New Sunburst Sub at the Pool

I can't get over how this watch changes in color depending on the lighting.

What I have found is that it would be very difficult to get a bezel color to match a dial that is constantly changing.

and it never will with the ceramic insert....that is another downside of the new bezels.

I prefer the flat lighter blue dials. But happy for those who appreciate the change. Enjoy!

See, I prefer the new dial.

Much more special than a flat one. Looks like they stayed at the drawing board a little longer.

Congrats!

Hard to capture the beauty of the watch w a camera lens.

Might be a job our resident photographers w expensive lenses :)

I'm almost tempted to part with two watches to buy this bad boy. Nice photos.

Dial is beautiful but as has been said the bezel didn't seem to sync with the dial as well as I had hoped when I wore it, while on the YM the blue dial brought out the platinum bezel very nicely.

Wow...ok, after seeing these pics it's a beauty. Stunning, dial changes with different angles of light. Kinda like the LVc ? I've asked this before but maybe the dial process is physical vapor deposition..

Have to agree perfection has been reached.

Blusey 2.0 is one of the best looking watches out there.
