Got the BLUES?

I got the "Blues" this morning in the form of a classic blue Submariner Date!! Pictures just don't do these watches justice, although I've seen some that come close. I'm just not able to capture the jewel-blue dial correctly.

Took this photo in the bathroom where the light was decent.



And one on the wrist...


Please share your BLUES if you got 'em! :)

Paul

Congratulations, Paul and great pictures, too - especially your wrist shot.

The Bluesy is a magnificent watch - enjoy yours for many years to come.

My son was with me at the AD a few months ago and I asked him to point to the Rolex he liked the best. I thought he'd pick the TT Daytona but he immediately pointed to Bluesy.
Good taste!
