I think they’re about the same, with the market tiebreaker going to the Green dial one. I’ve seen them both extensively at a boutique. They are both great. I am really hoping I can get the Green. In part, depends on preference for matte versus gradient dial.

What do you mean matte versus gradient dial

Do they have different finishing ,I mean do the blue dial have a different finishing from the khaki

The green dial is flat matte, which I personally love. The blue dial is more of an ombré dial that is darker at the edges (almost black) and then has more of a blue sunburst look (as opposed to a flat matte).

So you were speaking about the dial not the finishing of the case

Yes, that’s correct. Exact same case.

Tried on my buddies green one this week. Pretty cool. Haven’t seen the blue but I’d probably go blue.
Made me like my orange even more to be honest.

Neither color by my eye.

To me, glacier ice has both beat.
