(Login PAM1A ) AP Discussion GroupDear all,
went into discussion with a friend yesterday about the SAFARI when visiting our local dealer.
Me: the numbers are dark-brown!
He: the numbers are black!
Who is right???
And who can prove by pic?
Thanks for helping out...even the AD did not know for sure.

Author Reply ThomasM (Premier Login thepurist178 ) Forum Owner You know, this is a funny question... June 17 2010, 8:47 PM
because it keeps coming up all the time, and even those who have a Safari don't always give the same answer.
Unless someone else does it first, I'll try to shoot some pics of mine when I get back to where I can access it to lay this to rest once and for all.
From memory?
I don't remember!

(Premier Login thepurist178 ) Forum Owner Sorry I can't confirm sooner. From memory it looked very dark to me, so I remember black June 21 2010, 5:42 PM
but nothing like looking at the dial in hand, under good lighting, to be sure.
Alas, I am 400 miles away from it and will only be getting farther before I get closer...
I'll try to confirm through other channels, from those who should know for sure.
Cheers,

... something huge and is bringing the world of 'non matching T-dial mania' to the AP collectors? 'Vintage' AP dials changing colour? Black fading into brown?
Only wild guessing untill he confirms
Just joking arround,
All the best,
