Reply With QuoteYou could try an Armida A9 - comes in a rather fetching shade of blue and the quality and service is great for what you pay.
As many watch nuts out there I currently have an itch to scratch
OCD also plays a part in this quest.... my 4 watch winder currently has room for 1 more automatic watch and it needs to have a blue dial and/or bezel
my current collection is an Original Pelagos, SD4000 and a Seamaster 300, I don't dive but obviously I like the style.
My time on TZ has opened my eyes to many brands I otherwise would never have come across, Armida, Obris Morgan, Orient etc. and I'm sure there are many more out there...
I'm currently considering a Seiko Prospex SRP581K
but before I go for it, what else might I not know about but should consider? needs to be Blue dialed or Blue bezel and similar ££'s to the Seiko
cheers

How about a Blumo?
Cracking watch, and lovely shade of blue too.

I was going to say Blumo, wasnt sure how much they were these days
Love them though
Im a rubbish photographer.....Here is a pic of mine............but the blue is a lot nicer in real life than in my pic!
Blue turtle would be my choice.
I do like the Armida and Seiko definitely in the running,
the new Turtle is quite nice, after a quick search I can't find the 'Blumo' SBDC003 for sale currently
They are much sought after, and rarely sold once acquired (for good reason!)
Any blue watch but a Blumo or blue monstrosity.Totally agree. The Blumo is almost impossible to beat
Go for Ch. Ward or any other micros.
There is one here, and from a highly recomended seller.

The 'facelift' model is SBDC033
I'd go for the SRP773, blue Turtle reissue.

The SBDC033 is OK, but I'd personally rather not have the ProSpex X on the dial.
I do like the look of that,
the Prospex X doesn't bother me either way, out of all the Seikos though the monster still appeals most
I can understand that. I must have had 20 Monsters now - different dials, generations, on bracelet or on rubber, but none have lasted.
The Sumo, to me, looks and feels superior.
Precista PRS3 LE.
Timefactors picture:
Have to be used, as out of stock.

decision made...kind of
some good suggestions
as good as the new and old 'Blumos' look they are more than I wanted to spend on this one,
the Precista is nice but the Dial/bezel look too busy for my liking, so I look back at my original choice the Prospex Monster and decide the same...it's too busy
so after searching the forum I come across the Seiko SNZH53K and thought this could fill the void, crap bracelet maybe (?) but worth a punt with a rubber or nato so ordered yesterday evening to give it a try...roll on Monday
Sorted... my new SNZH53 arrived and I'm more than happy, my itch has been scratched on this one
glad I changed from my original choice of Prospex Monster and while the recommended 'Blumos' would have fit the bill the price went against it.
Seiko arrived and first impressions were/are spot on for the money.
The colour of the blue dial and bezel is just what I was looking for, with subtle changes depending on ambient light
The bracelet may not be the finest but suits and is more than adequate, the bezel 'clicks' aren't perfectly smooth and lume is minimal on the hour markers, still I think it's spot on for the price paid
I ordered an Obris Morgan isofrane style strap to go with this which arrived very quickly and was excellent value for money, unfortunately was too long.
A ZuluDiver replacement was ordered yesterday and received this morning which was speedily fitted and is perfect
so that's it, watch winder full, 2 black 2 blue OCD sorted...job done
