Grey Dials 5146

Does anyone know if there is a difference between grey dials between the:

5146P (Sunburst Ebony)
&
5146G (Slate Gray)

I have seen the 5146G with the grey dial and although it was a little difficult to read under certain light conditions it seemed very interesting. Hard to tell from pictures alone but the 5146P seems darker, easier to read but may have less variation with respect to angle and light.

Thanks!

Sadly I can't read either nor the black dial. I do think there is a difference. The P
is similar to the new 5396G and is a beautiful dial but useless as a watch if you can't tell the time!

The 5146P has a darker gray dial, compared to the 5146G slate dial. One interesting thing about the 5146 compared to the other Annual Calendars is that it has luminescent hands, whereas the 5396 and 5205 do not. This may help reading the time in dim illumination.

i don't think the darker dial of the 5146p will be significant enough to make a difference in legibility ; Actually the cleanness that you gain by loosing the 3 arabic numbers (9,12 and 3) you lose it in legibility . I would like to see that platinum in a cream dial
