lanikai Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 Skyland Black and Grey A comparison of Dials these pics are done in different angles with less natural lightning in some pics that others ... so you can see the difference in the colour of the grey in increased light and decreased light.. I have taken them in different angles .. There has been members on the border line .. trying to decide between the two dials.. well, I hope this helps you decide .. jus more info for ya..

I have taken them in different angles .. There has been members on the border line .. trying to decide between the two dials.. well, I hope this helps you decide .. jus more info for ya.. Both pics were taken in slightly different lighting.. Are the markers more defined with the Black Dial ??? In Limited light the grey dial will darken .. These pics were not done for eye candy but for info purposes... Aloha~Cheers R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cskent69 Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 I am partial to the black dial. I think that the grey is nice too - probably one that you should keep if you have too many black dials in the collection. Otherwise - I would match the grey dial to a titanium case when they finally come up with one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest carlsbadrolex Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 Once again a big thank you to Lani! Since I already have the black, Im left with no alternative but to buy the grey also... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordRasta Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 I'm leaning towards the grey.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanikai Posted August 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 Terry ... Thank you !! I think the Grey may be apropos with the bracelet.... it brings out more richness in the grey .. IMO.... the black straps may overpower the grey .. making the strap more dominant.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toadtorrent Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 Don't tell me you stopped one short of the trifecta? The real question is: rubber, leather or bracelet? I'm thinking I like the grey for a change, but like the utilitarian-ness of the black. I agree Lani, the grey does look good with the bracelet.

b16a2 Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 It's a shame us Europeans didn't get the chance to see this. Lani it might be because there are so many Skyland posts that there is little discussion here, due to it all being discussed many times before. I am very sure this board really appreciates the work you put in, would be good to see the pics... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cc Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 thanks lani. i have a gen rubber waiting for the grey dial. I've seen and held the gen numerous times and thought the rep grey dial was too dark until i saw your pictures...... thanks for showing me it is the correct lighter shade (or close to it).

b16a2 Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 Beautiful pics as usual! Is that a rep strap on the black dial? I have one waiting at home for me, if it is going to look as good as that on a strap I cant wait for the weekend when I get home! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have one waiting at home for me, if it is going to look as good as that on a strap I cant wait for the weekend when I get home! Yes, that is the rep leather.. IMO the best leather rep strap to date.. it gets better looking with a little wear .. The leather strap pictured was for the SOSF .. but it's the same.. rub wax on the thread and it looks even better.. just use a candle.. or any parafin wax.

MADRED7 Posted August 27, 2008 Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 Thx for the pics Lani....it will be just as you mentioned...the bracelet will bring the grey dial color to stick out a bit more. I ordered a grey croc strap for the grey Skyland....and i am sure it will look amazing Theo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
