Looking for watches with unique dials
As the title says, looking for watches with unique dials. Budget is around $2500, though I appreciate suggestions from any price range from $100 all the way to my cap of $2500.
Some examples of what I consider 'unique' -
Interesting textures - AnOrdain Model 1 Plum Fumé, pretty much any Seiko Presage or Grand Seiko, Citizen Silver Leaf Lacquer, Straum, etc.
Uncommon materials - Stone dials, mother of pearl, meteorite, urushi lacquer, etc.
Vibrant colours - Christopher Ward C60 Atoll
Unique design - Christopher Ward C1 Moonglow

Dufrane, Zelos, and a whole bunch of micros all do the various odd material dials.
Theres even some who take metal off old aircraft, racecars, etc and use them as a dial.

This may be up your alley.
Check out Atelier Wen, amazing guilloche dials
Xeric has some of the more interesting pieces out there.
NASA themed meteorite dial.
Regulator.
A dial that is the movement itself.
Various types of wandering hours.
And whatever the heck these are.

I've checked them out before, I'm not a fan of their price point for what I'm getting but cool watches nonetheless.

I reckon that might be a bit too unique for me lmfao
Oh yeah, I've been looking at purchasing one of their pieces for a while now, I think I'll be going for the 'A Perfectly Useless Morning'

For a price of not many $$$ and dials that are unique but not "too unique" check out all the Bulova Frank Lloyd Wright models. I have the Bulova 96A164. Dial looks like nothing else I've seen. I got mine for $135.
