as an Onyx.
So let's dive into them, get into each one.
Now, these keep in mind, are unique.
They're going to be one out of one - no one else will have these same exact dial as you,
especially if you pick one of these.
So let's jump into it, I'm gonna start with the Tiger Eye.
This used to be one of my favorite minerals as a kid.
It just has so many cool characteristics to it.
It looks like a reddish kind of brown hue to it, gives you a lot of earth tones, and
it looks absolutely amazing under sunlight.
Changes every time you look at it, and it has a nice sparkle - especially
if the sun hits it just right.
Gives you something different to look at, every time
you're looking at your watch - which is why we buy watches in the first place.
Just look at something and enjoy it.
So it looks great with a gold band to it, it
has a nice contrast.
Like I said, it's brownish to red, so it gives it a nice look.
Lapis Lazuli or just lapis - you may have heard the term royal blue, it's exactly where
it comes from.
This is actually the stone of the royalty.
Gives it a nice dark blue - very deep.
You don't see too many blue Rolex dials, so this timepiece is absolutely stunning, especially
if you have it on an 18 karat gold bracelet.
I've seen it on stainless steel as well, but personally everything looks better on 18 karat
gold.
It has a nice spotting to it as well.
So again, no one else will have the same exact dial combination as you.
Lapis Lazuli - it's very hard to find with Rolex, and there's really only a few in circulation
today.
And last but not least the Rolex onyx dial.
Now, this is different from the other two dials that we saw, because those are metamorphic
rocks, and this is quartz.
Which gives it a dark black hue.
Now, you can have a lighter onyx dial, or a very dark onyx dial.
This one is dark, and there aren't too many darker than this, and if you look at it it
has a very glossy smooth texture to it.
So it catches sunlight in all the right ways.
Now, you don't get this just in the Rolex Datejust.
This is a mineral - they've put this on the President, and there is a Submariner with
an onyx dial as well.
They're absolutely beautiful, and again one out of one you'll never see someone with the
same exact dial.
Now if you look at all of them together, what you will notice is that they have a glow to
them.
Now you may not be able to see in the video here, but if you have these timepieces in
direct sunlight with you, you'll notice that there's sparkles, and natural glows, and gleams,
that when the sunlight hits them, you kind of get a little sparkle.
Now each dial will have its unique glow and sparkle to it, and that's why people tend
to flock towards these.
Because you know a lot of people just have the regular black dial well as as a blue dial,
or maybe even a champagne, but not a lot of people will venture out into these Rock dials.
So I'm glad I got to show you guys these watches today.
0:04:21.710,0:04:27.230 They're very very cool check them out too,
there's also other dials that are rock form - there's meteorite, there's coral dials,
and then there's also a matte dial which is absolutely to die for.
I'm glad I got to show you guys these three, because to me these are actually one of my
favorites - blue, black and a tiger eye.
Can't beat it they're very different and there's something you don't see every day on a watch.
