This is more a sapphire crystal reflection but the matte black Explorer dial seems to be some kind of Azzuro:

Then take one that does! Moonphase speedy is indeed ridiculous to look at in person.

I just mean in general it's hard to capture how stunning the dial is with a photo. It's so dynamic and always changing in the light.

What a difference the sun makes
Blue speedy dial is a nice blend of light and dark similar to the subs and dress Rolex.
The yatch master rhodium I think is like the OP39 quite dark. On the DJ 41 I believe rhodium is a lot lighter. Also the black dial DJ 41 I believe is lighter than the dj2 black dial. In the light on the new black DJ41 you can see more details in the dial.

What do you guys think?
