hi everybody,

I had some time today and I felt that I have to share some of my blue dress watches with you. As I read in some magazines blue is THE dial color at the moment so I thought it may be the right time to share some thoughts and pictures of some of my blue dialed beauties.

I love each and everyone of them and like to wear all of them together with a nice suit or even with a casual outfit. Even if they seem to be quite equal they are total different....as almost every time with watches as you know ;)

So what am I writing about today? The Datejust, the Royal Oak and the Aqua Terra....three brands, two icons - one newbie, all blue, all shiny, each and everyone has its´ own character, everyone´s a beauty for itself in my opinion

let´s see if you agree and let´s start with the newbie....

the Omega Aqua Terra.

I received the watch a few days ago and have to admit that my expectation from all pics I saw were fulfilled. But let´s start from the beginning with some pics.

AT%2520C_zpsomuvihml.jpg



the AT is a very nice watch with a stunning dial...very well designed with some special textures, interesting hands and a very well balanced overall look.

the look of the dial changes from light blue to almost black...depends of the lightning. I tied to capture it in the following pics.

dark blue...

...to almost black...

and back.

AT%25202_zpssllfwovu.jpg


what I really like about the AT are the hands. They differ from a lot of watches and make the AT unique without being a watch which is not readable at first sight.

Even if it´s dark you always can be sure that the AT is a very good and readable watch.

the next watch which came into my collection was a real classic...The AP 15400

AP%2520C_zpsxxpfrfmk.jpg


I am a real fan of the AP divers but somehow thought the AP RO is kind of "old-fashioned" with its´design ... what a mistake...I am really glad that I ordered one and had the chance to change my mind about it...

designed in the 70ties still a real stunner and a classic...that is what I have to admit after receiving one...

what do you think?

AP2_zpsmpgjrj4c.jpg


an awesome dial which invites you to stare at while moving your wrist...and spot the details....

even if it´s getting dark there´s a lot you can see on the dial.

after obeying that beauty, open the clasp and give that baby a rest....

the last blue dresser I got is a Rolex DJ.

This watch has a really special meaning for me as I bought it the day my older daughter was born...

DJ%2520C_zpsyg0feflr.jpg


its´ her watch as I will not wear it often and just will keep it for her, even if it´s not a typical watch for women i hope she´ll like it some day in the near future...

...isn´t it great?!

blue...

to almost black...

stunning details...

which make me to observe this watch over and over again... :)

DJ3_zpswxqzjhvm.jpg


my daughter won´t have an excuse being later at home than the appointed time as this watch is pretty reliable showing the time without any power supply ;)

DJ%2520lume_zpsweacjruy.jpg


with the latest clasp she will / can´t lose the watch I suppose ;)

...anyway...

three really great watches in my opinion....I really like all of them and will wear at least two of them in heavy rotation with some other watches I own.

hers´s a final group shot of the beauties

It took some time but now it´s here....my first blue PAM dress watch...the 229

the watch is a stunner and it looks great. worth every penny - even it´s a bit more expensive....the dial alone is really awesome...I tried to capture it in some pics - so let them speak for themselves

sunburst effect is simply great

Nice photos and beautiful watches! Loved the acqua terra with its special lume in the dark. Noticed that the AP bracelet looks pretty much like some omega's from the seventies.
