Errrrr So why did i sell it :? :lol:
To save me hunting around the net looking at thousands of models, I'm thinking about a slate grey dialed watch, used or vintage - preferably a chronograph. Just for some kind of reference, I'm thinking old style Flieger, Breitling, or for non-chrono - a PAM possibly.

Its not the one you are thinking of but the very same in looks :wink:
And its the best colour for the M1 Hands down...
PAM's 91, 106, 170 and 86 come to mind all with anthracite dials as i'm sure you know, and all 8) I would star the 91 and 106 as my personal favourites.
Tudor Heritage Chronograph?
Vacheron Constantin Overseas Deep Stream with slate grey face, titanium bezel and choice of rubber or croc strap.
So what it's about £10k??? :)
Breitling Chrono Avenger non M1 version.
Don't know if you like the style but Uniform Wares has a grey chrono:

The Ball Chronometer Red Label has a very interesting grey dial with a subtle "corduroy" pattern to it.
The specific model I am thinking of is: NM2026C-SCJ-GY
I too have been searching for a slate grey watch...
The ones I have seen in steel (many seem to be offered in gold):
Chopard Mille Miglia GMT
Girard Perregaux WWTC Worldtime+Chrono Grey

A number of Sinn's might be of interest - check here http://www.chronomaster.co.uk/sinn.htm
And here are some examples:
Had a Rolex Date with a slate grey dial that looked copper-ish in bright sunlight. Beautiful dial.
Slate grey JLC :)
UN Maxi Diver with metallic grey dial?
How about a limited edition Fangio Carrera?
Looks good on a grey nato if you want to de-bling it too...
Might be a bit light, but the Steinhart Marine Chronographwhich is very similar to an old PAM chrono:
I've got the blue version and its a stunner.
I will second this nomination, Stowa makes a fine watch.
My Speedy ( http://www.omegawatches.com/gents/speed ... w/35945000 ) has a somewhat gray dial although perhaps a tad darker than what you seek. Because of the bezel it has an overall decidedly gray appearance. It was discontinued years ago so a used one is the only option.
How about the Glashutte Panomatic Lunar XL?

Omega Seamaster Titanium 150th Anniversary Limited Edition:
Something different...
Shturmanskie, choice of reissue or vintage...
I'm wearing right now on an old battered leather strap.
This is one of my current fave's. My only criticism of that particular version is the numerals appear quite shiny, the upcoming version is slightly neater IMO. That nubuck aligator strap looks lovely.How about the Glashutte Panomatic Lunar XL?

+1 hands down winner if you've got the dosh... :)
Buy a 757 DIAPAL, and when you grow tired of it, I'll buy it from you. :P

Love the dial, don't like the bezel. Matching bezel would be more complete look.Omega Seamaster Titanium 150th Anniversary Limited Edition:

There's a Breitling B1 on SC at the moment, that has a grey dial.
I'd recommend the M1 with the grey dial, but then i would be biased :D
I love everything about it, the slightly raised numbers with the black surround, the red tip on the hands, the colour of the dial, the sub dials, just everything about it really
