I was offered the black and Taupe. I chose the black because it reminds me of Darth Vader.

Now based off this thread (and the other taupe strap color thread) this model has jumped towards the top of my list for consideration for my next purchase. The price being below retail doesn't hurt either.
With everyone raving about the dial though, am I missing something? Is taupe a bit of a misnomer? In most pictures the dial looks to be more of a smoked gray rather than taupe/khaki. On the other hand the stock strap is truly what I'd consider taupe. In my mind taupe is a very boring, dated color - like regular old khaki pants. But this dial seems to not fit that description. Someone described the combination with the taupe strap as military, which seems appropriate to me. I would almost certainly switch immediately to the black strap and leave it. Can someone comment on the true color of the dial itself, isolated from the strap? Would you call it taupe if AP hadn't done so first? |

IMG_5929-compressed.jpg Whatever that color is... Taupe me guesses? Honestly though in person it's not boring at all but not as loud as some real color options... Hits the sweetspot |

Is the grey ceramic rarer than the others? I seem to never see it listed for sale unlike the others.

Taupe is spectacular in person. It would win my vote every time. You need to see it in person, in the sunlight…. It is glorious.
Between the Ti and Taupe, I think weight is an important consideration. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

When I tried the taupe on, I was blown away by the dégradée and nice color combo (+ ceramic bezel). Because I already own a 26238ti grey so I went for the code 11.59 taupe no chrono wich is also amazing and in the same color / material Spirit :-)

I like when the dial of the code are more brilliant ( taupe, lady creme) than matte ( the 41mm blue / green). Still cannot get tired of it ! |

Your wrist shots nicely showcase the excellence of this taupe Code!
