Recently we have quite a lot posts related to watches in white metal and with a blue dial. What is it all about?
Grey was the new black, blue is the new grey? The blue ones, why are they so tempting - recently?

I don´t have an answer for now, but looked at the watches "stored" on my computer. Some of them are limited, some are regular production.
Some of them are sought after pieces, hard to get and highly priced. Some are available for a "bargain". Some ...

The idea I have in mind is a roll call for all those watches, no matter which brand or watchmaker.

I will start here in the HoMe-Forum with some examples, followed by some more in the brand specific forums and then it´s up to you to add what ever you have.

I am looking forward to see as much as we can find and maybe it helps me/us to understand why they are so tempting - again/recently

Here we go with (some of) mine - in alphabetical sequence:

So, now it is up to you to add!

Key Points from the Discussion

Jaeger-LeCoultre produced many big, bulky, and blue watches in the early 1970s, demonstrating a historical precedent for the appeal of blue dials.
Vintage blue dials are showcased, including a first vintage watch, an early automatic Carrera, and an El Primero A3818, highlighting the enduring charm of blue in historical pieces.
Patek Philippe's blue dial watches, particularly the 5070P and the Worldtime platinum, are noted for their strong aesthetic appeal, with the 5070P being described as an 'aesthetic bomb' on the wrist.
The contributor expresses a personal affinity for blue, extending beyond watches to straps and clothing, and shares their own blue-dialed watch and wish list items.
The Omega Platinum Central Tourbillon with a blue gold dial is cited as a highly desirable piece, with the contributor willing to trade their entire collection for it.
The Rolex Yacht-Master is presented as a strong example of a white metal watch with a blue dial, showcasing various shades of blue.

Wow, Oliver....your "some" can qualify for a boutique of blue dialed watches! Amazing collection and it took a while to scroll through it and admire them one piece at a time. Someday.....for now, only these.... Richard

Similar to one already posted, but a little different. Love it, and just getting ready to take a trip with it.
