IWC has tried it also
with their St. Exupery line of pilot watches, and AP has done it with a new dial choice on their 39mm RO Chronograph. I personally think the brown dialed watches are really interesting and quite attractive, on all of the VCs I've seen with it and IWCs really compliment the watches design elements nicely. The AP RO with brown dial is however one watch I could live without.
Best regards,

I'm trying to imagine a chocolate dial on a Patrimony Contemporaine. I don't think I would like that look at all. Breaking up the color with subdials and printing seems to make it work. Bill
thanks Bill. I'm also fond of RG case with chocolate colored dials but unfortunately it

Thanks for the photos, Bill! I think pink gold and chocolate dials go together like peanut butter 'n' jelly, Bogey and Bacall, and...well, you get my drift! The chocolate and white metal pairing is not as desirable to me, but still nice. I think brown dia...

Thanks Bill, the brown dials really do come out special on the
V&C's and the RG Overseas is one of my all time favorites, what a piece of real estate--you could put a mailbox on that watch! Thanks for the look and let's keep our fingers crossed for the next brown dial to grace our wrist. Best to all, Tim
