Ok, so I was wondering last night. Are the faces on MOP watches real MOP or just some really nice coloring? I see they offer it in different color options but the standard MOP is white though I have seen, Black, Blue, White, Grey.

Anyone have history on MOP in watch design?

I was curious what color this one is called, it looks blue (in pics aside from stock pics) and I have heard it called blue by AD's but when googling it, it appears they call it black.

I had an Evo that I believe was called "black MOP". It was more of a blueish/purpleish.

That image doesn't look like Black MOP to me, but that's likely the rendering. Black MOP is a purplish blue.

This is an amazing piece! I'm sure it has a tasty price tag attached to it too :mrgreen:
