lighting conditions. Perhaps you are correct!

: Hi Steve,
: Daft question.. but are you certain it's silver around the edge,
: I've had a good look at mine & it's black, but it does have
: a reflective quality that makes it look deceptively like silver
: in certain light. I have exactly the same watch as you, so I
: would really appreciate it if you could have a good look under a
: loupe in different light conditions. It looks black to me with a
: sheen, just like mine, and like all the other photos I've seen.

: Basically I'm going to do a minor restoration job on mine, it looks
: like someone in the past (a long time ago judging by the grime
: on it) replaced the glass with an incorrect acrylic and added a
: silver 'chaper ring' to raise the height of the acrylic to look
: like an older Autavia model. I don't have my proper camera
: equipment with me, so I used a loupe held in front of my
: terrible camera phone...

: My silver 11630, with incorrect glass & added beveled silver
: ring...
