ROO 44 26400 dial color

I have an H series and the dial seems to be silver to kind of yellow hued at times, is this correct, watch has been to Clear Water recently, and nothing was said about dial being faded or anything, but form other photos, dial always appear white or silver. What are the colors of others dials.

The dial was definitely changed on the 44SS. I owned one fairly recently and noticed that the dial looked faded and the tappastire dial was not as prominent as the earlier models. Sold mine immediately and got the brighter more silvery dial. Here are some pics to illustrate.

I wouldn't say faded, just one is more of a cream color while the other is white-silver, not sure which I prefer but both look great IMO

The latest serial J have the faded or less brighter dials. The older H & I have the brighter dials.

When you say brighter, you mean Silver? I like the Silver-ish tone much better. So I would need to look at the H & I serials for this tone then?

Yes, silver. Just looks so much better in my opinion.
