Etienne, Here's one photo I just took--and which I also took the liberty of winding it forward 30 minutes or so to midnight--to wish all a Happy New Year! I came late to this thread, which I thoroughly enjoyed because I also like this model very much. The version I have is the grey dial model, with a white gold tang buckle and brown alligator strap. The dial was formally referred to as 'ruthenium' in 2004 (before this metal became, for a while, popularly used in the horological world) rather than 'grey'. As many commentators have mentioned a while ago when this watch was more in 'vogue', depending on the lighting condition, the dial varies from dark grey to light metallic grey. This watch was purchased in 2006/2007 new for literally quite a steal, and it has since been operating flawlessly without any major service. This said, I don't wear it enough--only from time to time.
