Reply With QuoteGO Seventies with blue dial.. There was one on SC a few weeks back, great looking watch..
So, what have I missed over and above a Nautilus (not vfm IMO), AP RO (undecided on 15300, 15400 or 15202) and YM 116622 (trying one tomorrow) Any other recommendations?

I'm sure there was a thread recently about a new VC Overseas Chrono with a blue dial ?

It's pic from the net, but I have been thinking about going for one soon, I think.You been shaving your arm?
Breguet...?

It looks 'too bulky' and the fluted bezel does not suit 42mm case, much better on 36mm case.
a
blue aquaracer? - i think they look good.
This one:
I think that's a good looking watch and I'm a fan of blue dials.
If the money was no object then I would try this before I bought anything else. Slightly more vfm I guess is the lovely type XX limited edition above at around 4k or so, or the new Aqua Terra which I like lots.This one:

I agree, that's why it's on a 41mm case.

How about going vintage?

It's safe to say that I like a blue dial, here are some I've had, and a couple that I would like (YM Blue and AT)
I like a blue dial. And the Arktis is simply beautiful.

Entry-level blueness.
A 70s Oysterquartz so blue you'r like to dive into it...
How often do photos flatter reality?
it's deceiving the blue dial looks best in photo and the white/silver dial the worst and the black dial in the middle.
imho however having handled all 3 in the flesh because of the texture of the dial, the Silver/white dial looks the best and black dial second best and the blue dial last! The blue dial looks 'inept' neither light or dark.
Partial to a bit of blue myself
French Bleu that is.

Just to make sure I understand this post - Are you specifically talking about the VC Overseas?
I think you could be right about this particular one, though frankly, when a watch looks this good (that bracelet is just soemthing else!), I think any dial colour would look great.
The blue colour on this does look a little, well, flat? compared to some.
Blue dial Zenith Rainbow El Primero
I quite like that Longines, but this thread is proving to me that on the whole I'm not a fan of blue dials...
I have found one more:
Blue on a grey day:
Watches of Switzerland have various Zenths at reduced prices at the mo, including this one.

which i think looks very lovely.
and also this one

Yes specifically the VC Overseas chrono though it equally applies to the AP RO 15300 as well because that has a lovely texture to the dial.
I have a blue Navi and the blue dial 'shimmers' and does not look 'flat'
Well, as far as blue dials are concerned, my choice now goes quite firmly to the new YM 116622. Tried it on today at my AD, and found it just beautiful. The dial changes from light to dark depending on exposure to light, rather like the LV sub. The YM no longer looks washed out in the same way as the rather monotone platinum dialled version. The clasp has been upgrarded to the GMT C version, which is much weigthier and therefore gives the piece an excellent balance in the hand and on the wrist. My only concern is the price tag (just shy of £7,700) and residuals. Decisions, decisions!
These are pretty representative pics -

This pic doesn't really do it justice. I had one of these myself, but sold it on.
How about the blue Speedmaster? I don't see many people with them on forums.
love that longines verv what is the model number?
I've not seen a blue dial one of these before, it looks nice. I actually forgot until I saw that photo that I had a black dial version of one of these Speedy reduced things. I hated the watch and moved it on fairly quickly.How about the blue Speedmaster? I don't see many people with them on forums.
Something for everyone.
Love the Speedsonic on the mesh :)
Something for everyone.
Perhaps a little over the top with its blue strap as well ....
