Dial swap

Swapped out the dial of my 1601 to give it some life IMO, what do you guys think? Slate grey or silver?

I'm a fan of unusual dials so the gray works for me. The only thing more 'usual' than a silver is Champaign.:)

Looks like virtually the same dial in different lighting! (Is this a trick question?) So close. Option 2, I guess. Nice either way.

Thanks for the input guys! I tried to like the slate grey but just couldn’t I guess. As far as the light situation, no it’s not a trick question haha, however the slate grey will never be a brilliant as the silver In the sun.

Confused by the photo colors. The first two both look the same slate grey and the third one looks gold.

Anyway, always cream/silver for me. Nice watch.

If that’s slate it’s the lightest one I’ve seen. Looks great regardless.
