Another recommendation for the Journe CB. Arguably the most dynamic blue dial watch in production today

I’ve overused this pic recently and I am biased

But I do love this dial more than any other. I have a few coloured dials on various watches



I will admit I’d LOVE 010 5711 if one would turn up soon

The dial is the most dynamic I've ever seen. No filters in these pics.

That said, I understand the size (or brand) isnt for everyone.

There was one for sale here in TRF not long ago.

The Lapis Lazuli dial on a day date is the best blue dial.

This blue VC Overseas. Lacquered using an old Japanese technique, or so the salesperson said.

I've owned many blue-dialed watches through the years, including several above, and I love the new blue-dial 126234 DJ, which i own, but nothing beats this VC dial.

It can certainly “go dressy” if you want (tho I usually wear it with jeans), and I believe there’s a YG one still FS here on TRF!

I have a both the yellow gold and white gold blue dial subs. But I still think this lapis blue dial takes the cake!

Well..... Definitely blue TT Sub.....

Blue represents the blue color of the sea....

Yellow (gold) represents the yellowish color of sand and rocks...

The illuminated markers inside the dial as well as the one on bezel represents the shiny sea pearls...

First choice; The blue dial WG Daytona. It can be dressy or sporty and low key...not in your face.

Second choice The blue Sky Dweller. Also, sport/dress.

Can‘t say that for the others.

I vote Bluesy. The blue DJ2 or DJ41 is not bad, either.

That is indeed a beauty I had the pleasure of trying one on and it’s very difficult to describe that dial.

depends on your budget and what you can source.
Within the Rolex family, the YM blue dial is hands down the best shade of blue IMO.

They look great in pictures, didn't like them IRL though.

Best blue dials IMO are Bluesy and DJ41 sticks blue (not Azzurro Romans).
