Ice Blue dial variations over the years?
I recall an article I read which detailed the (sometimes drastic) colour variations that occurred in the famous ice blue/glacier blue dials placed on platinum Rolexes. I cannot find it now, but I recall it demonstrated the way the blue ranged from very faint to (nowadays) far more obviously blue.
Can those on this forum help me out? Am I completely wrong? Are there really significant colour variations? Direct comparison pictures deeply appreciated. |

I believe ice blue is a modern dial color and not vintage. If there is an ice blue dial on a vintage piece then it is most likely an aftermarket dial and didnt come from Rolex.

I’ve seen pale Day-Dates that are pretty far from my dial color. Although they have the same name, that’s where the similarity ends. Mine is a definite blue, but can look silver or greenish in some lights.
