In the beginning I was the same...
I also thought exotic coloured dials were left for fashion models, but I think if anything, with the increased popularity of green dials in the last year, as well as more recently turquoise dials on "standard cases", dial colours are becoming another way of differentiation and appreciation of a timepiece. I think what has been done with your Offshore is brilliant and maybe we will see other models soon 
Maybe we will all get every colour of the spectrum?
Cheers

Cracking the CODE...
Continuing my journey with CODE 11.59 and with a little inspiration from a combination of Lunar New Year, Valentine\'s Day, and some fine Bordeaux... Over some period of time, I\'ve been looking at getting some kind of Red dial variant - and lo and behold...
Many thanks for your note...
Good point on the date window - it would be extremely nice to have a model with a clean dial. There must be a lot more work and effort from the manufacture to add this feature. Now with a few watches with the same superlative feature it does become a litt...
I think AP Chronographs are really special...
And the CODE received the new in-house Chronograph movement. Just a beauty along multiple dimensions. Cheers Peter
The burgundy dial Code is such a great looking watch.
I do enjoy mine a lot and it is amongst the most positively commented watches in my collection. Very nice strap btw. Here a picture of mine on the original red strap. ...
I now remember your incredible photos!
You have clearly done a much better job capturing the essence of the dial Mind sharing your photo setup? In any case, very very happy with this piece. Looking forward to sharing future experiences! Peter
For the photo setup I have the basics...
...such as a light tent,tripod,macro lens and adjustable neutral light sources (6500 k temperature). The final touch is however in the manipulation of photo editing programs which admitedly are not always intuitive and need some time to learn.
Thanks for the expertise
Will look to see how I can improve it on my end...for now it's just iPhone 13 Cheers Peter
I really like the code
Been in love with it from day 1, even when people were saying it looked like a Daniel Wellington. They have not seen the sensuous lugs, the hidden octagonal shape, the domed crystal, and the heft of the gold piece. This is stealth wealth. I kept a budget ...
Thanks for the note - I like the phrase "stealth wealth"
I admire your passion and curiosity - I requested it sight unseen from the AD and then holding it in person was another experience altogether. I hope you get a chance to see one and get one in person - perhaps when travel opens up in the near future. I su...
Thanks Peter
I hope so too. I’ve been holding back purchases for a few months now. After being in this hobby for a decade, I have an eye for the sleepers, and the Code is monumental. It is hidden from plain sight but gives immense satisfaction to the jaded hobbyists l...
Thank you much..
I think they have done a wonderful job with the smoked dials - I had previously considered a blue one but perhaps with the preponderance of traditional black, blue, grey dial models in my collection - this was my first foray into more exotic dials. And as...
Amazing!
That is a beautiful dial! Im not that big of a fan of red dials but this is just a marvelous dial! Amazing piece mate, wear it in good health!

Absolutely in agreement
I too believe that expanding the colour spectrum would be very much fitting. Though somewhat controversial, I do adore the Diver line with all its funky colours. Going bold is a great way to infuse more life and hype around the brand and its time pieces. ...
Congratulations!
I always liked The Code, in spite of many contrary opinions when it was first released. It is a well designed, contamporary and, why not, cool! Wear it that beauty in the best of healh! Radu
Thanks - while I didn't like the photos in the beginning..
I was definitely impressed in person. I find that it takes a person with a higher level of creativity, interpretation, and imagination to be able to translate 2D to real-life - kudos to you for having this skill! I think I passed on multiple models in pic...
Very appropriate choice for the day!
It is a striking dial. With you and M4 banging away, how long before I crack the CODE?? I suspect this year, for sure
Beware..the CODE has powers few can control...
This is an old quote I recall from P.com days - with the Panerai Base - and the feeling I get wearing this CODE is reminiscent of those memorable and passionate days wearing the good ole tuna can. I look forward to your future CODE too Cheers Peter
