Blue Dials

How many of you out there are as crazy as I am about blue dials? I have to confess that these pictures include some pieces that I once owned... Not in any particular order: JLC Reverso Bleu Ludovic Ballouard Upside Down Pam 80 Independent FPJ Chronometre ...  

I love blue dials!

Blue dials are probably my fave! What is weird though, is that I always end up buying white dialed watches! I can't figure it out! You have one of my favorite collections on PPro, and impeccable taste in watches. The PAM 80 is my grail Panerai. It's reall... 

Thanks Daos for the kind words....

I once had a dozen PAMs. The PAM 80 and 192 are the only ones that remain. Best Sam

The 192 is cool...

 
 By: dxboon : September 30th, 2013-21:13
...and one of the most interesting Panerai IMO. I slightly prefer the 172 perhaps. :-) Daos

Agreed on the coolness of the 192. On the wrist this is a magic watch.

The case, the grey blueish color of the metal, the centered subdials, and the Lemania Inside... a magic Watch. Best, Sister. Nicolas

How Blue is Seiko, Harry Winston, Bulgari and Piaget?

Some are mine but some are NOT - you can easily guess which ones are which! :-) MTF ...  

Thanks for chipping in Melvin

Let me guess....the ones that bling are yours? :P Sam

Naked skin

Nawwww..........the ones with naked skin visible are mine! ;) MTF

Very fan of the Reverso, the Radiomir Independant, and the 5070.

The JLC Reverso is my favorite of your set.

 
 By: MichaelC : October 1st, 2013-08:18
It is awesome. Here is a favorite of mine. The blue on this UN160 really varies with different light conditions. ...  

Very nice piece!

Great post Sam!

 
 By: optionc : October 1st, 2013-18:43
the JLC and PP are two of my favorites and the upside down in blue must be magical... Take care, OpC

. . . comes in blue, Sam: Omega's second-generation central tourbillon was offered with a blue-gold dial for a year or so, circa '01 - '02. Unfortunately, I can't find a single image of the platinum cased wonder. The closest analog I can share is this bea...  

I have to agree with you Art

WOW! You have all my dream watches!

 
 By: samwan : October 1st, 2013-17:00
And someone out there is crazier than I am :) The dials of the De Bethune and the LF are mesmerizing. Bet you can't take your eyes off them. Best Sam

A couple of mine over the past few years...

I very much enjoy blue dials... Cheers, Tim ...

Lovely pieces. Thanks for sharing Tim.

The Seiko grows on me too. Best Sam

Blue dials are fab

 
 By: jml_watches : October 1st, 2013-14:29
Hi Blue dials are fab & the shots you show are great. Here's a couple of mine Rather more basic than some, but the dials are still ace. The the dial on the Poljot is particularly vivid. Cheers JML ...  

They are both lovely....

Glad everyone is sharing their treasures. Best Sam
