David, very nice! Is that a Z series with an engraved rehaut? If so, it's the first Z series that I've seen with CRB!

[QUOTE=BuffaloRolex;476813]I don't believe that the lighter shade was a permanent change. I've seen a light Z series, and I now own an M series with the dark blue dial. There may habe been some variances in the manufacturing process...

That could be or.. Maybe they changed the color, got enough feedback asking them to change it back and they decided it was a mistake so they did?

I don't believe there is any fluctuation in their manufacturing processes. Common, these people are Swiss! They have their system down to such exacts that they know if one of their factory workers fart, the temp in the plant goes up 1/100th of degree and they modulate it by turning up the recycler fan! No, I can't believe they just ordered the wrong color on both the dial and bezel. This was a decision and then they changed their minds back. My story and I'm sticking to it.
