Feeling blue...

A blue watch that is! I am in search of a Blue themed watch, dial and strap, not interested in a bracelet.
Seen and tried on this Breitling Bentley. I like it, but would love to hear some other options too before I commit to purchasing.
Another consideration is the Blue dialed Blancpian FF and the Pam 224, 228, or 229 but cant find any of the Pams.
Thanks

I'm always down for a bit of blue. This one is my favorite blue dial with my favorite blue boots.

It looks good on you. You have massive wrists. LOL I would also look at the Navitimer as Tom mentioned. Tom, nice gift you got there.

The F.P. Journe Chronometre Bleu is very nice but I would think a lot more pricey

Yachtmaster blue dial is perfectly blue! Add a blue leather strap to compliment the platinum bezel!

They didn't have the Navi World in blue when I was there... That's actually what I was looking for.
The FP is too much and too small, the PP is not on strap and too much, the blue Yachty on strap would prolly look nice (anyone have a pic of this?) but it maybe a hair too small for what I'm looking for.
The watch will be for casual/dress down and not used for dress up. So, nothing too small and sleek, plus, smaller watches just won't work on me.

I don't love the bentley, a little to blingy. The blue navi above is awesome. But the blue FF is amazing...
