Question about 2012 Panomaticlunar dial / date disc color
Hi Everyone. This is my first post on this forum.
The dial is a "warm silver" but came off as beige in the store. That was the first surprise. The date discs are pure white. This contrast is pretty noticeable, and completely different from the beauty shots posted by GO themselves. I even took the watch outside and took some pics (~3:30pm lighting). Less noticeable for sure, but it's there (see pictures below)
The watch is beautiful, but I have a couple of issues:
1) The warm silver comes across as beige. I fell in love with a white face in the beauty shots. Am I missing something...is there another dial face option I don't know about? Are my eyes fooling me because of the light? Or is this a case of GO manipulating the photography?
2) The color contrast with the date disc is just off (you can see this clearly with the indoor shots). It almost looks like an oversight by GO. I think it would be much better if there either was no difference in color, or just a big difference in colors (e.g. black and white, or white and dark blue, etc). As it stands, the difference is just enough to look off and not enough to look striking.
Any owners or fans of the 2012 PanomaticLunar have thoughts on this? I'm actually quite bummed after seeing the watch and am questioning whether to buy.
Thanks.

Question about 2012 Panomaticlunar dial / date disc color
Hi Everyone. This is my first post on this forum. I've been coveting the new 2012 Glashutte Original PanomaticLunar (SS with Silver face, blue hands, black strap) after a long search and was excited to finally see it in person at an AD, ready to pull the ...
Kong took an indoor photo recently . . .
. . . of a rose gold model. There is a difference between the color of the dial and the date disc background. The materials used respectively are inherently different. Whether the effect produced is objectionable or not would be a matter of personal judge...
obviously its all subjective to the wearer, but.....
that watch looks stunning, absolutely beautiful, and I love the cream/ivory colour on the dial, it gives it a warmth.... I realise your point that its not what you were expecting but..... I love it....
Thanks for the thoughts
It is a REALLY beautiful watch. I'm going back to the AD this weekend to take another look at the watch, hopefully under different light conditions. I haven't been able to stop thinking about the watch since I saw it last weekend...I think that's saying s...
I was in the same boat
Hey Watch Seeker, I understand your beef with the "off-color" of the dial of the PanoMaticLunar (PML). I was in the exact same position as you: I initially did a ton of research on various watches online and fell in love with this watch based on the photo...
That's what I call an encomium . . .
. . . and a half! In all seriousness, your reported overall timing results are exceptional. My first G O was similarly well adjusted, gaining a mere fraction of a second per day over an 18 week period, but a second per month ?! You've hit the proverbial j...
Qualifying statement
No joke, I am astounded by the current precision of my PML! I should, however, further elaborate on my previous post. Upon reflection, a more accurate statement would be that the watch has gained only about 2 seconds over a period of 5 weeks--rather than ...
click on the "site map" link
Click on the "sitemap" link in the very top navigation on the page. It will show a bunch of links, some I suspect aren't in the normal navigation. Scroll down near the bottom to find the FAQs.
ah...a kindred spirit
Hey Cubancigar, Thanks for the post. Sounds like we're really on the same wavelength...you basically just regurgitated my experience over the past 2 months. The changing colors of the dial face in different lighting is interesting...as if the "warm silver...
I know exactly what you mean about the different
dial appearances based on lighting. I have a white metal panomatic lunar XL discontinued model, which I did buy online, and I thought I was getting a watch with a white dial based on the pictures, although the description did say the dial was silver. The ...
