The Crafter Blue does look great. Color(Blue) matches perfectly. However, due to the curve end links, for me it’s uncomfortable. It presses on my wrist bone. It sits in my draw now. Maybe I’ll put it back on someday. My friend has one, and for him, it’s fine.

I actually put the stock silicone band on my turtle. Much more comfortable. Only caveat is, it collects lint easily. A simple wipe takes care of that though.

Wow, didn’t know the blue dial was continued. It’s by far, one of the nicest blue dials on the market. It’s not loud, in your face blue. What language is the day. Thanks.

It’s English/Arabic date wheel. Yes, the dial is navy blue. I really considered the save the ocean versions, but the blue was far lighter and a bit more flashy and not to my taste. The size was a bit of a consideration as I have 6.5 inch wrists, but the lug to lug length is about the same as my 16610 and so fits quite well.

I was wearing my Sub last night and this morning. Due to pandemic disorientation, I switched to a Black Monster, then a Pepsi Turtle to get the day and date.

Alright. Incoming take 2. This one seems to be functioning quite well. I put it in a crafter blue as it lightens up the watch and I don’t really know how to size the bracket lol!
