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

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:

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
