Just wondering if anyone else out there has one of the new dial cockpits? I love mine, simply the best watch I have ever owned. It is keeping since regulation and experimentation, +3 seconds over a 7 day period!

I get so many positive comments about it, one of the most common is that is looks elegant yet rugged!

I am a full convert of the big date feature and love the instant change feature as well!

The dial is spectacular! A sort of silvery cream white on my one.

I have not seen another new dial cockpit in the flesh yet, they still have the beautiful old dial in my AD though.

So, anyone else have one, if so don't hide it, show it off, let's see your pictures!
Here are a few of mine, must take some new ones!

Can't remember who, but there is definitely one other member with the new dial.

I prefer the old one, but I'm biased :wink: , and that is undoubtedly a nice piece.

I agree, the old dial is stunning, my friend has the rose gold TT model with a lovely creamy white face, either one, you can't go wrong!
I love the look of the Chrono's and will some day get a Navi but in truth I never use the functions where as the large date to these tired middle aged eye's is a God send!
If they are that rare a beast what the heck, let's see all cockpits, new and old!

This is one of those watches that cries out to be seen in the flesh! The dial is a work of art, especially the center section which is beautifully executed! I would love to see what it looks like with the other colours! The official photo's don't really show the colours that well I think!

Great pics again Ian - you already know that you've converted my opinion about the new dial. :)

I'm not the greatest photographer by a longshot, and this is one of my worse efforts, but here is my Cockpit family

Incidentally, the ding near 5 o'clock on mine was polished out after this photo was taken by the AD as part of a complimentary polishing.
