How blue is the Cousteau 2006?

hi, I got an 06 from Ruby (nice replica) and another from Angus (Puretime), there's a comparison posted here somewhere...ah here ya go

but in a nutshell:

Both dials are the same base color, it is a very blue black. Ruby's had nicer subdials and much better aligned indices. Angus's had a more accurate day/date font and (very faint) lume on the inner bezel, whereas Rubies did not. Angus's strap was a very grey shade of blue and very stiff, Ruby's was very dark blue and is more accurate to gen in feel ( and I'm now the proud owner of not one, but 2 gen aquatimers, a Slevin and a Split Minute...pics to follow ).

Angus's had a slightly better mechanical feel in the chrono dept, Rubies was a good bit cheaper esp. if you figure in shipping...
