Could some kind soul with access to a set of Chronologs 2006-2010 (or impressive ready knowledge of Aerospace models) do me a big favour and check whether the Aero dial colours changed at all in that span?

That is, I know there was the Aero Avantage 2005-6; and I know the newer pin-striped, current Aero was introduced in 2010. What I wanted to know was whether there was any dial variation whatever in the 2006-10 Aero. In pics, some look very white, some creamier; some describe theirs as 'white', some as 'silver', which is I think the official designation. I was wondering if at some point in that span there was any colour variation in that 'light' (as opposed to grey or black) Aero; or whether 2006-10 they remained silver but are just photographing differently.

Many thanks for any info.

Well I'll give this a shot. I have the 2006 chronolog, 2009, and 2010 catalogs. The 2006 and 2009 catalogs show what looks like the exact same colors, gray, black, blue, and white (which actually looks more like a cream).

The 2010 catalog shows a black, blue, copper, and white (pin striped dials). From the pictures (which may not be totally accurate) the blue in the 2010 looks brighter than the blue in 2006/2009. The white in the 2010 also looks more white than the cream colored dials in 2006/2009. Can't be sure that this is true in real life.

Hopefully someone can confirm a difference or not.

Very kind of you Kodiak thanks. That confirms what I thought. One sees some pics of the 2006-9 Aero which look like quite a bright white rather than the as-you-say rather cream dials, but I guess it's just the angle or the light or something.
