I truly had my heart set on gray thinking it would be easier to wear with any color but wasn't sure if I can pass on the opportunity in front of me. I went to the boutique thinking I was going to hold strong and wait for the gray. I walked out with the black an hour later.

My take is this... no photos do any of these watches justice, plain and simple. They are all stunning and IF you can get one I don't think it's something you can pass on. I was taken back by how much better the black looks in person. Depending on the lighting the "Grande Tapisserie" pattern gives the dial a different color/effect. There were moments where the black dial looked gray. I think the black is bolder and gives the dial more depth. While the gray is stunning but as mentioned a bit more monochromatic. You can't go wrong with either. I hope you all get the same call I did! Best of luck, be patient.

Here's a pic...
Very nice! Congratulations! I've been wanting the grey dial as well but that black dial is stunning.
