Krister Posted May 19, 2012 Report Share Posted May 19, 2012 Hi everybody, I want to buy a new replica that goes well with a dark grey army uniform and I want one with a blue dial. Preferably one that has a blue color that can go together with a star sapphire. I know it's a special request. Just flow with me Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sardonix Posted May 19, 2012 Report Share Posted May 19, 2012 My favorite blue dial, this is my gen, but i have seen quiet good reps of this one. It is a Chronomat Evolution late model Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phillycheez Posted May 19, 2012 Report Share Posted May 19, 2012 blue dial and army uniform? What you are lookin for is a Tudor Snowflake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krister Posted May 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2012 I like the Chronomat Evolution. It looks good. I have an Avenger Skyland 1st edition with a deep grey/black dial. It's a big watch and I am looking for something with a case that doesn't stand out so much. The Chronomat Evolution looks too much like the one I have. The Tudor Snowflake wasn't something I fell for, unfortunately... I'll keep looking and please come with more suggestions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxman Posted May 19, 2012 Report Share Posted May 19, 2012 When It comes to blue dials I've always liked this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
browngo1 Posted May 19, 2012 Report Share Posted May 19, 2012 What about a Steelfish, I know the blue might be slightly off from the gen, but unless you've got a gen next to it, who's going to be able to tell? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrandazzo Posted May 19, 2012 Report Share Posted May 19, 2012 What about a Bond watch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hambone Posted May 19, 2012 Report Share Posted May 19, 2012 The blue Rolex is a great choice, as well as the Breitling. Panerai makes a few blue dialed watches which are my personal favorite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johndoe1 Posted May 19, 2012 Report Share Posted May 19, 2012 I vote the SMP. Which military academy are you attending? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dluddy Posted May 19, 2012 Report Share Posted May 19, 2012 For a military man I vote SMP or Steelfish Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrisOK Posted May 19, 2012 Report Share Posted May 19, 2012 (edited) If you get a blue Rolex sub, the new one with the blue ceramic bezel and blue dial, just remember that you are rocking a $25K+ watch. The gen of that model only comes in solid white gold. The TT version is only about $10K in gen form. I second the Steelfish or the SMP. Both look great, are tool watches, and the gens are in a believable price range. Edited May 19, 2012 by KrisOK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sardonix Posted May 19, 2012 Report Share Posted May 19, 2012 Not standing out but classy maybe you like a blue dial date just? Take a look at this one which is sold but nice pics much better color in real life then on the dealer websites: C L I C K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utheman Posted May 19, 2012 Report Share Posted May 19, 2012 For classy blue dial watches that go with a grey military uniform, two come to mind: Bluminor 79090 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

panerai153 Posted May 19, 2012 Report Share Posted May 19, 2012 I would second the 7960 Tudor. First off, If you are a young cadet (and I certainly don't know if you are, you could be the Commanding Officer of your country!!). But if you are, I wouldn't wear something too ostentatious. It's going to draw the attention of those above you with possible negative outcomes. The Tudor looks like a Rolex sub,made by Rolex ,uses a Rolex case, but it isn't, it's a Tudor. The second choice would be the Omega Seamaster "Bond". The Tudor if kept in good condition, will likely appreciate in value, or at worst not lose any. The Omega on the other hand will depreciate over time at least to a certain point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Carl Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 Rolex Air King blue dial. I don't have a suggestion for you, just Google it. Carl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrandazzo Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 (edited) This is really nice! Looks like a gen, am I right? It is, but it is not. Old SMP closed factory franken built in origin by FxrAndy. Only middle case, bezel, caseback and crystal are rep. I'm looking on the bay for a bargain caseback and crystal to complete the puzzle. I don't want to spend much, unless they are bargain. It's almost perfect as it is! Edited May 20, 2012 by mrandazzo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
