Moser - funky blue v blue lagoon concept dials

Anyone got a side by side pic of these two ?
I had a blue pioneer before and now looking at the concept dials and like both but not sure which to try and go for.
From pics it seems the blue lagoon is kind of half way between the funky blue and cosmic green.
Any views ?

I don't have a side by side, but I had the exact same decision to make before I bought my Moser.

I went with the Funky Blue (regular endeavour, not concept). The blue lagoon is very explosive and has an intense sunburst sheen to it (too much for my taste). The fume gradient was also less apparent and pronounced. This was also the case with the purple fume as well.

I guess to sum it up, if you want something more subtle that highlights the fume gradient, go Funky blue. If you are a big fan of metallic sunburst, go Blue Lagoon.

Thanks for this. A great explanation.
I really liked the sunburst effect so I think I am going to go more for the blue lagoon.

Both are beautiful.

I chose the Blue Lagoon because I already have an Endeavour Midnight Blue.
The clean explosive :-) dial of the BL really triggered me.

Here some pics in different light and with different strap.

^^^^ That is beautiful!

Been looking really hard at H Moser lately. The blue is far and away a stunner...and the green is not too far behind.

Amazing dials. Are they enamel?
