The Sunburst is my only blue dial, so I think it's the best of course!

But I have deeply admired the Yachtmaster I and OP39 blue dials--came very close to buying the latter a few months ago in Europe, where the weak Euro and VAT-return made it particularly appealing.

I'm feeling jealous! The dial options for the men's watches are amazing. I feel the DJ dials in the women's sizes are much more reserved! The Sub dial is awesome!

I personally think the sunburst blue on the 116613LB or 116618LB is the best blue Rolex produces. If you have ever held one direct in the sunlight or bright light its mesmerizing.

Day Date 40 White Gold



The shade of blue changes as a functon of lighting. Here it is in sunlight. It goes from a smokey bluish-gray to this bright chambray blue.
