Ok that one works. I got the email too, but I was just checking in case someone else wanted to check it out. I think it's a really cool piece. The bronze dial looks great with the cream subdials, would love to see this one in the flesh. |

Ha! It's released all over Facebook as well. Dial looks great! Would this look good on a camel strap? |

Edited the link. I tried to type the full site version rather than the mobile one and my phone decided to autocorrect! I wish that they would use their Havana brown dial more, this PanAmerican looks very washed out in person (at least to my eyes). |

Saw one a week or so ago at Breitling Boutique here in Hong Kong when I went there to pick up my Monty 1461 from service. That sunburst dial looked really great in real life especially when under bright light such as the spot lights in the Boutique. I think a sunburst dial in black would look even better. |

Nah, not doing it for me I'm afraid. I've never been a fan of the lighter brown dial - as Roff said, it looks very washed out and faded to me. (Plus...... it's got a white 4:30 date wheel). The standard black dial version is infinitely nicer IMO. |

Then again, I don't like brown/bronze watch dials in general. |

I actually like the light brown as it has more life in the dial and is less, well, brown. My problem is that to me its not versatile enough. A watch of that color would be a fifth or sixth watch in a collection for me, and as a full-buck 01 Navi, not happening. I also have momentary PTSD over this, as it reminds me of my Breguet XXI. Ruthenium yeah, showed as grey sometimes but, it's brown. |
