New submariner? Blue?

[glockman]

King submariner aka WG Smurf is already blue

Yes, but the blue is like royal blue. I am guessing they are coming out with dark, navy blue.

That would be the same as the Black Bay 58

Pelagos Blue which is what I wanted but is too big. Similar blue as the smurf.

Yes. Like the Omega Seamaster dark blue or grey blue, which is a more eye pleasing shade of blue. Which colour Black Bay 58 did you get? For me, I always need the date function.

39mm too small.
42mm or bigger
It might be bigger with a blue face
Or light blue ceramic bracelet.

I think the date submariner still the best looking.

I don't need the date function because it is too much trouble keeping the date right. I ordered the navy blue black bay the one in the photo above.

That's the design that launched a few thousand clones! The definitive diver watch design. I like rolex because of their cyclops lens. My eyes are old and tired. I have trouble reading the date on my Pelagos these days, need plenty of light then can see.

Lugs are too thick. The previous model was better proportioned.

Stick with the navy blue black bay, you can't go wrong with it. It's like black, can go with any colour attire. Glad you didn't get the blue pelagos, that blue is ugly.

Only because they just had to stick with the tradition of 20mm bracelet. Imagine the 42mm Explorer II with a 20mm bracelet (which is what I have), looks very out of proportion.

The only thing I don't like about the Black Bay 58 is that the bezel is aluminium not ceramic. Prone to dents and scratches. I guess you get what you pay for.

Love the explorer II but why the hell did they have to make it 42mm if it had been same size as the original explorer it would be on my wrist right now!

Aluminium bezel inserts have their charm too. They will fade and look seasoned in time. Chlorine will accelerate the fading, I found that out because I used to swim a lot in the pool with my blue seamaster. I can't stand those glossy ceramic ones. I find them too flashy, hence I fell in love with the matte ceramic on the Pelagos.
