Are you blue? What is your favorite blue dialed watch


Recommended Posts

Posted

Summer seems to bring it out of me, but every year, I always get an itching for a blue dialed watch (dialled if you're a non-US English speaker, forgive me).

So I'm asking two questions:

1. What is your favorite blue dialled watch

2. Are there any on the horizon that you think are noteworthy?

I'll start. For me, the blue on the Nautilus is the clear winner. Now I'm looking for a piece that's larger. I'm a fan of the Kobold GMT (great metallic blue, which is my favorite) and the ROO Navy, but let me have it!

I just finished reading the post on Gens, and Sanro's Patek would take this thread over! My god that is a nice watch. Anyone who hasn't seen his 5980 needs to read that thread!

Dont own either but also like the Omega Seamaster Chronograph like Lani's..

I'm probably one of the few to say this; but I actually like the WG Blue Sub alot. Of course its shouty, who wants understatement from a 20k piece of jewellery anyway?!

Blue it is.................

Facts:

Moon-phases in a rotating dates dial. Svend Andersen

an expert in lunar calendars, and the idea of this Orbita Lunae automatic came to him while designing a Jewish calendar for Alain Silberstein in 1995.

The disc under the dial carries two gold moons and two blue circles. The disc rotates at around half the speed of the dial, compensating for the 10 days difference between the lunar and solar year. Andersen adds 2 1/2 days every two months or 15 days a year. The adjustment of the calendar five times a year (in months of fewer that 31 days) removes the five surplus days....WOW!!!

Just taking a peek

Justasgood, That's a beautiful Pinarelo. I especially like the steel fork. My 94 Paramount had a carbon fork for years but I recently put the steel fork back on. God intended for bicycles to be lugged steel with steel forks.

The Fish is always a looker with the blue dial...

But my personal fav is the next on the list for me - one of my all time grails - Platinum DD in Glacier Blue. Oh the humanity!
