Hopefully experts can chime in for you.
Yes, I found a few discussions about it but couldn't find any references to the date when the change was made. No big deal really, I'm just curious about why and when it was changed.
Thanks!

Man I love the blue dial! That was my biggest decision once I decided on the YM - standard platinum or blue dial. In the end I went with the plat as I wanted this watch to stand out a little less, but can see myself getting the blue down the road

Tried on the 35mm Platinum at a couple of ADs this week-beautiful watch.
Seriously tempted.
Telling myself I don't need another watch right now.
