Ok a little dramatic, but ever since I flipped my Blue Pelagos and Blue Navitimer01 I feel a blue dialed watch is missing on the wrist.

Now I'm at a crossroads on which to get. I have a Pepsi and BLNR, and though the splash of blue is nice, I've always liked an all blue dial and bezel.

So I'm thinking probably the easiest solution is to reacquire a Blue Pelagos. I do love that watch and the main reason it was easy to part with to begin with, it didn't quite fit right on a bracelet, but I wouldn't mind giving it another chance on a strap.

In summary here are options I've been thinking about.

1. Pelagos as mentioned above.
2. Flip my dssd and get a d-blue dssd (draw back is the insert is still black, but the dial is a beaut)
3. Tudor Snowflake sub
4. Blancpain 50 fathoms with blue dial and bezel.
5. Other suggestions?

Thanks!

YG sub with blue sunburst dial is the way to go.

Danny83 · 14 August 2016, 04:21 AM

Get a pelagos again, or what about a 116613lb or 116622?

116619 or blue DSSD

Racerdj · 14 August 2016, 06:38 AM

This one should solve your problem!

I'm not a fan of reacquiring a watch you already had just on principle although I know it happens often on this forum.

DSSD deep blue isn't a bad option if you like the heft. Of course you can't go wrong with either 116613/116618/116619.

Good luck!

ap1 · 14 August 2016, 10:08 AM

This one?

JP Chestnut · 14 August 2016, 10:13 AM

Omega has a bunch of hugely depreciated blue divers if you want to go the cheap route.

DCheeta · 14 August 2016, 10:17 AM

Omega also makes some fine options in blue. The PO, for example, as you seem to prefer dive watches.

watchwatcher · 14 August 2016, 10:48 AM

Lots of great ideas already. I would perhaps add the DJ2 blue stick dial in the mix.

Totally agree about not re-acquiring the Pelagos....time to try something else.

In the diver arena, it would be one of these for me.

JohnLT · 14 August 2016, 11:05 AM

Go for it.

kilyung · 14 August 2016, 11:21 AM

The blue Milgauss is also interesting

AK797 · 14 August 2016, 11:31 AM

Blue YM is nice if you don't like gold but do the sunburst dial.

kilyung · 14 August 2016, 11:32 AM

Funny. Thread just reminded me of Carl. Haven't seen him post in a while.

maton12 · 14 August 2016, 11:57 AM

Really like the black dial Blancpain Fifty Fathoms, but the blue dial looks a bit too different

What about an Omega Planet Ocean GMT Good Planet - tremendous gloss blue dial

Scapegoat · 14 August 2016, 12:01 PM

DJII blue dial fluted bezel... Yummeh

Never was into PM, the 116613lb's sunburst dial is definitely intriguing though and will definitely be in consideration. My wife always shows me pics of TT that she thinks would look good on me. This was one of them.

Thx. I think I I'll pass on the pelagos again considering all the other options available.

The D-Blue will give you different colors from black to blue depending on the way the light hits the dial. I just can't stop looking at it.
