Do you have a favourite colour dial or just a favourite style of dial? Or do you like variation in order to spice it up? So, for this week's Wristscan, lets see your favourite dial...be it skeleton, a specific colour, something exotic, something unusual.....
. . . when it comes to dials, but there's one color combination that really sets my heart aflutter: black and rose gold. Silver and black dialed Karree perpetual with rose gold hands and markers . . . . . . complementing the rose gold case, and Black Conn...
Lovely piece Art. I really don't get it with these limited editions and close-outs. Far better for the consumer for pieces to always be in production, but controlled by limiting the Nr made per annum. Best! -- Richard.
I must go with Art :) As much as I try I can't escape his grasp I'm c(l)ueless how and why this is happening :) but again I prefer same as him Black & Rose gold.... mysterious allure for me..... closest second as you can have is enamel dial with red a...
. . . of Black Connie that more accurately reflects . . . . . . the rose gold dial furniture, and incidentally, also captures the color of the strap. This photo was taken in early January, so the sun was on the horizon and the sun's light optimal. (Almost...
. . . engraved black dials are fairly rare, and fitted with rose gold hands and markers scarcer still, but they're not impossible to source. A few have been posted over the years on the Omega forum.
. . . and white gold hands and markers, I also have a '56 Longines Conquest . . . . . . with their version of arrowheads. My preference is for Omega's interpretation. Thanks for the kind words, Geo. Best, Art ...
It all depend on the watch... White... Grey... Grey-brown... Brown... Black... Sometime you are lucky and the same watch has more than one colour... And sometimes your unlucky and need to get the same watch in several colours...! HAGWE Blomman ...

Fine array, Blomman , with some friendly envy, as well ! Was also specifically intrigued with your 3, ahem 4 Reversos - Your definitions of " lucky" and " unlucky" are pure euphemism !! Did not know, you as well had the Reverso Duo ! ( like the almost pur...
Good to hear from you, my friend! :) Thank you! Yes, started to look more into Reverso again... Who knows... Maybe that will be my next "Never ending story"...?! ;) All the best for the weekend to you and R ! Blomman
Dial to match my B777? (Sorry for the lousy phone pic) Tomorrow i post the dial that's waiting for me at home. A wonderful weekend to all, Nilo (I'm going home today) ...
... Take one or two and reduce your dilemma? Great watches my dear Nicolas! You know one of them keeps haunting me since long time ago! Un abrazo afectuoso! And have a great week end! Abel, desde las lejanas Pampas!
I guess , many people would like to have your "problem" of choice: Always like the pic with that magnificent world time and the banknotes as a backdrop, smiled of course at the coffeshot, and the ruggedness with the remarkable UN on pic1.. - but also appr...
What a watch box!!! That is such a nice collection of watches, not to mention the array of dial colors. I have no chance of deciding on a favorite color. Here are two colors I adore, however: Photo courtesy of WHL, VC Moderator The colors are a bit washed...
Their galvanic blue dial is superb! The two types of surface finishing make for a fabulous dial. Circular grained on the outer chapter and the vertical straight grained in the center. But then I'm rather partial to this watch! Cheers, Tim
But you know my preference, when it comes to Cartier watches... This long platinum thing, with its white dial and red accents... ;) Best, my friend. Nicolas
....yes.....i didn't catch that well in my box shot.... but I actually find it one of (if not) my favourite specific dials because of the range of variation of blues that it displays...the Mona Lisa Dial!
When it comes to dials...look! Silver... grained... black... red.... blue... and...no dial at all..... Great thread on the most attractive aspects of our beloved tic-tacs..... Mo ...
By the way I like your blue dial chrono on the bottom right hand corner Joe ;) I think that I don't have a favorite color. The dial must be attractive, as a whole. Thus, not only the color is important, but the design, hands' shape etc ... However, if I h...
... week W/S! I guess I can say black is my favorite color for dials, as good part of my collection got dials in this particular color. Anyway, I also find blue very interesting and attractive, specially the deep blue dial of my Rolex Submariner 16613, wh...
It seems is a colour that many seem to like. I have a couple of blue dials and what I like about them is the manner in which they can take on a different appearance. Different shades. Different moods. Yes, texture is crucial and a good point to make. Some...
My favorite color is probably salmon, but white a close second. Of all of the dials I own, the acid etched silver dial on the Vincent Calabrese Baladin is my favorite. Go Sox, Ginger ...
Performing a quick audit of the watchbox for the answer to your question, it was a little surprising to find that the most common dial colour was black - by quite a margin. These two watches, though, were bought very specifically for the colour of their d...
...(the chrono) was a show LE; the flyback was an attempt to re-create it. The 'bleed' was considered a defect - go figure! Glad you appreciate them. Cheers, pplater.
Not easy, as I do not own enough colored dials, yet alas.. 1/ definitely one always is black, especially if the layout of indices and markings contributes to the contrast, and supplements the character of the piece, such as in the DSA. Flowers & two appea...
