cypher Posted January 31, 2007 Report Posted January 31, 2007 I too was wondering the same thing.... in the prototype pictures there was a clear difference between the grey and black. Now the grey appears to be black indeed. It almost looks like the graphite dial with a white ' Automatic' writing.... I was asking the same questions on TRC...guess we'll have ro wait for Angus to post better pics if in case there is a difference.

watchman12345 Posted January 31, 2007 Report Posted January 31, 2007 you have PM Got my graphite today. Waiting for contact with Angus before I post a review.
deltatahoe Posted January 31, 2007 Report Posted January 31, 2007 Got my graphite today. Waiting for contact with Angus before I post a review. i hope this doesn't mean there are issues w/ the watch....
watchman12345 Posted February 1, 2007 Report Posted February 1, 2007 The watch is beautiful, and Angus has responded positively to my problem.
jkerouac Posted February 1, 2007 Report Posted February 1, 2007 The watch is beautiful, and Angus has responded positively to my problem. You do know how to perk up eyes, ears.... and heartbeats, at least among those of us who are eagerly awaiting our new Evos. As for those who are wondering about how grey the grey dial is, you might wander over to www.breitling.com and look at their pictures for comparison. I have not visited an AD to view the Evo in person, but based on both PT's and Breitling's pictures, I assume the grey dial will be darker than, for example, the grey dial Tag chrono. But I, too, hope it is closer to grey than to black, because that is a gap in my collection that I am hoping to fill. For me that was the deciding factor between the graphite and grey dial models. Some of us should know for sure by the end of this week or (more likely) the beginning of next week. Sigh.
lovepanerai Posted February 1, 2007 Report Posted February 1, 2007 Here is my Graphite BCE that I received yesterday - quite a difference to the pervious version I will post a more detailed picture review once I have a little more time
fotoman Posted February 1, 2007 Report Posted February 1, 2007 wow, i wasn't even going to get oen of these - but they look really cool
Bignasty Posted February 1, 2007 Report Posted February 1, 2007 Got mine today with an extra strap. Both are great. Will post pics hopefully soon!
rbj69 Posted February 1, 2007 Report Posted February 1, 2007 mine has arrived and i did a small pictorial breakdown for u all , hope u enjoy it joe http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showto...mp;#entry193757
Rolexman Posted February 1, 2007 Author Report Posted February 1, 2007 (edited) I really really really really DO hope the grey dial looks like this: But I doubt it..... Here's the link to King's website: http://www.kingshowbox.com/0.htm The grey seems way off!! I compared both dials on King's website and am almost certain that the grey dial is the exact same dial as the graphite version. Damn am I dissapointed! What can we do? .... should we contact Angus? Edited February 1, 2007 by Rolexman
skjalg Posted February 1, 2007 Report Posted February 1, 2007 anyone know apx when white dial will be available in this version?
shultz Posted February 1, 2007 Report Posted February 1, 2007 Some of us should know for sure by the end of this week or (more likely) the beginning of next week. Sigh. I would really appreciate that because I made pre-payment a long time ago.... Unfortunately for the grey/black version (which is - sorry- not close to the real deal). I will wait some days until the black/ silver dial (743) version will be released. Problably I will go for that model then. If that one should be way off I will have to go for the grapphite dial finally. Mmmm, not my first choice but payment has been made early....

Mmmm, not my first choice but payment has been made early.... i think u should go for the graphite , its fantastic and the red auto matic just makes even nicer but not too out there imho just my 2 cents i would hate to see u get the grey dial if u think it is way off in color joe
shultz Posted February 1, 2007 Report Posted February 1, 2007 i would hate to see u get the grey dial if u think it is way off in color joe You are right Joe. An alternative is -I said that- the black/ silver version. I'll wait for pics and then I make my decision. I have been waiting a long time since I made pre-payment and I hope I will get any information from Angus soon
woody Posted February 1, 2007 Report Posted February 1, 2007 (edited) Hi guys, I have just exchanged email with Angus, and told him about some of the concerns we all had for the grey dial. He wanted me to post this picture on his behalf, as he had just taken this, but is too busy to post this. He hopes that it will show the contrast better. I think we really would not know until we all receive ours. But, just based on the picture, it does look pretty much like the graphite dial. I have not researched for too much gen photos on the net, but I have a feeling that this grey dial may be just a tad off, then again, like I have said, we really would not know more, until we all receive the watches. So hope this picture can address some of our concerns.....thanks. Edited February 1, 2007 by Woody
Bignasty Posted February 1, 2007 Report Posted February 1, 2007 Just posted a bunch of pics of mine here! http://www.rwg.cc/members/Ultimate-Bce-Fro...gus-t20255.html
Rolexman Posted February 1, 2007 Author Report Posted February 1, 2007 (edited) Another comparison between the genuine Graphite and Grey dial! DAMN DAMN DAMN.... I wish I chose the Graphite version. Anybody up for a trade? Edited February 1, 2007 by Rolexman
rbj69 Posted February 1, 2007 Report Posted February 1, 2007 Another comparison between the genuine Graphite and Grey dial! DAMN DAMN DAMN.... I wish I chose the Graphite version. Anybody up for a trade? hey i will give u a hundred bucks for it lol im just kidding with u , im sure he will let u change it joe
jkerouac Posted February 1, 2007 Report Posted February 1, 2007 Isn't it a bit early to be getting upset about a grey dial that no one has even received yet? I'm awaiting one and I am keeping an open mind, thank you. I've studied the pics on Breitling's own site and the grey dial there looks darker than the one in the Blower's pic. But then, the Blower's pic looks as if it was distorted, perhaps by the AR coating.
supermanx Posted February 1, 2007 Report Posted February 1, 2007 I really really really really DO hope the grey dial looks like this: This is exactly what I want, diamond bezel and all... Hoping it comes out soon.
cypher Posted February 2, 2007 Report Posted February 2, 2007 Can someone post a pic (thats not on the Breitling website) of the grey dial with the black strap and white stitching? Thanks!!
shultz Posted February 2, 2007 Report Posted February 2, 2007 Hi guys, I have just exchanged email with Angus, and told him about some of the concerns we all had for the grey dial. He wanted me to post this picture on his behalf, Thanks Woody. I have to second this in particular our concerns. That grey/ black version has been my first choice. Now I will wait for the black/ silver version. I hope that one will be much better. If not: Please welcome me in the grapphite club
xelorrolex Posted February 2, 2007 Report Posted February 2, 2007 (edited) Can someone post a pic (thats not on the Breitling website) of the grey dial with the black strap and white stitching? Thanks!! See here Edited February 2, 2007 by xelorrolex
Rolexman Posted February 3, 2007 Author Report Posted February 3, 2007 I received a Fedex Tracking# from Angus but it doesn't work... anybody else experienced this?
