Grey dials —- can folks post wrist shots pls?
I’m curious to see more grey dials from various brands. Seems like we see tons of blues and such but grey … not so often.
Grey seems like a nice alternative to black. It can be quite classy. Just enough to catch the eye but not too flashy. Office or evening wear. Resonates “quiet luxury”for me.
For me, It’s the discontinued GP Laureato 38 mm anthracite grey dial. Ref: 81005-11-231-11A. With the thin calibre 3300. So the case is about 10 mm thick. Pretty good.

I like it.
One can see JLC took pains to color this dial.
Interesting to see elements of tobacco brown as well.

I think it’s 14790SA
I’ve only had 2 AP watches and don’t really know the numbering system, but according to Grok AI:
This Audemars Piguet Royal Oak features a 36mm case in stainless steel with an 18k yellow gold octagonal bezel and crown, a Petite Tapisserie grey dial with applied gold hour markers, luminous hands, date window at 3 o’clock and a two-tone integrated bracelet.
These details match reference 14790SA (full code 14790SA.O.0789SA.01 for the grey dial), produced from the early 1990s to mid-2000s.

Both the Ming and the Shturmanskie…
Are very light dependent but are both dark grey 👍🏻
Glad you enjoyed them 👋🏻

I am absolutely enamored with grey dials!
What else would I add in grey? Perhaps a grey ceramic case like the GSoTM or the new Grey Planet Ocean ceramic, or a Gen 2 VCOS Deepstream....
Of course the grey grail might be the Vacheron Everest or 2000v...
Here are the current greys that I feel so fortunate to be taking care of
Those are all killer
The extreme lab looks so good in this color combination!

Its a watch made by Florent Lecomte.
A french teacher at a watchmaking school that in his spare time makes wonderful watches
Superb dials here Nico 🫶🏼
Especially when grey is the main dial color with accents in another color.
I remember this when I see some a Minerva’s as well with tachymeter in light blue color.
Grey is an excellent neutral color that pairs so well with almost anything.
