Incoming! New Blue OP 134300 (pic heavy)

Stopped by my AD yesterday just to say hi and catch up. Asked casually if any of the new releases had arrived—he mentioned a few, nothing too wild… until I showed him a photo of the new Blue OP and asked if he’d seen it in person yet.

He gave me a sly smile, let out a little sigh, disappeared for a minute—and came back holding this beauty.

Love the the matte blue. Depending on the light (check the last pic in direct sunlight), it shifts between deep turquoise and this gorgeous blue-green.

Honestly, how was I supposed to say no? 😅

Very cool!! The first ‘live and on-wrist’ photos I’ve seen of the new release. I was able to snag a 124300 with blue dial just before stock dried up after the announcement of the new reference, as I thought I liked the sunburst dial a tad better. That said, these photos prove a new reality- both could live comfortably in my collection! Haha

It’s an absolute stunner. I’ve tried it on at my AD and was very impressed. Pictures do not do it justice IMO.

Congratulations

Definitely growing on me, I like that it even looks slightly different from picture to picture in your photos.
