Blue

I am shocked everyone is saying blue. 3-4 years ago everyone was anti-blue.
Below is my first Rolex.

It wears nicely.

68camaro · 1 June 2013, 05:37 AM

I saw blue in person, pics don't do it justice.

rohardi · 1 June 2013, 05:39 AM

With out a doubt, BLUE. It will be my next watch. (Unless I change my mind and get a SS Daytona)

This is supposed to be a watch forum & I can't see a watch anywhere in that second pic.

Thanks for the info, I stand corrected.

Boopie · 1 June 2013, 11:33 AM

I have the original, and love it, but I also love silver-toned jewelry, etc. For me, a blue dialed watch would be too limiting for my wardrobe. That being said, I haven't seen the blue dial in person, and obviously those who have love it.

For any major watch purchase, buy what you're in love with as, presumably, you'll be wearing it a lot.

NGB185 · 1 June 2013, 12:12 PM

Hi all, I received my blue dial YM today from DavidSW...it is stunning. The dial has a sun ray effect when the light hits it...looks so much better in person, but I'll try to post a photo soon. The classic dial is a beauty too, but the blue with red second hand really pops.

shalako · 10 June 2013, 08:18 AM

Blue, it's put the YM back on the map for Rolex, having said that I was one of the few who liked the Plat dial too.

nauticajoe · 10 June 2013, 08:20 AM

Blue dial for me.

VicLeChic · 11 July 2015, 11:04 AM

Classic dial without hesitation. I really don't like how the dark blue dial clashes with the platinum bezel and the red second hand. I tried it on at my local AD, and that first impression never went away. Also I love the sparking effect of the sand-blasted platinum in the sun.

lzz73 · 11 July 2015, 11:34 AM

I like my blue but selling it tomorrow to fund my new BLNR.

One issue with the blue is that it's sorta the "three faces of eve." The blue really only 'pops' when the light is shining on it the right way. Indoors if not enough light the blue is duller. Overall I like it, but I'd rather have a more more consistent blue (maybe like the sunburst blue, or even the roman azul blue on the DJii).

globalmedia33 · 11 July 2015, 11:41 AM

Classic for me.

toocustom · 11 July 2015, 12:16 PM

Classic silver hands down. But I am absolutely in love with the new reference 116655 in everose gold.

jhe888 · 11 July 2015, 12:19 PM

I love the cool, clean, monochrome look of the original. A favorite of mine.

wayneside · 11 July 2015, 06:14 PM

classic

schwartz914 · 11 July 2015, 09:43 PM

Classic for sure

Blue btw...

ColRam425 · 12 July 2015, 01:26 AM

Definitely blue, though I do still love that platinum dial.

liuk3 · 13 July 2015, 12:36 AM

Get both!

TK-710 · 13 July 2015, 12:50 AM

I like the key.

Wait, I mean blue, I like the blue one.

NCbicyclerWristshot · 13 July 2015, 12:55 AM

Platinum dial is the only way go!!! It has the best look and can be worn with anything!!

A red datewheel will make it a little more perfect.

Great shot

red1108nyc · 13 July 2015, 01:22 AM

I really love the blue dial but not a fan of the robust bezel. Wait, a 2 year old thread? Love it!

timeisfathaoftruth · 13 July 2015, 02:31 AM

Blue, Blue, Blue!

Thought I would never own a YM, couldn't see the purpose over a sub. Then came the blue 116622. I tried it on and it was love at first sight.

If one likes blue and is not in the market for a WG Smurf, then the Blue 116622 is my choice every day. I believe it even costs a few pennies less than the classic.

The real question, however, is which do you prefer??

Ravager135 · 13 July 2015, 02:33 AM

Depends what you own. Nothing silver or white dialed in your collection? Get the classic. If you need something in blue, you have another option.

If I had to pick with no other consideration, I'd go blue. The blue, red, steel combination has that nautical primary colors vibe which speaks to the watches heritage.
