A collector posted this one on Instagram. I had never seen a Ranchero with a textured dial like this- although I’m hardly an authority on the matter. Looks quite awsome IMO.

I haven't got a watch with a textured dial but my missus has a Tudor 1926 with it.
Longines have a great line up with textured dials.

I think this is a dial from the later gold plated second generation model

these textured omega dials are so darn hard to find, specially the seamasters and constellations... I mean even on ebay they are rarely available.. it's been 4 years that i've been on the lookout

They do come up for sale on eBay, but most of them are in poor condition or ridiculously overpriced. That being said, you really have to look every day and be ready to purchase quickly. I've found some good ones on eBay including these:

Exactly, they are either redialed, in poor condition, or priced like crazy , having said that, just for my curiosity and benchmarking, how much did those set you back? ballpark

From $700 to $1,100. Two of the three needed to be serviced and required pretty extensive work.

I haven't seen anywhere near that price range for waffle or any textured Omega dials, I don't mind being needed serviced as long as the parts are there, but man, all I can see are between 1500-2500

This thread needs a bump. Seamaster 2577 with black honeycomb dial.
