Kinda actually agree with you Altair about the silver looking a little cheap! A little like tin. I guess something about the color of the B4B 6.75 that Im trying to sell. Something just a little offwhite. Doesnt have to be sooo ivory in color but not something bright white!

The silver (certainly the Doxa silver anyway) looks a million times better in real life compared to in pictures.

Ivory might be nice too. Not a big fan of flat white as it can look a little too harsh and bright.

Grey dial, steel case, titanium bezel! Hands would be silver and the indices gray or vice versa

in my opinion they grey and silver color play can be striking!!!!

That looks great - in a non chrono.

Not sure whether the balance would be quite right with a busier chrono dial.

not too shabby!!! And certainly not common.

We can design the dial markers/numerals anyway we wish!

Like the dial color. No titanium for me but we'll see how this pans out!

I do not check for a day and a half and look what pops up!
I am SO in! Altair (PM sent to verify) good show!!!
I also am not a fan of Titanium, even as an accent. You can get a simillar look with varying steel treatments. I voted silver but any less common color set would be great. Not a fan of blue either, sorry. But if that is the decision, I am still in!

I have to say I am surprised the gray has won with such a huge margin (double the nearest contender!)

Can't say that I am not happy about that! :mrgreen:

Mods, please lock this thread.

Just a quick note, for the sake of sanity I will not post teh rest of the dial options untill we have completed the rest of design process so assume grey. The other options are silver and white.
