When you get a chance, it would be extremely interesting to post some side-by-side pics at an AD with your Havana Roman next to a Chocolate Roman. It may make us all go running out looking for vintage Havana if yours is slightly more bronze, which I think it is, than the current brown offering. I have seen a few-years old Havana dial on a ladies 26mm SS DJ on an Oyster and the dial "exploded" with color against the plain silver/white background of the case and bracelet. Yours, of course, is just stunning. In the recent rise in popularity of the glacier dial, yours stands out as very unique, I'd keep it changed back for a good while. Kudos, man.
