I don't think that they use a lot of 'undesirable' pieces per se, DS - I think that it's more an issue of people having different preferences in mop characteristics. For instance, some would prefer a multicolored piece with a lot of flashes, while others might prefer a more toned down piece that looks less 'busy' and is easier to read. I have only seen one Rolex mop dial that was really a dud - that was the pink mop one that I saw on the weekend. I have also seen a few that are uneven - ie: 'busy' in one corner or side, but pretty flat on the other. Again, I don't mean to infer that Rolex is using undesirable pieces, just that mop is such a unique, one-of-a-kind substance that different characteristics appeal to different people. I love mop, I'm just not sure that it's the right choice for this watch (right now, anyways). Also, I'm not sure if I want to incur the additional $2500 for a mop dial. I do still adore the mop, though!!

Hi DF! I will definitely post wrist shots when I receive the watch, but it will be a bit of a wait. I ordered the watch yesterday (I decided on the silver diamond dial after all), but it will be a 6 - 8 week wait as it's a custom order. The waiting is now the hardest part!...
