In the Rolex / Omega World, They Call this "Chocolate"
In Response To: Re: Went To NAWCC Show 12/6/09 Found A Freak ? ()

good eye, Timothy.

in the world of vintage Rolexes and Omegas, they call this a "chocolate" dial, and they sell at a premium. We just call them "faded", and I expect that it will sell at a discount.

Sometimes, the world of vinatge watch collectors is the funniest place to be!
