Do you love textured dial? Show yours in the comments; would love to see them!
Any love for textured dial. I am definitely a sucker for textured dial. It adds dimensional visual to the dial which we happen to appreciate and look at in our watches.
This Seiko Presage SPRE11J1 nickname Irish Coffee is nicely done especially for its price point. It would be perfect if there is no date window on this variation.
2019 is where I truly started my horology journey on a more serious note and coincidentally added 2 textured dial watches. The first being the Reverso Tribute Moon which happens to have a frosted textured dial too.

My journey begins from finding the perfect wedding watch. Love what dressier time pieces has to offer. Favourite Brands: JLC, VC, Longines and ALS. Instagram: ars3nal02

Yep I love a textured dial.
Or anything really that adds dimension to a dial.
I don't care for huge amounts of texture, my baby snowflake probably has the most lumpiness I can live with 😄
Vintage style.
yes, that's one of the things that attracted me in the CW Sealander (ombré effect normally not as noticeable as shown in pic below though, in very bright daylight):
I only have a few…

When the sun hits the new panda version of the Lunar Pilot, it looks as if you’re heading into the dark side of the moon.
Got this last week. Seiko roasted tea presage. SRPF43
Seiko King Samurai Dark Manta Ray.

Here’s one of my textured dials.
There you go, mate. The SARX055.
I hope you're not expecting to see many more brands apart from SEIKO (and subsidiaries) when it comes to structured dials.

Check out the JDM SBTR line.
I myself ordered an SBTR026. Find that one outside of Japan or a similiar looking model.
Brilliant thank you I will!

Beautiful watches. Somehow I wish manufacturers can use similar colour tone date disk to the dial.
That's nuts.. congrats man. Most people haven't even seen one in real life. Did you have a choice of color?
I ordered Black and Titanium for some contrast. The Titanium’s won’t be out until the fall. My AD is supposedly one of the largest volume dealers in the US and I’m a pretty big customer across their brands. Probably why mine arrived first. Having said that, they are showing up now and should be available in the next few months. I’ve held the three steel versions and all three are beautiful.
That is a cool watch
That is a cool watch
It is kinda of unique at least to me. Fumé textured brown dial. I am also a coffee lover.

Was going to say titanium looks good. Post some pics of both when you get it! I heard that IWC allocated it straight to vip customers and was a boutique only thing, but I guess that's not true.

Yeah it’s beautiful

Thanks! 🙏
I will go as far as one of the best dial at retail below $500.

I think it is true.
This SEIKO Prospex Alpinist Ginza 140th Anniversary Edition SPB259J1 is simply gorgeous!
Judging from photos, this is my favorite watch. Never seen one in person. I'm glad you were able to get one. But almost any Seiko dial, from a 5 to a Credor, is usually magnificent. How do they do it?
Is Seiko & Orient comes from same factory???
And they Seiko Epson branding, is that the same Epson who makes printers??

Roasted Tea? Would make a good sibling to my Matcha Tea Presage, but doesn't tug at my heart strings quite as strongly.
Also, nothing makes textured dials pop quite like the most ridiculously effective AR coated crystal I've ever seen in person:
The crystal is very nearly invisible in most lighting conditions.
