I am a sucker..

for blue dials! Since it appeared, I believe in 2012, I thought the blue dial was an interesting alternative to the platinum dial YM1. It looked stunning in pictures and provided a nice contrast to the Pt. bezel and red seconds hand and writing. Never having owned a Yacht-master before I was certain this would make it into the collection one day. Time passed and it got sidelined as others took priority.

Then a few days ago, I saw Nicolas's post below on his YM and true to form, he provided the necessary shove for me to give it some serious thought. Serious thought turned into serious action and now I have this on my wrist. smile

Thanks buddy, you are such a bad influence! smile

 







Thanks for looking. smile
 
cheers

Love it, especially since blue is my fav color, too . . . .

The blue..

is very subtle in this case, almost greyish in certain lighting conditions. I wasn't sure whether I liked the bezel at first but it is so well made and gives off just the right amount of shimmer that really characterises this model. cheers fernando
