Getting the SAK organized I found this Dark Gray V.10127US2. Until you have a light on both, the dark gray will have a bluish tint to it. In regular light it would be really easy to think they were both black. Anybody else have the Dark Gray? Here are my five different Alox colors.
I've got one. You're right, it's color is very lighting dependent.

I have a dark gray Pioneer, the one that came in a 2012 watch set.(Image removed from quote.)The model number of this gray pioneer is 0.8201.79R
Just got one off the bay as it was about a couple bucks cheaper than the normal black/red/silver versions out there and I figured why not.I too thought it was black at first until I pulled out my flashlight, figured the seller sent me a mis-marked box at first glance.Not sure if I'll use it or just keep it in the box as it is different but only barely so.Still trying to find the limited steel blue color for cheap but there is no need to rush in the collecting hobby

And then what color...a slippery slope we walk.
