Purple is my favourite color. It’s taken me 30+ years of watch collecting to finally add a papal purple to the collection. Courtesy of Fred. So how many other purple dials are there? I know the grape Rolex which is still on my radar. What do my fellow collectors have in the purple violet light bandwidth?
Here is mine. Bucherer - mid 1970s with eta. Official chronometer too!

New arrival this week. Seller had described it as amethyst so I had already searched to see if this thread existed!
Was a little disappointed when it arrived as it seemed a much flatter brown in real life. Glad I hadn't gone mad with complimentary and contrasting straps before it arrived. Think I'll try a milanese bracelet instead now.

Very hard to photograph. Not sure what to call this dial; its not Tigers Eye and I don't think its Cotes de Geneve.
Some hints of violet if not full purple.



Of course, now that I'm searching purple Technos, can I avoid going full Gemmy?!!!

Looks like a Diastar that fell into a paint can 😁

Your first Technos pictured definitely has solid hints of purple 👍

The color looks to be aubergine...eggplant.

Interesting to see so many purple dials. Here is my only one, but it just sits in a drawer:

looks fine as-is 👍

Thanks, unfortunately the bracelet is about 2" too big. I think my fall back will be Milanese if I can't find something better
