Evening all.

I have decided that I would like a watch that is blue in some shape or form. The face, the strap, the case etc. Something tasteful.

I'm not sure where to start, I just fancy something blue!

Any ideas or examples to inspire, either ones you have or ones you want to have? Let's say up to a thousand pounds, new or used.


Cheers.

Or a Seiko Sumo? Here is mine:



Are you after a dive watch? Or something a bit more dressy?

I personally think a Tudor Submariner would make an excellent choice too:

Thanks folks for the other examples, some good food for thought there.

That Sinn looks STUNNING in the flesh, far better than the pics suggest. I will own one, one day!

That watch, with that strap, is pretty outstanding.

Any links to any for sale?

(wallet pain incoming...)

Try Neil @ Chronomaster.

£1400 on a bracelet, slightly less on leather IIRC.

STUNNING.

Some of you chaps have fantastic taste.


Some gorgeous examples here. There's barely a rum one amongst them.
