Although the article claims only 3 wood types for the 5-digit Rolex dials (birch, mahogany, walnut), our own powerfunk and others have confirmed at least one more, madrone, was also specified in Rolex ads.
They also claim wood dials started in the 1960's. It's possible, but I always thought it was early 1970's.
