Blue face - timeless?

[myk7000]

Hey guys - curious what you guys think. The Nautilus, Royal Oak, Chronometre Bleu, Blue Skydweller… These are all pieces that seem to be enjoying a huge surge in popularity and are all BLUE faced. In fact, they are outsold and way harder to find than any of the same models in other colors (white, black, etc.)

It seems like this is true with almost any watch these days, even blue Datejusts are out of stock and dress watches are showing up in blue much more than they ever were.

I’m curious to hear from folks here. In 10, 15, 20 years, do you think people will be looking at blue watches as a timeless thing? Or do you think they’ll revert to white, black (maybe silver and gold)? And blue will look less desirable and aesthetically pleasing in the future?

I love the idea of buying less watches but keeping them for LIFE, so am concerned about investing a huge amount into a blue watch to be a lifelong watch. But not sure if that’s a singular concern or if others share it.
