Thread: Chameleon dials

  1. #1

    Chameleon dials

    Over the years noticed that I seem to be drawn to 'chameleon' dials, every glance brings a new look, different colour, different texture, new dial.
    Not just coloured dials either. Indeed the first pic. of the Beihai seen (by me anyway) could have been white/cream/silver

    got to admit when opening for the first time and saw a bland grey dial not impressed to say the least, then, the light hit, and ...wow

    This was just a bit of fun to add to the Rado collection at a reasonable price - I just don't have the guts to actually wear it.

    Here are two - I have a few others. Sunburst dial is always good at that changing light.








    Too many watches, not enough wrists.

    The IWL dial is the perfect example of a chameleon dial. Its color can change from shades of grey to shades of black to shades of blue to shades of I've-even-seen-a-green.

    Once in awhile you get shown the light in the strangest of places if you look at it right.
