I'm wondering, are we sure about this?
My Cal11 1133G is a contrasting dial (grey with black subs) but the contrast differences can vary on a scale from almost negligible to extreme.
ie. in some lights it can look pretty similar to the brochure cover in the above link.
Subs and main dial can match when they're either near black or light grey - bizarre I know!
The serial number on mine is 159042 ie relatively low (I also have a regular 1133B, 1614xx, and my Transitional 1133B is 158020)
The one over at Chronotrader is 158xxx.

Matt's G/G is 159405.
The finish on mine, and this is my main point, although obviously a different colour, is very, very similar to my blue Transitional model.
I wish I could back this up with some decent photos but they're so hard to shoot (especially with 2 x 2 year old boys desperate to get their hands on the camera and watches every time they're out :-))
