Hip Hop Posted March 7, 2011 Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 Hey guys, just wondered if you guys could help me out here? I recently got a 16613 blue two tone sub from Joshua, the watch looked great to me in the QC pics (which I wasn't allowed to post up) and it looked good when it arrived, but I noticed yesterday that the dial actually has a very strong purple tint to it, and I think to my eyes the blue bezel colour is also slightly wrong...anyway I contacted Joshua about the purple dial, and how the colours looked perfect in the QC pictures, but aren't really correct in normal lighting! His response was maybe I should check out the gen watch for comparison, because the dial is actually correct? Is this true?? I thought I've always read on here people advising members to try and steer clear of the reps with purple dials??? Thanks for your help! Dan.

By-Tor Posted March 7, 2011 Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 Rep blue is always too purple/violet, regardless of the brand and model. Even the blue bezels are always too purple. That's just how it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghost Posted March 7, 2011 Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 Actually it depends what series your watch is trying to emulate. The older series' TT subs equipped with tritium dials often turned blueish-purple. I had one. The clasp was the stainless steel version though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hip Hop Posted March 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 Yeah I can understand having a hint of purple on the dial, but this one, as soon as the light hits it, there's literally no blue at all, I'll have to upload a pic when I got back from work...
