I just got mine. I think the dial looks perfect, exactly as I imagined it, the perfect blend of green and blue.

Regarding condition, except for some minor grey smudges on the bezel (which seem to go away with a bit of rubbing), the rest of the watch (strap included) is absolutely pristine.

So overall, this is definitely a keeper for me. Especially considering the price!

I tried to take some shots, but the lighting is pretty poor as it's very cloudy outside. But looking at my own shots now, I can also confirm that the dial looks slightly greener in real life than the shots.

@alexqaws

I had just wondered if some of the watches had actually been made with a darker dial than others. I like the one I got, but it looks to have a greener look than most of the pictures I have seen. Here's another I just took.

@JAFO I would say that my watch in real life looks like the one on your pictures (I checked it on 3 devices just be sure). So if you can say that your watch looks similar to your pictures, then our two watches probably look the same.

This to me is also consistent with CW's official pictures. In fact, I could say that the watch in my hands looks slightly greener than the one from CW's pictures, just by a tiny fraction.

My pictures above however, turned out much blue-ish than the real dial, so I would say they do not reflect the real look. I'm not sure if it's the poor lighting, or just some phone correction, but I can 100% say that the real dial is significantly greener than what my photos captured.
