Best blue dial ever?

[JPE]

I don't even own the 16613 anymore and I didn't even like to wear it that much. I didn't feel comfortable with gold and I prefer my steel 16610 version.

But isn't the 16613 blue dial one of the most beautiful dials ever made?

[kevkojak]

Gorgeous looking thing, great photo too.

Best blue dial ever? Hmmmm...
Slightly different price bracket (two zeros removed) but the Seiko Great Blue collection take some beating.

Slighlty different price bracket (one zero removed) but the Vostok Amphibia Blue Scuba Duda takes some beating.

There are many blue dials out there subjectively better at lots of prices like the Zenith defy classic, VC Overseas and JLC master, but it’s still a stunner.

This

For me it’s too deep a blue, almost too rich.

I prefer the 58 and the IWC. They are more subtle.

Get's my vote every time.

I quite like my Bulgari too....

[optix]

Best blue dial? Possibly you if are just looking into the Rolex brand of watches, out side of that not a chance

Few IMO that beat the rolex

VC overseas gen 3 all variations
Czapek ANTARCTIQUE SPECIAL EDITION
Patek 5396R
Patek 5740
Patek 5370P
AP Royal OAK Japan LTD
Lange 5740
FP Journe Chronomètre Bleu
GS SBGH267
JLC Q1368480
Moser have some great blue dials

[Ruggertech]

It may be, if you can see past all the gold text.

[Tetlee]

For me it was the electric blue Seamasters, no contest. Not my pic or watch....

[Stanford]

This one gets my vote:

I completely agree about the Seikos.

For me, the 16613 is far too gaudy. The colour scheme has always reminded me of the Gotheburg sailing ship from the 1700's.

[ASW1]

I think all the above deserves a vote. For me these are the ones...

[number2]

The only blue watch I have left, another for the chop next year

[Kippax]

For me this is perfect



I also own it’s brother again another stunner with the power reserve and date




I also believe the BB58 blue has a beautiful blue dial. This to some is a very mediocre watch. However to me is a must have great value watch.

Many candidates for this accolade, this one is mine:

[I a n]

My blue dials ...

[sish101]

I think the pastel blue of the first gen Halios Seaforth was lovely. Tried to get one of a few occasions but sadly the price seems to have escaped the sphere of reality.

[SeanST150]

I have to; I'm chucking in my latest acquisition. As standard with GS, almost impossible to photograph...

[minskii]

This one was pretty

[Jocke]

I have a few blue dials I like.

[Papa Hotel]

The otherwise almost entirely unremarkable Omega Railmaster:



Commonly erroneously described as "brushed", it's way cooler than that.

[waser]

Sold this a while back but this was the best blue dial I’d seen.

Agree with this, my wife has the lady version and it looks great.

The OP’s watch has always appealed too

[OldHooky]

This takes some breathing.

[tobywatches]

Amazed there's no Breitling here yet.
The first watch that got me into this mad world of ours was a Navitimer Heritage in blue. I never got it but that beautiful blue has cost me a lot of money since...



I'm also really excited to see Breitling's new "Ice Blue" Chronomat.
Such an unusual colour.

Got to be a top contender.

[Omegamanic]

Loving the Panerai.

Does anyone have a blue Moser Fume dial?

[trident-7]

Z-Blue Milgauss?

[mk1974]

Every blue dial on here is far better than the Rolex.
Everyone has an opinion and that Rolex is probably my most hated model.

Love the dial on my 1033.

Quite.

A few attractive ones.

Too hard for me to choose...





Lake Suwa coming in the next few days too. I'm a sucker for blue!

[Gavbaz]

Sinn 203 Arktis remains a firm favourite of mine. Just beautiful.

[11erv]

I have a soft spot for blue dials. The depth of the 5711 dial has long been my favourite, but my old 1600 comes a close second (very different shades of blue)

[GMT2]

Remarkable dial at this price point.

[numberjack]

Have had my fair share of blue this is my favourite

[leo1790]

I'd settle for the GO but the Moser has always looked fantastic in my eyes.

The midnight blue of the SixtyThree is pretty lovely, very dark.

[Mr Curta]

It's all subjective innit. Whilst I love the Arktis, I wish it had baton indices instead of numerals. The Panerai here all look fabulous.

This is probably the best of my bunch.

Now that is what I call class! Doesn't look cheap or glitzy.

My only blue faced watch.

Not a great picture, but the dial in the flesh really does 'pop' as they say.

[M1011]

I don't own this anymore, but always thought it was a great dial for the money.

[MartynJC (UK)]

I’ve had a few and some remain:

VC4500




Airking-date vintage

[JPE]

Wow... amazing watches.

A few more of mine... SMP Bond dial isn't actually blue but it's "blueish".
