For all of those who say the new, sunburst 116613 dial doesn't match its bezel...

It all depends on the lighting. This picture is outside on a cloudy, Florida afternoon.

Yes, it is a very dynamic dial. I almost picked the smurf dial instead, but am really liking the character and liveliness of the sunburst one.

Indoors it matches up pretty nicely and outdoors in the sun... well then I don't know as never really looked at the bezel!

I don't think the current sunburst dial or the original first gen bluesy matched up to its bezel perfectly either. But that never slowed me up - or thousands of other owners for that matter. They're beauties all the same.
