Black Bay 41 Blue

One of my techs was looking for a watch for her husband. I recommended the BB41 with blue dial as it fit her description of his taste in watches. He already owned a DateJust with diamond dial. When I took her to the AD to browse the watch in person, she loved it immediately and when he got it, he did as well.

I was personally surprised at how thin the watch was in comparison to the standard BB. The case is also curvier than the slab sides of the standard version. The dial layout is simple and classy. The Matte blue isn’t Rolex Blue but is very aesthetically pleasing in person.

So it does wear thinner. Thank you

The blue really pops in light or is it on the brighter side all the time?

It’s not a sunburst dial but yes it does get darker, Navy in low light and bright blue in sun light.
