Which blue is best?
Sunburst or Turquoise?

Sunburst - the datejust blue might be the most popular ever.

I was able to see and try the "bright" blue (darker blue) at the AD last month. I found a problem with it, it turns into a washed out denim blue when the light hits it. I didn't like that drastic change at all. Have a look at the picture below, bottom right. This is exactly what I saw on my wrist. Definetly discarded as far as I'm concerned, but YMMV.
I haven't seen the turquoise / Tiffany's / Miami blue yet but it's a strong contender with the yellow dial. (picture from Beth Tee, YouTube) |

It must be different than the datejust. That blue is perfect. Must be something about the OP lovers because the blue comes out on top of every poll in the datejust model. My wife likes the turquoise. I like the look of the color but wouldn’t wear it.

Turquoise too ! You can find the other blue on this OP or DJ, YM when the turquoise is unique in the lineup

Based on the photo only - the Sunburst.
It looks the same as the one on the DJ and Sky-Dweller. One of the sale reps in my AD said that the Turquoise is amazing, but I have not seen it in real life. |

Impossible to answer! Miami pops more but can’t ever say a color way is better than the sunburst blue.

For my personal collection? Turquoise - I have it on order.
For a one and only? Sunburst.

Both blues are beautiful. I prefer the turquoise on the OP41 and the sunburst blue on the DJ41. Cant go wrong with either one.

All different shades of blue but granted they're quite similar between each other, as opposed to the turquoise blue.

Myself and my wife tried them all on at the weekend and the Tiffany blue was amazing in person.
