You seem to have colors for each day of the week Joe
Feb 07, 2015,01:49 AM
I don't think I have a favorite, it depends on the watch and the style of the watch I'm looking for.
But I think I'll try to answer with my 5712 as it really looks very nice comparing to many dials I saw.
Have a great week end
Cheers, Mark

Wristscan 6-8 February - "Dial Colours"...whats your favourite?
By: Baron - Mr Red : February 5th, 2015-08:54
Dial colour..... it makes such a difference to a watch's appeal. It makes a difference to where one can wear a watch as well as how one can wear it. For instances where you want to stay under the radar, a diamond-speckled gold dial may not be the obvious ...

There may be a number of blue dials in the current GO Sixties and Seventies lines, but this blue PanoMaticLunar is from another world. Love it!

This GP was offered to me twice. First time, I pass and I regret. Weeks after, I could fix this mistake and I got this GP chronograph with this amazing state. Got it, and it's here to stay. Just this one. No more. I'm with my focus on the trio: Omega/JLC/...

Ah, the black/green Milgauss
By: stromer : February 6th, 2015-10:00
That is one of the few Rolex I could image on my wrist. It is so funny and different with the green rim of the sapphire and the "flashy" second hand. Have a great weekend, Martin
Great topic, Baron!

And fantastic lineup! :) You know my weakness for all those colors... HAGWE Blomman
Most of my watches are either .....
By: blomman Mr Blue : February 5th, 2015-13:09
Silver..... Or black. But my favorite color is....? Green...? Blue...? Blue....! Brown! :) HAGWE Blomman ...
An easy pick for me
By: stromer : February 6th, 2015-10:04
The blue one with the circuit (at least that is what I take it for) printed on the dial please. It takes something to paint an electronic circuit onto the dial of a mechanical watch :-) Have a great weekend, Martin

I would suspect that black plays a major role in your collection. But it is also your favourite dial colour? Have a great weekend, Martin
Blue is the colour

As someone once said, "A pedant is only someone who likes his facts to be correct..." :-) A very tidy pair of watches you have there: covers all of the bases very nicely. Cheers, pplater.
Isn't it nice that...

Salmon and brownish
By: Geo : February 5th, 2015-23:17
Salmon dials like the one of the Santos Dumont were for long my favourite choice, but I really like now this new beige dial by Rolex, what's called White Grape. The Rouge Reverso by JLC is amazing too. In general I find coloured dials very attractive. ...
That Rolex ist really nice
By: stromer : February 6th, 2015-10:14
Especially combined with the matching shirt. Relaxed and refined at the same time. Have a great weekend, Martin

...you are always full of surprises. They are, though, reliably tasteful surprises and that Rolex dial is no exception. Cheers, pplater.
A preference for white for certain
By: rnaden : February 5th, 2015-23:53
but this week, grey is also the "in" color for me. And may I state that that 5070P is stunning! I just love that dial and how it plays with its surrounding light! White is always my preference over any color. Grey has made its mark this week....let's see ...
Salmon of course!

An unexpected dial
By: stromer : February 6th, 2015-10:16
Never saw a Royal Oak with such a dial before. Thank you for showing it! Have a great weekend, Martin
Dials? Colour?...
By: pplater : February 6th, 2015-01:18
This particular watch is in the collection for its dial alone, and it is easily the most rich and colourful dial in the watchbox. It is indeed a favourite. It was terrific and timely to see two of its siblings feature in the marvellous GTG report which ...

A very thoughtful observation, Martin...
By: pplater : February 6th, 2015-22:28
Under the onslaught of the paillons and the enamel, people tend to forget the 'negative space' of the white dials. But for that, though, the watch would be very difficult to wear. Enjoy your weekend. Cheers, pplater.
Ah, that Habring color!
By: Gary G : February 6th, 2015-10:30
Spectacular! Hope you are enjoying both of those great Habring pieces, and that life continues to treat you well, my friend. All the best, Gary
You should get yourself one... ;-)
By: pplater : February 6th, 2015-22:31
Life here is tolerable, old son, thanks: how is it going in your part of the universe? Fancy that GF 24 seconds Vision? Cheers, pplater.
Great to hear from you
By: Gary G : February 12th, 2015-16:09
I'm of course a big fan of GF but the new Vision is not Greubel-y enough for me to consider sawing off the other arm to get one. Otherwise all continues apace on this end! Sending you a PM/email on a topic we've discussed previously... Best, Gary

A tricky question
