Rolex/Tudor give nod to the blue Snowflake

I love it when heritage models are introduced which show appreciation to special watches in history. Sometimes they don't always come off just right and time will tell for the new blue Pelagos but if you have the original, you're not really overly concerned. Let's see em. By the way, I kinda like the new one but modern watches don't have the soul of vintage.

Beautiful Doc- as I think I've mentioned to you, those old Blue Tudors are some of my favorites. A birth year 76100 is on my short list.

This one has had a little more, umm, hard play. Still the daily driver.

How about two vintage blues...

with the new Blue Pelagos.

We were really impressed by the new blue - great watch especially with the new movement!

Doc-

Couldn't agree more. I do like the new Blue Pelagos introduction today at Basel.
But this is my cup of tea. Love my 94110 from 1981.
