    Blue sunburst dials

    Ive got a soft spot for these. What is out there?
    I'd love to see some pictures.
    I'll kick it off with this.


    Good luck everybody. Have a good one.

    Here's my current favourite. Pic doesn't really do it justice unfortunately though.



    Cheers,

    Every time I look at this watch the dial looks a different tone. It's amazing how it changes with the light.

    I've had two, one Russian Sekonda

    and one WUS Chinese Forum project watch. Note the visibility issue ....

    Plain steel against blue, lesson learnt.

    And here's something I once stumbled upon online and have never forgotten

    That milgauss is a very under rated watch.

    Was really excited to see this thread because I blue has always been my favourite colour for anything. But there hasn't been a huge number. Are blue dial watch lovers in the minority? Also surprised there hasn't been a Globemaster, which I think is a brilliant dial.

    The sun may not be bursting, but it’s blue and oh, it’s pretty...

    Without the Cyclops it would be spot on. Lovely dial

    I do love a blue dial...

















    It's not always easy to capture the full effect of some of the dials though. The Espada, for example, can look vividly blue at times, but looks black/dark grey in the photo!

    That is just ridiculously gorgeous. I guess it's the old style Ingenieur?

    Here's my contribution, you can't really the sunburst in this photo but it's there:

    I've forgotten almost everything I read about it at the time, but iirc it was in both SS and precious metal. The hands and indices are certainly white gold.

    That's great. Is it a sandwich dial? Not seen that before in a Vostok.

    Yes, one of the Meranom 420 cased special editions although I've changed the bezel and crown. It really catches the light nicely.

    This is a so called "used to have".
    Left the nest not too long ago, great blue dial.

    I'm not sure I want the answer because I suspect that'll end up costing me some money!

    Found it, love the model but even for me it might be an impulse too far!
