Your favorite blue dial?

Let's keep this going. ;)

Wearing this recent acquisition today.

[Bazz]

Slightly late arrival I'm afraid, but my only (therefore favourite), blue dial.
Bazz.

Beautiful blue Sub; like an idiot I didn't hang on to this.




A Heuer Carrera - it has a stunning striped dial. The hands are, as I'm sure many will spot, not original as is the crystal, but I got it from a pawn broker for a pittance, so I'm hoping one day to get it sorted out.

Cheers

Ian :D

Would anyone be able to tell me the number of this Bell-matic model please?

[burnsey66]

Gotta be this one.

First time I've ever been able to play this particular game, so forgive me :D

:lol: this very model is splashed around here on large fancy advertising boards in our area in Girona - very eye-catching colour combo - damned SHOULD I go have a look ? :mrgreen:
Cheers, Peter

this one is a KILLER! I like it more than the blue Rolex Sub.

[ingenioren]

It is platinum and the diameter is about 38-39mm , a lovely watch to wear.

I also think it is pronounced with the ch sound.

Apparently every time 'c' or 'g' is ahead of 'e', or 'i' it's pronouced 'chellini ' or 'Girona' is 'Jirona' :wink:

This (weren't watches small years ago :lol: ) lady I bought new, never gets used - it's a lovely 'velvet' blue like the Patek - crap pic though !

Hi Tony

I'm not at home so can't look at the caseback but from memory I think it's a 4006 6031

It's a beautiful watch. It's probably not realistic to compare a 1,500 watch with a 15,000 (or whatever), but for me the blue Rolex Sub looks too bright, and I don't like the new case shape one bit. Have another pic, anyway:

[glickman]

Newest is my vintage Omega Seamaster 120 "Deep Blue":



but VERY near and dear to my heart is my "Big Blue" Dornblüth 99.2:

My contribution (although not completely blue sure you will let me away with it)

Cheers Willie

[Seabadger]

That's a lovely looking watch. You don't (well, I don't) see many vintage Atlantics around, sadly. I picked one up at a market in Athens last year (not a chrono), but have hardly seen any in the UK that I can recall.

[Ozzyblackbeard]

Currently away for a service, can't wait to get my Headwind back (pic pinched off the web).




Details of dial manufacture process below, copied from http://www.watchtalkforums.info/foru...-headwind.html .

The dial on this watch is superb. Showing a date & day of week via aperture windows, it’s functional and pleasant looking. The dial itself is finished by a sophisticated process known as “par epargne” and is almost exclusive to Breitling. The “par epargne” method is said to be extremely luxurious. The dial is a solid piece of silver, with the writing in exposed enamel as opposed to applied lacquer paint. This is attributed to the areas of the dial to receive text being lightly cut into the dial and filled with enamel, which is then polished smooth to lie flush with the dial surface. The result is a stunning contrast & smoothness of text.

Applied markers are used for all hours, except 12 & 3, which contain the day of week & date respectively. Luminous dots on the outside edge of the hour markers provide nighttime illumination, albeit very weak. The Breitling wings logo is also an applied marker, rather than a painted logo.

Legibility of the dial is extremely clear and easy to see. The applied markers are stepped, with the outside edges being brushed and the higher, center section being polished. Nightime illumination is by lume-dots above each of the applied markers.

Thanks Ian.

I'll be keeping my eye out for one those. Lovely watch.

No Nettunos or Tridentes? I'm surprised as their blues are beautiful.

[Neil.C]

Ah ha!

Queer yet amusing.

[pyramid]

I've always been fond of the 2255:

This is a beauty...great choice of blue.

[pyramid]

My only bluey

Suppose the Monaco would be a great choice for blue dial... and this Rolex is stunning.

[MattP]

This Seiko cushion case is my favourite blue dialed watch. But I can't capture how nice the face is in the flesh :?

[andyjay]

Either this classic...



Or this old thing - currently on a blue Toshi with orange stitching which looks the business...

[Omegamanic]

Mine would be the ice dial platinum day-date :)

[shaggy]

[Marc]

My favorite blue dial is my Breitling B1

[Jay]

First time I've ever been able to play this particular game, so forgive me :D

Having had the pleasure of trying this one on I can safely say this is now my favourite blue dial. Super 8) and that's before the even more 8) blue lume. Stunning.

[Jim:]

Nice little Avia :
