Today, the 18078 with a burl wood dial is incredibly rare and highly sought after by vintage collectors. Because wood dials are organic, they are highly susceptible to moisture damage, cracking, or fading if the case integrity was ever compromised. Finding one where the dial is pristine, the wood hasn't warped, and the bark finish on both the bezel and bracelet remains sharp and unpolished is an exceptional rarity.
