TT Blue Sub C Sunburst owners

Looking at getting this watch!

Can you guys please post your best pics of the Sub C with sunburst for me?

I know many do not like the dial as a different shade than the bezel, but I have seen some photos where they match spot on, likely due to the light.

I'm interested to see just how dark blue the ceramic bezel is. I had the opportunity to buy the flat blue version, but wanted to hold out for the sunburst dial. And like it has been said here many times, buy what you like.

I do wish they introduced the sunburst first then the flat blue, only so there will be less sunburst dials out there, but oh well, can't have it all.

So again, if you would, please post you Sub C TT blue sunburst pics.

For those that currently own this watch, please tell me your thoughts on the dial/shade mismatch. While I'm already committed, would be great to hear other sub C sunburst owners' opinions.

Thanks.

Here are some pics of mine in AD lighting and in outdoor light during a trip last week to Thailand. You will notice the lighter colored bezel only when viewing from an angle (see pics) and only when the dial doesn't catch light to "burst". In most low light conditions the difference is not that noticeable.

Thanks. Awesome pics, just gorgeous. That bezel looks very royal blue in color.

Oh man I'm getting excited!

One day.... one day soon.

On the coloration.....I go towards dials that are not monochromatic. I really enjoy the MOP dials as they are very different in different light conditions. My black face TT Sub is not this way and I enjoy it too. The incoming 18K WG sub will not have the variations. I guess with that addition, I will be able to have it both ways on the blue. The sunburst dial and bezel will match with less light but most of the time it does not but radiates different colors of blue. I very much like it but am glad we have both to choose from. The watch could have been much cleaner in the picture.

The dial and bezel are just fine , no one ever complains about the colour differences between the fils and bezel of the Hulk .
Stunning watch 😃
