I was hoping to find out what colors were produced for that run of Avantages. I know there was a black, copper and blue dial. Was there also a grey dial ?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Michael,

Hope this helps. I think this is the style of dial you are referring too.

Yup! That's really good info. I guess I'm trying to figure out if there was a grey dial one as opposed to the black dial one. Does anyone know if the E7936210/Q572 was a grey one? (Edit - I did some more searching and that Q572 appears to be the "bronze" dial one).

I'm asking because I'm looking at one and the seller is adamant that it's a "grey dial" but I think it's the black dial one. Did these black dial (tuxedo) ones have a "charcoal grey/black" color to them?

The Q572 looks like one of those dial colors that is hard to interpret in pictures

I think it looks like either a light black "Charcoal" or gray, definitely not a darker black.

I wonder if its like a Tungsten Gray dial in real life (my Tungsten Gray dial looks almost Volcano black at certain angles and more of a lively texturized gray at other angles)

I suspect part of the "problem" is the double AR can make the dial color look very different at different angles.

The Q572 is apparently the "bronze" dial. Do you know which number corresponds to the tungsten gray?

I don't know if there is a Tungsten Gray with this specific model, i was just saying that the Q572 reference dial of this model looks much more like a light black or gray, doesn't look very bronze at all

But that could be because of lighting (like the Tungsten Gray dial on my Avenger II Seawolf)
