Christmas miracle

For the longest time I have said the only two tone watch I would ever wear is a Bluesy. When I heard of the January price increase I took a chance and reached out to my AD. Shortly after I heard back and was told to pop round when I am in the area. The following day I picked up my Bluesy. I still can't get over how beautiful this dial is.

I didn't even have to remove a link, with the glidelock on the smallest position the fit is perfect for now, winter time I might remove a link and adjust the glidelock. I think I still prefer the gold font on the previous model, but in person the white font looks great and the redesign of the bracelet/lugs looks really good on the wrist. Over the moon

I'm a sucker for a blue dial and like you said this one of the best out there.
