Blue is the new Black this year

Hi,

I've seen the above title in numerous magazines and blogs recently. What are your thoughts?

I see this trend not only with watches but suits as well. Some tuxedos from top notch Italian designers are made in a very dark blue instead of the typical black.

Blue is my favourite colour. I absolutely love your two blues. If only I had 2 wishes.
On the issue of needing a new phone. I got a new galaxy note 3 when it was released and it's excellent. I do a lot of work from my phone, emails and such so the multitasking is fantastic. You should check it out. The camera is great in good light. Not the best in low light but not bad. Cheers

I don't mind the blue trend. I have always loved blue on watches and actually prefer dark blue or navy suit over black anyways.

Blue is def back, baby, with the YM blue, Sunburst TT and Plat Daytona.

Mikes watch has the tags on it so I reckon its at the ADs. He just wore the Blue sub so they would let him try it on as its always tough for his type to get served!!! lol!
