Blue tone should be darker with a black dial, same with the Cermit, they shouldn't be using the existing bezels.

I’d love to see how bright that goes in direct sun.

Almost neon if that’s what it looks like under dealer lights

Well done Rolex... you get a pass on this one unlike SS SkD and SS Pepsi. I'm still hot about those.

Looks darker on the website. Thats unfortunate, the Tudor Blackbay with the same color scheme has a much better blue bezel imo. Plus this is is only in white gold? Not the hype blue sub people wanted I think.

Looking at this and some of the new OPs and Rolex is trying to go bright and loud with their colors. Not a fan

Now that ruins what could be a very classy piece. A very cheapy feeling blue. Don’t feel so bad that it’s not in steel now. Assuming this is legit

Rolex slapped an all purpose black dial on steel and white gold watches now.

I hear you mike. They finally did the PM owners a favor.

This is not an improvement on the smurf. Not at all.

Depends on lighting. Looks real to me...sometimes that bezel looks purple, royal, or navy. I just don't love PCLs. And the OP found the new models brochures before any one so he has cred

Really don’t understand why they removed the blue dial from this. Feels quite disjointed now, no connection between dial and bezel. Odd.

Even in SS I would not be interested since I’d rather the BLNR which gives me blue whilst also being cohesive regarding the dial / bezel.

My main concern is it looks that they are using existing bezel colours. That will make the new LV a real disappointment. Previously the saving grace was the dial, the bezel was the weak spot. For the black dial to work they needed go for a full, rich green IMO.
