5205G slate dial

Could you post pictures of 5205G with the slate dial. There are many photos of the one with the black dial but very few with the slate dial. I would greatly appreciate it!

While waiting for Tony...keep in mind that this picture is nothing compared to his, there's nothing like seeing the actual watch on his wrist!

Thanks guys! Is this considered slate dial or black dial? There is also one with the grey dial, which I thought was called the slate dial. May be I am mixing this up.

This one is called slate, I believe the other one is just called grey (or perhaps silver). This one is actually more dark grey than black if I'm not mistaken.

I think that Carneige is looking for photos of the silvery grey dial (lighter coloured dial) rather than mine, which has the darker dial.

Thanks for posting the pictures! Yes, topcat is right, by slate I meant silver-grey dial. It looks kind of very grey on the photos, without much silver in it. Is it really the case. I hope it is not dull looking. Hard to tell from the pictures.

Oops! My apologies for misunderstanding your posts! At least members were quite fast on this one, you may now enjoy pictures of both models!

P.S.: I personally prefer the slate (dark grey) dial! Not that the silver dial is dull looking but I saw the darker one in person and it looks amazing! Besides, as far as I'm concerned I believe it offers a much better contrast with the hands and the markers.

Nice one Randy... I prefer the 5205g in silvery grey dial because of its legibility at night. The hour/minute hands are more visible on the two tone dial.

The link below is about dark dial vs silver dial. Hope it help.

Anyone can update the result?
