Wow, the live pics look a million times better than the rendered image!

Green bezel is very dark and if you put it on a black strap I think it would look fine.

These pics aren't representative. Seeing it live at SIHH the dial is much greener. Sadly its a dirty green which I think is quite unpleasant.

IMHO the pics portray the way the watch looks in person. The dial is beige not green and the bezel is much darker than the green in the stock images.

Apologies, I said 'dial' when I meant to say bezel. Its the bezel that is more of a green colour in real life than in the pics. The bezel is a dark 'dirty' green. I hated it.

Bezel is actually almost black. At least under the light we were shooting with.

When I saw and handled it on AP's stand at SIHH its a definite kharki green, not black. However that was under bright lighting, and I can imagine in dull light it might easily look black.

Never said it was black, it is almost black looking and it is very dark green, much darker than the stock images AP published.

I'm tired of your splitting hairs. The bezel is in bright light (as per SIHH which I attended) a dark khaki green. If go into duller lighting it will, obviously, appear darker. I've no doubt if you look at the watch in dull-enough light it will appear black.

No one doubts that you attended SIHH. You're probably one of AP's ADs or VIP clients.
