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!

first one is just sublime So back in good old GP camp? ;) Your D

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/... 

Is still with you! :) HAGWE Blomman

This Rasta Milgauss is really something! Best, Nicolas

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

current answer. A spectacular watch from Sweden. I just cannot get it off my wrist. Best to all, Tim ...  

The dial is just awesome! :) HAGWE Blomman

And fantastic lineup! :) You know my weakness for all those colors... HAGWE Blomman

Silver..... Or black. But my favorite color is....? Green...? Blue...? Blue....! Brown! :) HAGWE Blomman ...  

All are nice. The one with the circuit print is a funky one!

What a piece Yours D

.. as long, as it is black !! Indeed, all GPs also - you've pretty uploaded your reservoir ! ;) Best, hs

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

...  

SPEECHLESS!!! Wow! What a shot! HAGWE D

HAGWE, All. Nicolas ...  

....its like Superman

Tornek? :) ;) HAGWE my friend D

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

With some few blue exceptions... ;) Best, my dear Martin. Nicolas

Hi I have to say I find Blue dials really attractive. At their best they can be stunning and they also seem to be to be unexpected. Poljot alarm - fab blue dial Cheers JML ...  

To better know a not well known Watch would be very interesting! Best, Nicolas

actually the absence of colour :) and its symbolic opposite. Regards Edward ...  

it wasn't too technical ;) Regards Edward

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.

pedant is a synonym of....purist? :) I'm glad you chose to see it not as anal-retentive. ;) Thank you for your kind comment about my watches. HAGWE Regards Edward

i see this Lange 1 platinum of yours :) best regards -- Seeks

which one of these two watches I like better. The black Lange is superb but the more lively Patek Philippe not less. Have a great weekend, Fernando, Martin

Lovely way to celebrate 1000th

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. ...  

I think they're finally coming out with a nice pastel choice

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.

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 ...  

:) We would need 'Orangdial' to contribute as he has amazing images... this is the best I can do for now ;) excuse the bad quality! HAGWE, Sebastian ...  

A watch I love to have! GEO

Never saw a Royal Oak with such a dial before. Thank you for showing it! Have a great weekend, Martin

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 ...

... of the white dials and the shining deep colors that surround them on the JD. Ornaments like these are normally not my cup of tea on watches but this one looks great! Also like the red Habring² dial very much. Thank you for showing and have a great wee... 

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.

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

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.

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

My favourite dial colour? Hard to tell. When I started with watches I had a preference for black dials. Readability of white hands on a clean black dial is just unbeatable: Then I noticed that it got a little too monochromatic in my watch box. And even th...  

you are too kind. However the truth is that Baron gave me a lesson on how to take a shot of the Red in the opening post of this thread :-) Thank you anyway, my friend, Martin

.....and yes, I know exactly what you mean about the Reverso Rouge.

And instead of a lot of words it just took you the one picture at the start of this thread to express it all. Thank you very much for your kind words, Martin

"I just had to get it." - Well put my friend! I am catching the bug :P Best regards -- Seeks ps: What a shot of the RED - thanks!

It is hard to resist it in the metal. I had seen in in pictured before and was not sure what to think about it. Until I saw it in the real.......... Thank you and have a great weekend, Martin

That is a great question, and it depends upon the case metal. My choice is typically white, rather than the cream enamel Peter has used in his initial production Piccadilly watches. I have to say though that the WG case lends itself quite well to cream en...  

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 ...
