Love the color. There's something about this shade of blue that allows the 'double baton' markers to fit in more naturally, like they were meant to be there. I am a big fan of the Oyster Perpetual line; the entire design concept is all about 'less is more'. I have two; the 39mm blue-dial with lite-green accents, and the 36mm blue-dial with the Arabic 3-6-9 markers. Hope you thoroughly enjoy your new watch. It's a beauty!!
