Nice macros!
Is this dial the same for the Rose gold version? Just wondering. Thanks for sharing!
Some macro shots of the 5230G New York
The color of the dial is very different from the renderings. It\'s very deep almost black in most indoor lighting conditions. Very nicely done! ...
If it is yours, congratulations Allen :)
Anyway, thanks a lot for sharing those pictures and giving us a feedback about how the dial color looks like in the real. This looks like a fantastic version of the 5230G. Enjoy it well! Best, Mark

It's obviously still going above retail, but its value seems to have decreased quite a bit -- hence if you're interested, it might be a good time to buy. In fact, if you hurry up, it's lot 95 at this morning's Phillips auction in NY... ;-) Cheers.
Best photos Iโve seem of the NYC WT dial...
I bought this one in 2017 and it is beautiful. It was limited to 300 pieces and the dial is referred to as โArt Deco, dark blueโ. One reason it may not be as well know is it was only for the USA market so limited visibility for the rest of the world. I al...
