Variations
The subdials are more divided between the stark white ones and more grey/silver. The dials have much more variations especially in the older generations.

You are absolutely right.. in the light even the older generation YG can have an almost PG appearance.

Dial variations
It's true there is some variance in dial colors particulary some of the older models. I've seen subdials that are more grey to stark white.
Thanks Brad, is the variance in color ...
only appearing in/on the subdials or on both the main dial and sub dials ? Your watch, f.i., the subdial looks white; is it? And the ´champagne´ YG dial. I have seen a YG dial that was, uhh, YG, but yours is looking different, more RG perhaps? Edwin
