A while back Steve (LOL-X) posted some pic's of his GV and he was saying how his dial looked more brown than black. Well I think I got one of the elusive brown dial Gauss's too.

What do you folks think, does this dial look like it was made by the Oompa Loompa's in Charlie's factory?

DSJ · 17 September 2008, 03:50 AM

I like it - the brown that is. It's different.

Parachrom · 17 September 2008, 04:14 AM

Yeah, I'm not so sure about the rare part either. The folks with the GV's should post some pic's so we can figure this one out.

Here is mine next to my black dial GMT....

Lisa · 17 September 2008, 09:15 AM

Wow, that's a pretty GMT, Robert.

On the Milgauss; if the crystal were taken off, would the dial look black?

SLS · 17 September 2008, 09:19 AM

They are all the same color dials, just depends on the lighting IMO.

Nice Watches!!

swatty · 17 September 2008, 09:27 AM

As Scott said, depends on the light and angle you are looking at it

Yup. I think your right Scott. In this pic it looks more black.

SLS · 17 September 2008, 09:47 AM

Pretty cool how the dial changes like that, it's like a poor man's MOP!

Pretty cool pic too!

Felly I love the colour of your dial in that last photograph with the GV on your wrist, that looks fantastic, amazing, incredible.

So if your chocolate can look like that, I'm hoping so can mine.

thecoinopcollector · 17 September 2008, 10:08 AM

Yep, been looking at mine. Seems to depend on the angle.

astcell · 17 September 2008, 10:25 AM

It is definitely not a solid black.

rob · 17 September 2008, 10:37 AM

Hershey or not that's one nice watch!

ttannert · 17 September 2008, 11:22 AM

Mine also looks a little on the brown side. I love the dial because it is a little different. It is hard to tell in this pic.

Steve, I'm sure if you turn yours at different angles like I did mine it will look more black. It seems to appear brown in direct sunlight and then more black-ish in indirect sunlight or shade. Just do what I did and take that sucker outside with a camera and photograph the heck out of it in all different lighting situations. Another thing is, you can't really tell what color it's gonna look like till you take the pic's off the card, put them on your hard drive and look at them on your monitor.

I had a blast today taking over 100 pic's of my GV!

astcell · 17 September 2008, 01:34 PM

The DSSD is not that black either, maybe because of the curved crystal?

I think the curve and color of the crystal play a big part in what color the dial looks like.

Z-Sub · 17 September 2008, 04:25 PM

Green colored crystal may play tricks on the color perception as well.
It would be nice if someone has the dial and take a picture outside of the watch so we can see the dial's real color.
