Show us your blue dial watches.

[FLwatchguy73]

Since I've been a member of this  forum for a while now, I have noticed that other than the standard dial colors of black, white, grey, gold and silver, blue seems to be the color of choice for many of us here in WRT. I have always been attracted to blue dial watches,  especially since it's my favorite color. Here are mine. Please feel free to share yours with us. 

Blue dial watches are on top, and blue accented watches on the bottom.

1978 Timex Falcon Eye

1979 Timex blue tv dial

70's Sicura Satellite 

1973 Timex Mercury

1980's Seiko Quartz diver

1978 Timex Sprite

Modern Invicta automatic Pro diver

70's Benrus Citation with blue accents (electronic balance movement)

2010's Fossil "Moden Machine Automatic" blue accents

70's Timex, 21 Jewels with blue accents

1973 Timex Marlin with blue accents.

Here are a few more. I'm sure I have others. At least one HMT, and a couple more Timexes but this will do for openers.

[AndyHull]

A couple of Adrems, a Franken-citizen and a franken HMT, a probably genuine HMT, a Seiko Titanium and a Sindaco. I'll have another trawl through the service and repair folders and see if I can find a few more when I get a spare moment. All of the ones I've shown are working. I may have some donors with blue dials too.

There are a couple more blue dialed examples in the pipeline from ebay too, including another Ingersol. I'll post them when they have arrived and I have them  working.

Handsome Rolex! As a rule,  I'm not a fan of your standard Rolexes. But I've seen 3 in the last week that caught my eye,  yours is one of them. 

[AndyHull]

The Milgauss models appeal to me more that the Rolex divers, and that is a particularly nice example.

I'm more likely to find myself dealing with strong magnetic fields and high voltages than 300m of water.  That model in particular with the smooth bezel and the blue dial really hits the spot. I think I'd need to blow my normal budget a little bit to add one to the collection though.... but that blue dial may be the temptation that breaks my normally steely resolve.   

The 2007 version for example or this 2014 mode (Rolex Milgauss Blue 116400GV)l, are just quirky enough to fit in nicely with the other 404 club members, with their blue dial, green crystals and red hands.. maybe I could give it honorary membership... who would know? Very tempting.

I love the blue dial. The black dial not so much.

[yankeedog]

More of a subdued  blue.

If I could find that a sterile dial like that,  I'd totally build a watch around it. Love the stingray strap! 

[Redwood]

Stingray isn’t the easiest leather to work with, it’s like trying to cut bone, a more desired effect is if you sand it down and polish it, the skin takes a completely different form

[Burnetten]

Very nice.

A few more recent blue dialled members of the 404 club.

Here is my only blue. TISSOT SEASTAR AUTOMATIC

[MarkK]

OMG: I really like that sapphire blue Seiko in the row of 4 watches above - So very attractive...

I'll show you my Sturmanskie 31659 military pilot in turquoise blue... (photos taken by the seller)

 

[MarkK]

Although, this watch may not count as a "blue watch", well maybe just a little bit...

Here's my Poljot 'Civil' 3133 chronograph. Probably made in the 80s (USSR). 

The lunette is dark-blue surrounding the champagne sunburst dial. (The photo was taken by the seller.)

Thank you, all four watches are 4100 series and date to 1975/6, they bear little resemblance to the normal 'chunky' quartz analogue watches of the mid 1970's and initially I had thought that they were mid 1980's but research showed that the movement was indeed 1970's only and examples of them can be found in the Seiko 1976 JDM catalogue, where they were selling for about 50,000Yen (The 6105 divers watch, in the same catalogue, was only 20,000Yen) . You don't see them very often, other than in Japan,  as I think that they were mainly for the Japanese domestic market....

@JohnD, The Seiko Quartz's are STUNNING! So are the 2 Timex's. I'm glad I'm not the only one passionate about blue, lol.

I have a passion for blue. Here are a couple of mine.

One that Omega did, the other that I cobbled together myself.

Love that Omega

[ccmjd]

So do I, it's absolutely stunning, and yet somehow understated.

This is my Omega Seamaster Titanium Chronograph, very accurate and a daily user. I even take it diving with me!

I have a soft spot in my heart for almost all things Omega! Gorgeous watch!
