good to hear
i've not seen it but i think it looks much nicer than the bog standard PT dial

Interesting... I always thought the bezel ring is made of PT also.

Is it me or do the lugs look like they have much more profound bevels than other new models?

Great watch BTW

I prefer the old platinum YM design but the blue dial is novel for Rolex in their lineup of predominantly neutral dials.

The last generation TT Sub, the Turn-o-Graph, numerous ladies and men's DJs and DDs have all had a similar, blue dial. Over the years, Rolex has offered almost every color under the sun, on one model or another. This blue isn't out of step at all.
