I want a complete railroad track so I vote blue. Strange how the subdial diameters vary on these dials

I guess unlimited minor variations aren’t being cost-squeezed out at JLC unlike so many other places.

I would go for the blue. The dial seems more 'alive' than the burgundy which is more of a matt finish although your wonderfully taken photos indicate otherwise.
Burgundy too

It is more original as a dial colour than blue... and it reminds me of a nice French region too
My pleasure Nico

even though I voted for blue which I knew would lose - the burgundy is a newer watch and a boutique edition so that itself gives it an edge.
Ooof.

Tough choice. I like the burgundy for variety and with contrasting straps imagine it could really pop. But the blue is so well done, however there are so many blue pieces in this universe to choose from... so conclusion for me if I had to choose a reverse...
absolutely agree
By: Watcholic_id : July 29th, 2019-07:10
the green dial is stunning. it would be very hard to choose between the green or the red
Actually more...

Only because it matches my wardrobe better!

So much blue in the marketplace and the burgundy is beautiful in its own right
Burgundy....

If I hadn't had the Rouge already, I'll jump on the Burgundy.
Blue here too...
By: India Whiskey Charlie : July 29th, 2019-08:09
Knowing my color tastes, I would most likely tire of the Burgundy.
Burgundy for me..

.. as I’ve got blue covered with a latitude already - and red hues seem less prevalent in the back catalogue (rouge 1931 notwithstanding).. al

Mainly as haven't a watch with that colour dial & when I saw it in London it was rather special. Now if we are adding wishful thinking a Duo with a blue and a burgundy dial might work very well. Cheers JML
Having had the rouge,

it's most likely blue for me---but i'll have to see the burgundy in the metal to be convinced of adding another 'red'. Btw,the blue dial you showed seems to differ from the one Tyo showed in his post,so do we have a choice of blue dials?
Blue vs. blue?

Hi Nicolas — what is the difference between these two models (small seconds vs. duo), apart from the obvious difference that the duo has two alternative dials? Is the case size (or the main dial) different?
Hi, my friend here are some answers:
By: amanico : August 3rd, 2019-00:17
The Tribute Duo is bigger: 47, 8 x 28, 3 mm and 10, 3 mm high, and the dial is a bit different. Look at the small seconds subdial at 6, on the blue ( which is a Tribute Duo ) and compare it to the Red, which is a Tribute Small Seconds... You will also see...
Burgundy..

Goes well with the Art Deco aesthetic.. old world tone/color if you will
Burgundy for me
By: Ping.Timeout : August 3rd, 2019-02:14
Have seen both at local SGP boutique. For some unknown reasons, i am more attracted to the burgundy. But it’s a close call. I have say, under certain lighting conditions, the blue can appear as purple, which may not be my cup of tea. That’s just my opinio...
Somewhat unexpected outcome
By: keks : August 4th, 2019-01:35
Very interesting to see. Thought I was in the minority camp but suppose I am just like the masses
That’s for sure...
By: mahesh : August 4th, 2019-09:23
I’m waiting for an indie piece & then it would be the burgundy! Meanwhile I felt the itch to go something small...so couple of weeks ago I ordered a club 36 😜 - hope to get next week.
Forgot to vote!
By: Chromatic Fugue : August 20th, 2019-21:01
Blue for me. Burgundy is s fun novelty, but I fear the thrill would wear off. And I haven’t yet tired of blue dials.
I own the blue
By: Spiff : September 6th, 2019-06:55
and unfortunately (or some would say fortunately) I haven't seen the burgundy in the metal... yet ! The blue is a terrific watch, I really love it. But I think that I would be capable of adding the burgundy to my watch box. Some have written that there ar...
i've now seen both of these watches; my thoughts.
By: everso : October 16th, 2019-19:33
i think they're both beautiful pieces however i have a couple issues which prevented me from buying them... 1) i think the silver dial markers are just too shiny. They sparkle almost like diamonds; not something that suits my personality 2) the matching c...
