just got the mother of pearl watch from "the ugly watch company" and im so excited to see it in person whenever it comes in! great video thank you for taking the time to make this.
I just love mop I have watches,knives and gun grips with it and in a variety of died colors I think the cost of having mop is the simple fact that it is extremely difficult to work with and there is a ton of waste in the process Thanks for sharing your research Always enjoy and appreciate your content my friend 👍
Bought an unbranded SKX 316L stainless steel homage with NH35, flat sapphire crystal, black ceramic 120-click uni-directional bezel with C3 lumed pip, and white MOP dial (with C3 lumed applied indices), from AliExpress. Along with an aftermarket "S" logo and NATO strap, the total cost out of pocket was US$68. Watch was regulated to within +2 seconds per day. This very low cost SKX mod gets a lot of compliments!
I bought white MOP Deep Blue Juggernaut 4 watch Swiss movement and I love the texture of it. I would love to keep that Tahitian MOP next to my watch for my collection for sure and thank you.
I think it’s beautiful. I have a JBW jet setter 3 Gold with 2 of the dials mother of pearl. I think it’s beautiful. !!!!!! I’d pay an extra 150/200 for the elegance and uniqueness !!!!
Dude Platin is cheaper in a bar than gold but tougher to work with so platinum watches are more expensive. Same goes with MOP. It's not the material price but the work that had to be put in.
You explained that better than any of the guitar making folks ever have. Gibson always likes to use REAL MOP on the Les Paul Customs, and not the fabled "Bursts". At least Y'all watch folks don't have to put up with paying a premium for celluloid Mother of Toilet Seat dials (Fretmarkers on guitars) like Gibson buyers do 🤣
I don't think your taking into account the labor involved in making the dial from the shell. Can you tell me where i can get " aaa rating Tahitian mop" 10 $ per shell sounds good . I will take 20 if good condition
I understand what you’re saying. I am taking into account the labor and mostly farmed clams. That being said…. Is the labor, done in most cases by machines, worth a 500-1000 mark up….?
Actually, I have a lot of understanding. Most things to include mother-of-pearl dials are machined with machines not by human hand. So if you want to explain to me the process, or something I missing, please feel free Because I’ve seen the process
I totally forgot I left that comment. Not a very nice comment by the way. Sorry about that, my apologies. Mother of pearl is a nice material for watch dials and needs to be as thin as the standard thickness of dials which is 0.4mm. It can certainly be thicker but you have to account for that when you fit it into the watch. You have to modify the movement and/or the movement holder.

I agree, when I saw how brittle it can be to work with, I can assume that you go through a lot just to get a little.

I have a white MOP dial Seiko and everyone loves this watch.
I have a thick m.o.p carved into a triple twist known as 'pikorua' in
new zealand .. so white but still
glistening and shiny !!!!
Yes but to have a flat mop dial must take alot of work - and it is gorgeous and unique!
Awesome... you're a genuine person...i love mother of pearl 🦪 greetings and Happy Eid Mubarak from Bangladesh 😊🎉❤
Yes, that shell is lovely. Put me in the hat!

Its beautiful!
Thanks!
I love MOP and really appreciated your video. I wish I could get a shell like you showed. Be well.
Dude Platin is cheaper in a bar than gold but tougher to work with so platinum watches are more expensive. Same goes with MOP. It's not the material price but the work that had to be put in.
But I admit that. There are several factors that play.
Almost forgot to thank you for your continued service as well Stay Safe
Always appreciated!
Love my DW MOP ❤
I love it
Great content 💯
Thanks!

Hay I would love get that one but you can't give it to me as I am in India😅thax for this information about the M O P
Anytime
I keep seeing it in guitar inlays
The trick is actually making the dial from the shell…that’s what you pay for. No other material except maybe meteorite gives you a one of a kind dial…
Take a shot every time this guy says Mother of Pearl.

@@allthingsrandom8137 where can i get those shells? I like to collect. Recently got a rolex mop dial Tahitian. Daytona. Love it
@@anggucci I got it off Etsy. Just search mother of Pearl shells
i get more compliments on my tahitian mop dial than the watch itself .
This guy has no clue what it takes to make a dial from this material that fits the inside of of a watch.
Actually, I have a lot of understanding. Most things to include mother-of-pearl dials are machined with machines not by human hand.

@@allthingsrandom8137 you should be🤣
