This is way by far the best Bluesy, the new model looks like a bad fake.

I agree, they are all so perfect, I absolutely love the Rolex sub dial. That is why, no offence to anyone, that I am so perplexed as to why the cyclops has the following it has. Look at that dial, it is one of the reasons that I love Rolex, it just makes me smile. Why do people enjoy the fact that one side of it is all blurred by the cyclops, oh well, everyone has different tastes and I appreciate that. Still, if you put a no date next to a date, the no date looks so much cleaner and symmetrical, I'm surprised they don't outsell the date versions 10:1

I agree Jay, Rolex did well on that one. IMO, it's one of the most beautiful watches, Rolex has ever made.

I am wearing mine today. It was my first Rolex; did not even consider any of the other models.

That really is a gorgeous watch, Chris B.

I don't think we could ever get fed up of seeing it - the Bluesy seems to get better and better, particularly when compared to the new White Gold and Bugatti Blue Sub, that seems to be a bone of contention on the Forum.

Rolex should only use this color for all it's blue dials.

In particular they should replace the blue dial on the existing yellow gold Yachtmaster with this dial and of course the new YG sub.

I think they should also offer this dial on the Platinum Yachmaster.

IMHO, the matte ND Subs and Explorers are the most perfect dials. Totally symmetrical without the date and cyclops, with the perfect finish. The blue is pretty, though.

I believe the TT Sub still will have that dial, not the WG version.
