Rolex know how to do colors
I just love these colors. Of all my watches, I spend more time staring at the Rolex dials. They come to life in so many subtle ways depending on the ambient lighting.

What are your thoughts and favorite color combinations?

Post pics of your watches in the light.

It truly does. I briefly considered the new grey YM, but ultimately went blue. So glad I did.

I like the vibrancy of their blue dials, esp over the grey/blue Genta dials.

Much appreciated!! I have to say, once you have your black dials you really must have a blue dial. I love how they pop.

Correct. I love this zenith's black dial. There's a subtle richness to the smokey black that's difficult to describe.

Rolex dials do look amazing but I feel a lot of it goes to waste without AR coating on the underside of the crystal. Case and point: My SD4K looks like it has a glossy dial most of the time

IMO, the Blue Yachtmaster is the most underrated "sport" watch on the forum in terms of looks. A true looker--the combination silver/white platinum bezel against the dark yet vibrant blue just ROCKS. Reminds me of looking out of a boat on sunny day in the late afternoon in the Artic Ocean. : -) LOL
