I saw this recently at an AD and was impressed with the grand feu blue enamel dial! The movement is so so (ETA I believe) but the case size and design and lugs shapes are very nice and suits my small wrist. Case is steel and great value! The blue dial is ...

To be honest, some pics you took years ago (I copy them here again) really brings up the beauty of the blue dial!! Seeing your pics poison me on this watch even more! Cheers Robin Pic by Fx Pic by Fx ...
as I saw this one in Paris lately, even if it's with a different dial: The shapes of the different elements and the dial are superb. The movement as you say is "so so"... The blue seems gorgeous. Cheers, Mark
but passed on it, even though as you've said, the blue is superb...I just couldn't see how often I would wear it as the beauty and the way it plays with light is also its setback for a versatile wear. And the date...does it have to be there? And in a whit...
I agree with Richard N. More than once was I tempted with this beauty. The price is right and it's a looker. I have a thing for blue-dialed pieces. However, I too wonder how often I would wear it when up against others in my collection. Have you considere...

I have a Patek nautilus 5712 in grey-blue but it's not a blue like this one for the more fun days. But agree if I have the PP already maybe I don't need another blue dial :) Although this is in enamel and looks so nice!! Arghhhh... Tough to decide :) Chee...
Not your fault, it is just that that dial can only be seen in the metal to be truly appreciated. It is stunning. I have admired it from afar and from close. I too had been tempted and have mercilessly hinted to my wife that I would like that watch (dare I...

Indeed I do like the dial and like you, I have the same thoughts on whether it can be a tad flashy or not. But with all my serious looking watches, this one can be a nice one to have when I want to have a fun evening for eg. Alot of my collector friends a...
think, "what were you thinking when you bought that?" Who cares? I loved it, it spoke to me, it meant something to me. I have had similar conversations with very dear friends about some of my watches and I said thanks but my heart won out. If we all liked...
end the conversation. We do have one painting that I liked and my wife didn't - the painting is now squirrelled away in the garage not seeing the light of day. "I like it" - it's a go "It's okay" - a point of negotation "I don't like it" - conversation ov...
I definitely agree the date spoils what could have been even more spectacular. However, I'm not sure it is a complete deal breaker. You are still getting a superb and unique dial. If it comes at a great price, perhaps you can accept that trait? I have enj...

Actually no watch (or very very few of them) is perfect on all accounts I'm getting over the date window slowly :) The blue dial is just one to die for! :) Cheers Robin
be stunning !! Robin, I now realize and understand that you prefer mono-color enamel dials, just like the one on your Montblanc Villeret. Me, I am the opposite and need motifs on enamel, as you might have already gathered. Hard for me to advice whether yo...
is a YES IMHO, but I feel it grabs to much attention away from other aspects of the watch. If you like attention, then that is the perfect selection :)
