Would you vote light choco, or no?

I know it’s hard to tell in isolation, so here’s a comparison shot:

Top photo no. Bottom one yes. The bottom photo has more of a reflection of the photographers hand, so is the brown tint just a reflection of their skin colour?

When it comes to tropical dials, my feeling has always been if you have to ask, most likely it's not.

Look relatively the same to me, but my son is always telling me I'm color blind.

I would say the both of them are certainly heading in the direction of tropical. 👍

Sunlight really makes it apparent. Here’s mine...overall I’d say perhaps.

Judging from the papers, the colour temperatures of both pictures are different, the bottom one looks a bit warmer to me.

If you could take a picture of both watches side-by-side in the same frame, that might enable us to give a more accurate opinion.

Great advice, both of you:

You have a nice chocolate dial, DON and the bracelet.

Ok... not trying to hijack, but since we are talking chocolate or not... prefect example of how light and angles can alter perception.

I have a 2.2 Mk2 Rolex red sub which have been known to go tropical, or chocolate. If you look at the side by side image taken on a window sill comparing Rolex with my Speedmaster, the Rolex definitely appears chocolate. However, an indoor image, less light, the dial on the Rolex appears black.

So... chocolate or no chocolate, and if I go by my own rule, if you have to ask... I’m confused.

Still there. Light matters.

I'm confused too.

Why didn't you take better care of your Omega ?

I'm confused by your statement... whose Omega? Mine? LarryS? M'Bob?
Don't think any of us threw our watches into the washing machine or dragged them behind our cars.

Maybe an attempt at horological humor?

Light can be misleading... I would probably not advertise mine as chocolate/tropical, since it's not very brown in low light. But the brown is definitely there in sunlight. What do you think? 😀

I agree. The light source makes a lot of difference, in low artificial light the dial on my Dad's 105.012-65 can look fairly dark. Sunlight seems to bring out the brown more.
