PAM232
Does anyone know if that reference came in two dial colours: black and brown?
50-50 split of production between the two colours? It seems like the black dialled one comes up more often for sale but I prefer the brown one (to spice the search up of course)...
The 232 came only in one dial color: tobacco brown
In non-direct light it looks almost black. Maybe that's where you think it came in a black dial.
Here's my 232, as you can see the dial doesn't look it in this light, but it is tobacco brown in reality.
Let me add that....
also the 40 pieces of 232OOR produced, have a tobacco dial. Just in case you'd find a particularly "clever" crook, that might want to peddle a fake 232OOR
