Re: Seems to Confirm the Theory
In Response To: Seems to Confirm the Theory ()

Jeff,

The grey dial with the black registers seems to be a little bit darker when closely compared to the dial which is completely grey. There also seems to be a kind of different "finish" between these to dials. I don't know how to explain...you just need to see it in the metal. I would describe the dial which is completely grey has a more refined finish, dial is very glossy compared to the one with the black registers...

Maybe I'll be able to take some more shots in the week to come without the crystal...this will show us maybe some more details...

Abel.

: excellent photos; very helpful, for this analysis.

: one question, please: comparing the two versions of the 1133G, we
: see that one (on the left) has the black registers (contrasting
: subs) and the other (on the right) has the matching registers
: (same color as the dial itself). Are the background colors of
: the two dials the same shade of grey, or is one darker and the
: other lighter? from the photos, they seem to be the exact same
: shade or very close. Is one light grey and one dark grey, or are
: they about the same? Can you confirm or update us?

: Thanks,

: Jeff
