Rolex

I have ruled out the gilt dial because of the faux patina. ...  

because it doesn’t look nice on my wrist. But on paper and on other wrists it’s an appealing watch. Best, Emmanuel

Is aggressive and will limit your choices.

Or seen them side by side?

The other blue would be too much for my taste

Only from the pictures, I’m not totally sure about the blue on the new watch. It seems very shiny, very retro Rolex blue. The BB58 blue is less severe. Just 2 cents from the peanut gallery ! 😂 ...  

One reviewer said the rubber strap helps to balance out the intensity of the sapphire blue and I think that is an interesting observation which I will explore in person. Is that BB 58 yours?

I’ve had it since it was released but honestly it doesn’t get worn much. I keep meaning to buy the fabric strap for it which I think will give it a bit of a new life. I just wore for the first time since summer 2024 a few weeks ago. Crazy. I know.

The BB58 BLUE is one of many “slow burn” watches I admire more and more. I recently seen one on a blue Tudor NATO strap that not only looked amazing but would fit more snug than the bracelet would.

… but they are not trying to appeal to me!

Is the blue the only one in the running now?

But, I am not in any hurry!!
