WristScan

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.....  

.. nice collection there, Joe! From my humble HDD..... This pair popped up as my favorite color.... HAGWE! Ken ...  

.....I think if i was going to go for a single colour as favourite, it would be this.... .....the Rottweiler .... black and tan.... ...  

Among my favorites!

Mine is blue. In all shades and also in ladies watches. Best, Kari ...  

Beautiful pair of blue! :) Best Blomman

. . . 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...  

Rose gold and black is a wonderful combination! HAGWE Blomman

. . . both good separately; together - divine! :-)

Best, -- Richard.

. . . closed out that dial variation after '04, but agreed to make one more in '07 for yours truly. Best, Art

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.

Fantastic collection, my friend! Amazing diversity! :) HAGWE Blomman

Sometimes, colored dials... But divers in black ... And chronographs in white ... ...  

... the watches and colour range are beautiful and are an unexpected pairing. Thanks for the photo! Andrew

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.

Such a nice watch! GEO

. . . 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 is like breakfast and orange juice..... they just seem to go together

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 ...  

If I must endure seeing one more Rouge, I am going to scream! (With envy, that is.) Beautiful photos, as always, my friend. respo

Is really something for you, my friend! May I propose a trade...? My Red for yout lovely Patrimony...? Deal..?! ;) Best, my friend Blomman

The Rouge probably is for me, so I need to work on that. The Patrimony is not yet mine -- another problem I need to address. ;-) Best, respo

.....that you might have a choice

....not to see your salmon in here

No message body

......come on....lets see that salmon again!

Between Erotism and Pornography... Best, Nicolas ...  

as a keyword ;) :) HAGWE my friend

"..mais on y confond allegrement erotisme et gymnatique" or "...but where one confuses happily eroticism and gymnastic" Cheers my friend from Up Above! Francois

"..mais on y confond allegrement erotisme et gymnatique" or "...but where one confuses happily eroticism and gymnastic" Cheers my friend from Up Above! Francois

Burlesque ! ;) Best, my friend Blomman

I had to bite the lure...! ;) Best, my friend Blomman

No, that is just for show... To put you off track! ;) You know I have no tell... ...that you know of...! :) Best Blomman

GEO

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

Something to enjoy and make each day special...I love it! Best, -- Richard.

Thank you, Richard! Best, my friend 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) ...  

. . . is perfectly balanced against cobalt blue hands, markers, and indicator. One of the handsomest iterations, imho.

HAGWE Best Patrice ...  

... This proves that I don't take enough vacation ;-) Best Patrice

Blue? Brown? Cream? I still don't know... You see my problem? ;) HAGWE. Nicolas ...  

... 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!

Hace a great week end my dear friend and enjoy your "colors"!! Un fuerte abrazo, Abel.

I expected your stunning Breguet here!

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... 

Eveyone knows Vlad's favorite colour is Hell at 100 000 Kelvin ;-) Best, -- Richard. ...  

But I have a small idea on which one has taken your heart... Best, my friend. Nicolas

I was sure I would find a Salmon in your picture! (By the way, you must let me make you an espresso drink when you return to LA!) Best, CaliforniaJed

I took a cool picture of the Type XX Salmon dial this summer, and will post it later... Best, my friend. Nicolas

A very tough dial to take in picture, by the way... Best, Nicolas

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...  

........is missing from my collection....and i know it!

Saw the watch just once in the flesh. GEO

. . . of being one of the most poignant words in the English language ;-) . . .

One's a repost but I still like it. ...  

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

HAGWE fernando ...  

Here are a couple that I liked. To me, the colour and the design of the dial must match. Melvin ...  

That Reverso dial is superb! GEO

see JLC releasing something similar in near future. Melvin

One cool, one refined Watch. Well played, truly. Best, Nicolas

they happen to contrast each other :) Melvin

Would love to see a Moser Mayu in white metal with salmon dial. HAGWE guys, GEO ...  

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

gives it a vintage feel. Nice. Melvin

Blue This message has been edited by Iceman on 2013-10-25 00:09:20 Or this ...  

....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 ...  

It is your understated conservatism that most strikes me about you Great watches...and superb variation

Green...with envy! :)

this is my pride and joy.... Mo

you are and horological rainbow ;) Exquisite taste! Best D

MO

but rather spectacular! Thanks for bringing them out!

i really like the diversity in my collection... Mo

......now there is a problem!

Love early Dbs......class! 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...  

...  

Someday .... someday , I will do this amazing !

Tough one to make ..... So Tricolore it is ! No one makes it better ! HAGWE ! ...  

which color i like, however at the end i only like the original color plus patina dots... ...  

Just superb...i love this watch. Not sure you can describe its dial as just "silver" as it is so much more. Just lovely.

Great query! HAGWE!!! -- Richard. ...  

. . . both . . . . . . in one ;-) . . . ...  

... 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...  

And to allow me to take some photos! Super, my dear friend. Un abrazo! Nicolas

But "color" is a weak word, and can\'t convey texture, gloss, tint, rings, bevels, crystals, etc All my blues are titanium, strangely! Cazalea ...  

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... 

Having 3 white enamel dials with black romans, they make up the most common dial in my current collection. HAGWE all, Cheers, Tim ...  

Love it! Cheers, Tim

Blue!!!! HAGWE! CaliforniaJed ...  

Which I can easily understand... ;) Best, mon Cher Confrere. Nicolas

I have so much love to go around! :-) Best, CaliforniaJed

It s one of my favourites...... Indeed Mo

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 ...  

Have I ever mentioned, by the way, that Yastrzemski was my first favorite ball plater? Best, CaliforniaJed

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...  

Are they both the same color? (Ruby?) Best, CaliforniaJed

...(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.

.....yep, i have a similar issue...which is why perhaps I have created a lot of variation in my non-Rolex

That Paillonee is killer. Their best piece IMO. Cheers, Tim

....they don't call them Habring1. :-) :-) :-) Cheers, pplater.

Hard one to choose from. Sorry for the bad pic! Nice weekend to all. Cheers Francois from Down Under ...  

Indeed, on the list of timeless classics, keepers in any collection. Cheers Mo

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...  

Glossy black dials rank up there for me. Bill ...
