Following recent threads on the color of the dial of Breitlings, I thought it would be a good idea to start a poll to find out what is the preferred color for your dials.

Since many have more than one Breitling, you may vote as many times as the Breitlings you have. Colors may include any variation of the color voted for.

Caution: poll valid for Breitlings only

You may need to combime white and silver results.

Black - 4 (Skyracer, SOH46, SOHC green bezel LE, Skyland)

Silver(white) - 2 (Steelfish, Skyracer)

Blue - 1 (Steelfish)

Grey - 1 (Skyracer Raven, black subs)

Why? they´re two complitely different colors which makes very different styles.

Sidenote: I hate that the creamy-ish / shampaign-ish silver color of the Aeromarines dials is called silver at all. It´s a beautiful dial IMO, but it´s not silver (very annoying and missleading IMO). :guns:

The clear crisp silver on the B01 and Evo, That´s silver!

Because there are models in all ranges that look white to me but Breitling calls "silver." For example - the Steelfish you mentioned, the Skyracer I have, the World, the Bently GT.

I think that you are also going to have to look at the post details - Sharkman has four black dials but no way to indicate that.

Similarly, not possible for me to accurately vote :lol:

I was thinking the same thing. I've only seen a few silver-dialed watches, but I've seen about a zillion that say they're "silver" when they look white.

You are perfectly right Roff :) That is why Sharkman, for example, must vote 4 times black or am I mistaken? What counts is total numbers.
