I gotta get one of those someday.

Dan...great pair.

kilyung · 5 February 2018, 02:02 AM

Perfect combo Dan. Enjoy them! Oh and the blue is closest in color to lapis lazuli sometimes also called ultramarine.

Smurf blue is different than bluesy. Bluesy is more metallic and shines. Smurf blue is more flat in appearance,.

Fantastic watch! I must say that it looks even better in person than it even does in your great pictures.

VicLeChic · 5 February 2018, 02:58 AM

true blue

Thermophilus · 5 February 2018, 03:16 AM

Great duo! Love the "smurf" despite it's hilarious nickname

GFONG · 5 February 2018, 03:20 AM

Great pair. Congrats!

lamnyc · 5 February 2018, 03:39 AM

Heavy hitters.

Cru Jones · 5 February 2018, 03:43 AM

Other experts can correct me but I believe the smurf and bluesy are different. The bluesy has a sunburst dial whereas the smurf is more matte.

That Blue is outstanding, really, really "pops"....that's a keeper - congratulations!

datejustrms · 5 February 2018, 04:33 AM

Real nice!

superstarmar · 5 February 2018, 04:44 AM

Wowsers!!!! Very nice !!!

AK797 · 5 February 2018, 04:46 AM

Lapis made a nice blue for Dutch painters, esp when mixed by Scarlett Johansson.

Dougiebaby · 5 February 2018, 05:28 AM

Three WOWs ... one Wow for the Pepsi ... one Wow for the Smurf ... and one Wow for the Peroni (my fav)

Enjoy all three :)

Really enjoyed this thread. I just got mine Wednesday. It’s only come off to shower and sleep. It’s easily my favorite watch. I traded a Pelagos and a SD43 for it and don’t regret it one bit. The combination of blue dial and blue ceramic bezel are absolutely stunning in pictures, but even better in person.

That’s gorgeous. I’ve been thinking about the bluesy in two tone but that’s a great pic to support it in SS

The BLRO's much more under the radar than the Sub' so it'll probably end up being the Pepsi for work and the Smurf for weekends....

Stunning!! Great Pair. I one day hope to add the BLRO to my Smurf but it is a ways off!

Very cool Mike

Thanks for the education

encarter13 · 6 February 2018, 01:23 AM

Such a beautiful watch. Really stands out!

Speed · 6 February 2018, 01:30 AM

Nice Dan!
Great to see your post

Twisted Vicar · 6 February 2018, 03:26 PM

I've been thinking recently that the BLRO would be my next big purchase of the year, but but every time I see the Smurf I start to doubt my decision.

Thanks for the side by side.

No SUBctitute · 6 February 2018, 03:31 PM

That blue is phenomenal on the Sub!

I wish they made a poor man's smurf.....a Tudor Black Bay in Tudor Pelagos Blue or Sub Blue. The Smurf Blue is phenomenal, but I'd "settle" for others.
