If you didn't, maybe you should ask your AD to let you look at the new Blue Sub outside in natural light to see how the blue looks. The watch is meant to be worn outside; right? I wonder how it would look out in the sun.
Thanks, Otto. Well, the first picture shows the WG Blue Sub in natural light. That's a showcase just near the entrance. The BLUE is indeed disappointing as compared with the BLUE of Bluesy. In fact, a BLUESY was there on display and I was able to compare them both side by side. The new BLUE is just not right!!

The DD-II is a must see, Otto. You will NOT be disappointed, I guarantee it!!

Will the platinum DD II ever come with fluted bezel? I would love to have both options, fluted and smooth bezels. The DSSD probably not for me. I have a 6.5 inches wrist but I am willing to try it on. The WG Submariner not for me either.

While the new DDII is very nice I'm happy with my current DD. I'm a big guy but the smaller size DD looks perfectly fine on my wrist.

I do agree with most everyone else. I think that shade of bluesy blue is Fugly. Big Mistake by Rolex if you ask me... When I think of Rolex I think beauty and sophistication. That watch has neither.
