The dial on my GMT2 Pepsi is half blue. That's my favorite. :)

Cheers guys, I was wearing it today as a realtor was pricing up my mum's house, thought it might affect his valuation but he didn't even notice it, as he was a car guy and kept talking about us buying Porsches.

Thanks, my man, but I think the weather was the true hero! Looking at a pic like that makes me smile even on a crappy grey day like today.

The Sunburst is my only blue dial, so I think it's the best of course!

But I have deeply admired the Yachtmaster I and OP39 blue dials--came very close to buying the latter a few months ago in Europe, where the weak Euro and VAT-return made it particularly appealing.
