50 Shades of blue

[Jumpingjackflash]

Any suggestions of nice watch with blue dial?

I have always liked the bi-metal blue dial Submariner but Intried it on and did not like it. I thought the blue bezel and dial were too bright. I like the blue dial Omega Seamaster but would wait for the new movement and wave dial. The Royal Oak blue dial is stunning but very expensive.

Christ! Where to start?
Budget?

Yep, no need to spend a fortune. It's got a reliable auto movement, and the strap is superb. I got this for about £50. It's so nice AP have copied it



This is also a brilliantly made. 42mm, 200m WR, Swiss quartz movement, and very comfortable


Finally, the watch pictured is green, but this same watch comes in blue. It has an Orient solar movement, 41mm, 100m WR, and very well made


Of course, there are about a million others to consider

Milgauss?

My first lifetime watch, paid for by me, was the Breitling Superocean Heritage. I could have spent many thousands more but chose this because it just looks fantastic on my wrist (needs the mesh strap in my view too!)

You'd have to go used - and they're not easy to find - but I love my Breguet Marine Big Date :

I bought this a few weeks ago and am very pleased with it

Thank you for the suggestions. The Royal Oak would be my maximum budget. This has all started because I can not get a Daytona. I was looking at my collection and have not got a blue watch. I wear a lot of navy and think a blue dial watch can look very classy, smart and fun.

I tried this Jaeger on today. It was stunning. Not a blue dial but on the right theme.

One which I'm currently saving up to purchase for my 30th.

And one which I'm trying so hard not to pull the trigger on while saving... Can't find a purchase link but the Orient Star Blue GMT.

A left field choice, but I love my Bell & Ross BR03-04 Blue Steel:



However if your budget extends to an Audemars Piguet, perhaps look at the Glashutte Original Pano range ...

I saw one recently; a new Seiko watch. It's pre-order at the moment with delivery June/July I think. I think it looks great and I might well buy myself one this summer (although not sure it's actually a limited edition):



To be honest that's not a great photo. But you get the idea

Ah I've just noticed your budget is marginally higher than the cost of the Seiko. Probably ignore this then!! If you're going to that sort of budget then the Blancpain Fifty Fathoms is a beauty.

I have the previous model, it's a nicely understated watch from a top draw brand. I have had some problems with mine and Richemont were pretty unhelpful. I would not have it as an everyday watch.

Not a bad shout, and 72 hour power reserve as well.
