It truly is a beautiful timepiece. The dial is simply mesmerizing, and I often catch myself staring at it. I've had more people comment on this watch than any other one I own. In my opinion you can wear it with a suit and tie or polo and shorts. I went with the 5 digit reference as I thought the 6 digit was a little too flashy for my taste. Cheers!

Do you think the blue is more polarising than the green?

Yes, as the TT has both those that like it and those that would never buy it.

From owning both the blue sunburst and gold combo is alot more beautiful than the green.

There is a reason why the Pharaohs loved the Gold/Blue combo its a truly classic combo that has lasted 1000s of years. All the Kings of that era were buried with Blue and Gold statues of themselves.

I have received more positive comments on my bluesy than any of my other watches including several Daytona's and was the first Rolex I bought and still pretty much my daily wear after 20 years

Love blue, but my choice if I could would be a Smurf. Either one is great I am sure i just don´t own one but I probably would if I had the cash. The green Hulk on the other hand I am not a fan of.

Wearing mine to the office today. Bought new from AD back in 2007 (40th birthday gift to myself), served as my one and only for 9+ years, worn daily and first service needed after 9 years.

Got many complements on it while hiking, water rafting, skiing, night out, weddings, and grocery shopping.

I have had mine for over 15 years now. It was my first grail watch and my second Rolex. I think it is a great everyday watch. It can be casual, sporty, or dressy.

I had openly said to a couple of my WIS friends that I would rather have a certain part of my lower extremities punted down the sidewalk than own a TT anything. Then one day I tried on a Bluesy and that went out the window. I am now the proud owner of said piece. It is a bit on the flashy side, so I don't wear it everyday, but I really happy with my decision. Plus, my 7yr old WIS-In-Training son says it is his favorite out of my collection.

One thing about a bluesy, they stand out! I wore mine to dinner the other night wearing a short sleeve shirt. I noticed quite a few people check out my watch, which doesn't always happen.

Congrats on your purchase. You'll have to show some pics when it arrives.
IMO, the circa 1990 Ref 16613 is a stunning watch. The dials made by Singer have a tendency to turn a beautiful iridescent purple. I believe these will become increasingly sought after by collectors. Cheers!

I love how they look; just not on me. I gave mine to my son when he graduated college. He'll wear it when he comes over for F1 Sundays. It looks fantastic on him.

I don't know why it didn't gel with me.
