    After agonizing over which dial to get I took the plunge and got the grey, and I'm not at all disappointed. Reading other people's opinions on this particular color, it seems they either love it or hated, no middle ground. Fortunately I am in the former category. The finishing is perfect and feels relatively light compared to my other steel divers. The bracelet is comfortable on my wrist and like a lot of others, I plan on getting the blue OEM rubber strap sometime soon for some variety.
    As a lot of people have noted about this particular dial, it looks very different in different lighting environments. I think it actually looks a lot better under normal everyday lighting situations or , better still, in natural light. Particularly when compared to the bright focused lighting in an AD. So anyway, I took a bunch of pictures in different lighting conditions.

    Great choice! I recommend obtaining the OEM blue rubber strap - it's very comfortable and changes the look of the watch.
