Need a Blue dial beauty from Rolex!

[Muzikman]

Ok guys it’s watch buying time finally… been waiting for it from long. I’m currently owner of one 2017 steel Sub date 40mm in black. Still love it to bits! Had bought that one as I thought it to be the most versatile watch and rightly so.
Now I want a Blue dial watch as blue being my favourite colour and it’s also pretty versatile in a way. I haven’t yet checked out with my AD about the availability of any but I’m currently confused between a few Blue beauties. About my BG, I’m a medium built guy with 6.7” wrist in early forties and who prefer casual dressing more. Jeans and tees or shirts are usually my daily wear. Wear my Sub currently only on weekends and occasions. So my contenders are:

1) Blue dial DateJust 41 with Jubliee and fluted bezel. This is probably the most versatile of the lot as being a DJ, it’s easier to dress it up or down. Also subtle yet elegant.

2) The Yachtmaster 40 in Blue dial. Had not considered this until recently. Wasn’t too convinced about it so… again, until recently. Now I think it’s a beautiful watch with a very striking dial and almost dressier version of the Sub. Just that I’m not so sure about the bezel yet. Is it striking enough as the dial in real life as I haven’t laid my hands on one yet or is it dull and less flashy? And is the bezel more scratch prone? The DJ fluted bezel is on another level comparatively I guess. You can spot it from far that it’s a Rolex, though that can be a bad thing also in today’s times. Also the Dial is same shade as the DJ but more sportier.

3) The New Submariner 41mm Bluesy in two tone. I love that watch. Looks royal. This shade of blue is probably unique to only this and the full gold model I guess. I don’t mind two tone either. In fact would prefer over a full gold any day as it’s subtle in comparison. When I bought my first Black Sub date in 2017, I had tried this but thought it’s too flashy for my first Rolex. And need a more versatile piece. So had thought that will buy this as my next one. Also since I have one SS, this can be a bit dressier for special occasions with the gold.

Ofcourse I love the Blue Skydweller also but it’s impossible to get from the AD so no point even thinking about it. Also I would hopefully like to keep it forever in my collection.

I’m in love with all three actually. Maybe more with the DJ and the Bluesy. Little unsure about the bezel of the YM40. Also I’m guessing these three are not extremely difficult to get and can be bought after a few months waiting maximum. I already have one sub so a DJ or a YM could be a change in a way. Then again, the bluesy is pretty different with two tone than the plain jane black sub that I have. Also I don’t like bulky (thick) and heavier watches much. So the DJ and the YM, both being 1.5mm slimmer and lighter is a nice thing. Two tone will be heavier than my current sub also. But I’m ok with that in a way coz of that amazing blue and gold combo.

Too much confusion. Sorry for the longgg post. What would you prefer and why? Help me make a decision. I’m thinking of going to my AD after maybe a few weeks to check out and see the situation. Thank you.
