So We Will Call Them Both "Grey"
In Response To: Re: Seems to Confirm the Theory ()


Thanks for this response, Abel . . . very helpful.

For the moment, we can call them "grey" and "grey / black", rather than suggesting dark grey and light grey.

I have never seen the grey / black in the metal, but I understand what you are saying about the finish on the grey-on-grey Monaco; it is very rich / very sophisticated; more than most other chronographs, this dial seems to change colors / intensities, with different angles and lighting. [Shown below is the one from my collection.]

: Jeff,

: The grey dial with the black registers seems to be a little bit
: darker when closely compared to the dial which is completely
: grey. There also seems to be a kind of different
: "finish" between these to dials. I don't know how to
: explain...you just need to see it in the metal. I would describe
: the dial which is completely grey has a more refined finish,
: dial is very glossy compared to the one with the black
: registers...

: Maybe I'll be able to take some more shots in the week to come
: without the crystal...this will show us maybe some more
: details...

: Abel.
