Favorite Ice Blue dial watches?

So I feel like I need some Ice Blue in my collection (not turquoise!).

I can't afford a platinum Rolex or this Gronefeld but am looking for other suggestions!

I have an SBGA387 and it's a wonderful watch. Pictures don't do the dial justice. Unfortunately, it's a limited edition and prices have really gone up in the secondary market.

The Breitling Chronomat is not a bad option!

Thank you

Do you think it’s a different reference in Canada? I can’t seem to find 387, but I found 407 …

It was a limited edition release (only in US) of 558 pieces in 2018. It is no longer available now from authorised retailers and we can only buy from grey market.

Only one I've got is beyond your range so I can't add anything to the conversation. Good luck in the hunt for your Ice.

OP, how about this little known gem, the Cellini 5241 in platinum with a factory ice blue dial?

You can pick them up for between $9-12K with box and papers.

A thread like that needs a price limit. If you can't do the Gronefeld (and I can't either), I suspect the LF and most platinum Rolexes are also out of range.
