How Blue can you get?

As BB King once sang..How Blue Can you get?
[BB was a Rolex owner too!]

Here is my incoming..a new Bluesy Sub C!
A gName:  IMG_5001.jpg
Views: 1505
Size:  57.4 KBrail watch for sure.
For a year at least I was considering anything blue ...DJ 2 blue dial Roman, DJ 2 blue dial sticks [different hue of blue to the Roman version!], YM blue dial [wow], BLNR [blue ceramic bezel takes the all black version to another place].

The sunburst Bluesy C won out! If it was available in SS I would have gone that way to save money but the YG goes brilliantly with the royal blue dial.
The ceramic bezel goes a bit translucent in the sunlight and sometimes its colour matches the dial and sometimes not, depending on the prevailing light.

The many pics on Trf really enabled me I've got to say. It's such a photogenic reference the Bluesy. Many better photographers than I are on here too! Thanks to you all.

I'm walking around gazing at my watch now in the same way you see people everywhere gazing at their iPhones! The Bluesy is much prettier! [Maybe the phone gazers are watching a FS thread on Trf for a Bluesy though?!]

I took it on a holiday to Uluru aka Ayers Rock in the middle of Australia the first week...got the watch in focus then the Rock!
