I also have a white dial on order, but having seen the photos I'm a little underwhelmed by the lack of contrast between the aged lume of the hour markers and the white dial. In the pre-production drawings there was a lot more contrast in the white version... I do however like the very white dial, but based on the pics in the email I prefer the black dial as the hour markers pop really nicely.

However I already own a couple of dual crown internal bezel watches with black dials - a Prometheus S80 and a 1970s Citizen Seven and a dark blue one in the Bulova Snorkel. Do I really need another black one? No.... which is why I ordered the white one to begin with. I'm considering cancelling my order, but I will think about it for a week or two before doing so...

The only shot I currently have of the Prometheus is at the bottom left corner of this photo...

I should add that I like the green dial, but I don't particularly like the PVD case, so it's a choice of black or white or none at all for me... :)

Just looking over these again and the brown dial in PVD case is growing on me ...

:think: So a modified C11 Makaira would have the same functionality.
Wonder if CWL will copy, err, take the opportunity, to bring another dual-time to the market? :?

I was just googling some Magrette images, and seems there's a "v2" of the Magrette site in the works. Not sure it should be publicly accessible, as it's very much "under contruction" still with lots of (Dion to do) notes around :lol:

http://v2.magrette.com/

Maybe they'll launch it with the new Dual Time?

So, have you fellow Dual Timers received the email asking for confirmation of colour choice? I have tried to get a release date out of Magrette but to no avail, all they will say is the end of May. Here's hoping no more delays
