I like how the lines on the dial match exactly the lines on the rubber strap. Nice detail.Originally Posted by zelig

You could always go with a vintage piece. Rocco worked his magic on my case :)

Lovely watch, though I don't think my OCD would allow me to buy one unless they changed the month/day around!

I think they tried various different configurations but just couldn't get the symmetry right. You get used to itIf you can get past the date thing then the watch as a whole is pretty stunning.
I don't have my own picture of the case back at the moment but here's a stock picture.

Forgive the ignorance, but who is Rocco?You could always go with a vintage piece. Rocco worked his magic on my case :)
I'm asking specifically because I would love to buy a couple of old watches and bring them back to life. But I don't have a "guy". Is there a go-to watch repairer the forum loves?

None of the opening two I'm afraid.
if I had to go blue it would have to be AP, Tudor or Rolex.
Not in that order though necessarily..
No need to pay silly money for a decent Blue Faced watch. This one shimmers in strong sunlight and is lovely and clear. This watch taught me that you don't need to spend thousands to buy a quality watch.
Fully agree. I have an Orient GMT that is stunning.No need to pay silly money for a decent Blue Faced watch. This one shimmers in strong sunlight and is lovely and clear. This watch taught me that you don't need to spend thousands to buy a quality watch.

Cant take credit for the pic but these simply cannot be beaten...
These are so nice...but the hands put me off. I've got it into my head it's the outline of a tie and a cricket bat.Cant take credit for the pic but these simply cannot be beaten...

Two of my blue dials:
Omega for me :-)

That one seems a bit of a bargain - in particular if the discount code referred to on the Chronext thread still works.
Hamilton gets my vote, in fact I have been tempted myself....
Love that Longines.Two of my blue dials:

Truth be told that's my old one, I flipped it, regretted it and replaced it. I don't have a picture online if my new one but it's the same animal, I even have it on the same strap :lol: cost me a few hundred quid that flip, and the one I sold was MINT condition :?
That Longines is really nice. What is it?

Ah, figured it out - Longines Conquest GMT I believe. Good value too by the looks of things. Around £800

I believe list is £1050 but you'll buy one for £850 easily enough. NOS only now, production stopped in 2012.
Oh, and in the flesh it's much nicer still. Real quality feel too. One down side is the winding rotor mechanism is quite noisy, they are known for it. Doesn't bother me and I thought it would.
I love the large movements too, much better than having a date windiw 1/4 inch from the bezel.
I'm actually thinking about buying that Longines today. I don't have a blue face or a Longines so may itch two scratches.

They have one on display in Birmingham Goldsmiths. I don't know where else you may find one but they are easy enough to find still.
Recently added another blue...
I love the retro styling, markers, high crystal, sunburst dial, large crown. All of it - I just need to find a nice brown strap.

As others have said, it's very much a matter of taste.
Of the two OP watches, I really like the Hamilton and its lively retro look but I dislike the Omega.
Absolutely dig all of the Tudor snowflakes, Pelagos, etc.
It so subjective.
The one below is fantastic too, great design indeed.

Yeah i also like the dial on that one.

If you want a blue faced watch,then the Omega 2531.80 owns it, IMHO
I also love this, but it's marmite!
But you don't have to spend £££ for something blue and great, behold for £59 delivered:
