My Halloween watch has arrived - saw this SO while traveling a bit ago and decided I 'needed' it, ha!
I would definitely describe this dial as 'pumkin' orange. Here are some shots.

Thanks for looking and pumkin/halloween comments are permitted :D .

If not the the square seconds hand, I would own one myself. Grats on the pickup, I had a car just like that in color. Lamborghini Murcielago metallic orange. I think it was called Arancio Atlas 2CT. Not identical as it was a metallic, but very close!!!

Grats, been waiting for those pics! Wear it in good health!

Terry,
Heartfelt congratulations! Still the best looking "orange" of any watch brand IMO. I am quite sure that one is a soon-to-be classic, unless they introduce it in another model.
Cheers,
Carl

No way, I the only way I could afford that was if I want to live in it too. They pay well in Saudi Arabia, but not that well! I just had my car painted that color! It's long gone now, sold it during the worst of the economic slump, but the dial really reminds me of it.

I'm not sure my camera can get a much closer (in-focus) shot but I will try. The white arabics are slightly outlined in grey to give it a 'shadow' effect. The white part is 'lumed'.

See what I can do on pics.

Does the grey make it look cheap at all? A lume shot might help I believe.

Thanks for taking the time to help me. I'm all over the place with what watch I want next :)

I don't think the grey cheapens the look. It's a little hard to explain, but it gives a little '3D' effect and helps make the dial 'pop' IMO, I like it. My camera is away for a couple days so I'll try some more pics this weekend. I just put the ocean racer on it today as I think that is a more sporty strap for the summer /active months. DP II rubber went on my GMT - looks good I think.

Out of curiosity, what models are you thinking of ?.
