I'm so glad this topic popped back up. I'm new here and hadn't seen it. Blue is probably my favorite dial color, in contention with champagne.

Even so, looking through my collection I appear to only have 4 watches with blue dials. Then again, my collection seems like it's probably puny compared to some of you here.

In order of acquisition:

Seiko SNKK45 ("Seikonaut"):

Grand Seiko SBGA375 (it's hard to coax the blue out of this one - it looks black most of the time - had to get in bright sunlight for this picture):

The crystal on this 404 club blue dialled Accurist got swapped this evening, so I figured it was time to show off the improvement. 

It is a complete smudge and dust magnet now, as you can see. No sooner had I popped it on my wrist than it was sporting a big thumbprint and some instant air bourne speckles. Despite all that, the blue dial is pretty impressive without all of those distracting scratches.

Here it is under the inspection lamp, with the old crystal for comparison.

    • Hi all, I have a lovely Favre-Lueba dress watch from late 70s/early 80s in a stainless steel case.  Its an unusual curved rectangular case and crystal.  I'm wondering if there's any possibility I might be able to buy/find a replacement crystal for this watch.  The base of the crystal is also curved to match the case, rather than flat.  I'm looking at the Cousins website page here https://www.cousinsuk.com/product/rectsq-rounded-corners-one-side-curved-bezel-sternkreuz-rzr but not sure if I'm looking for the correct type.  In my case its a rectanglular crystal with rounded corners, and both the upper and lower surfaces of the crystal are curved. Many thanks
    • Getting more interesting this post, innit? Mikeplilk, Waggy. Impressed with your efforts. Makes mine look amateurish. Hey, that's what I am. Still, I have good results with the 'frog'. Apprentice test piece. Paper is from https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/234602659940?var=534248554534   I am aware that the more I delve into the DIY, the more I am gaining understanding of watchmaking. Well, a little each time. Ross  
    • Now, that's a bad boy watch! 🫡

    • I bought this box of jewels a few years ago and noticed that the glass containers are divided into two sections. In the first section, the containers have a label with red text colour and always start with the letter B. In the second section, the text on the label is black and lacks the letter B. There seem to be roughly the same number of containers in both sections, and each section has the same sizes of jewels. The only difference is that the jewels in the B section with red text have a slightly rounded, convex underside. My question is what are these rounded jewels for and if I can use them instead of the jewels with a flat bottom if a certain size is missing?
