Montreal Experts: Please Help Me List the Cal 12 Models.

Someone has pointed out that, on the Montreal Index Page, we say that there are six versions of the Cal 12 powered Montreal, and in fact there may be seven versions. The way I count them, we seem to have the following seven versions:

  1. black (PVD) case with black dial and black registers;

  2. stainless steel, blue dial with white registers, painted markers;

  3. stainless steel, blue dial with white registers, applied markers;

  4. stainless steel, black dial with black registers, painted markers (the "Beloff" Montreal);

  5. stainless steel, black dial with white registers, applied markers [not shown OnTheDash];
  6. stainless steel, white dial with black registers, applied markers; and

  7. gold-plated case with champagne dial and registers, applied markers.


Do we agree that these were the only seven versions of the Caliber 12 Montreal?

Was there a PVD version with white registers, or should any PVD Montreal be black-on-black?

Thanks,

Jeff
