In the gold, I love the meteorite dial, followed by the classic champagne with stick markers.

Agree!

The only issue with the Champagne ("gold") dial is that there is not much contrast with the hands, so you have to angle it sometimes to see the time.

That said, I'd have it no other way.

what color is the dial? I know the sticks are gold. I don't see new ones that look like that.

Seems that, overall, Rose Gold is not really that popular, although I'm drawn to it myself.

pradeep · 4 August 2010, 05:14 PM

wow.. I didn't know the romans were so popular.. I like the white roman dial too. in this day and age.. why where anything too flashy? It just attracts the wrong attention!

It's an old pie pan dial with a fine linen texture. In bright sunshine it appears white, but out of the sun it appears to be a very light champagne gold. I can't decide if the dial has a light patina or maybe it's just all that gold reflecting back onto the dial.

Whatever it is, I can't stop looking at it. Whenever the light changes I have to check it again to see how it's going to react.
