    For the love of the blues...

    I wanted something blue - somehow ended up with two...



    I was actually after the Chronoswiss initially, but the Bremont came up first, then I found a good deal on the Chronoswiss.

    Very different, but I love them both - let's see your blue dials

    My only blue watch, I really like it but it's not a keeper.

    I seem to have developed some kind of addiction to blue dial watches.

    current ones











    Some that got away

    My only blue faced watch, wonderful when it catches the sunlight, like it's alive.

    It's a lovely colour for a watch IMO.

    This one is VERY blue... have to say I don't wear it to often, but looks good in the blazing sun!




    I like the way the ChronoSwiss in the OP matches the date window to dial perfectly!

    Arrived today and I'm impressed with the colour used on the dial, darker than I thought which is what I prefer:

    I have quite a lot of blues at the moment
    2 Blue Tudors (Snowflake and lollipop)
    Bremont Alt1-P BLue
    Lorenz Sub Pro
    Lemania (like Sinn 140)
    Eberhard Cheftain Diascope
    I will gladly post photos of those if wanted, however, reading this thread title only made me think of one blue, my one that needs some love from Roger (McGyver) to re-finish the case. One of the coolest dial / indices combos ever, imho.

    Thanks for this guys; I've had a couple of blues in my time both now moved on. The first was an Omega, which I still miss and the second a Z blue, which I wore a couple of times, but found it failed on the basic of being able to tell the time with it - the joys of old age! Keep 'em coming so I can think about what to get next..

    I have mixed feelings about starting this thread...

    I thought I'd satiated my blue 'fix'

    ... with the beauties in this thread - now I'm not so sure

    Red face OK so I'm a week late in posting ....

    But allow me to lower the tone with one of my favourite 'Blue's.

    You really wouldn't need more than one with that in your collection, just perfect in every way. I'm drooling here.

    Hello

    There can be only one.

    The Sinn Arktis. Absolutely adore mine. It's the only one that has endured in my collection so far. It's the perfect size and very versatile.
