Hello all...
Here is a shot of the Gray dial. Apologies for the quality of the picture, and lint too! The dial is difficult to shoot as it gives off different shades of gray based on lighting so I did my best to capture it. As owners of gray dials will attest, one of the cool things is that the dial seems to look different in different lighting. Some blue dials give off the same affect.

More pictures coming soon! :thumbsup:

Best,
Todd

Assuming it's the quality of the picture, but the print, both yellow and white, looks too bold compared to the rendering in the first part of this thread.

The outline of the 12 marker could be a little thinner too.

I'm not feeling the yellow now. I realize it's been decided, but red on grey would be better IMO.

Based on looking at the black dial, its probably an out of focus picture.

Agreed on both counts.

I still dig the yellow and will look even better assembled with the yellow accent second hand tip.
