While you can’t go wrong with any of the options you listed, the 5711 is a completely different ball game. Just in terms of blue, if nothing else.

5711, Sky Dweller, DJ41 stick or diamond. I couldn't get the first two in a reasonable time frame so I got the DJ Blue diamond dial. Currently on the waiting list for a blue SD. I got the DJ41 jubilee with diamond dial so it would look a bit different than the SD if by a miracle I get it.

I personally find this gradient blue dial the most attractive.

The blue on the 5205 is also mesmerizing.

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.
Wow! That's stunning!

The VC definitely just made its way to the list!

That is a delicious pairing of watches. I own neither but would probably swap my whole collection for those! Great photos of them - thank you.

The best blue dial has to be from H Moser.

How poetic! ;-) Did you make that up or is it really what Rolex thought of to design the 16613? A bit like the dial of the JC DBSD that represents the darkening bottoms of the ocean...
