Moreover, i noticed that the GMT hand blue doesn't really match the bezel blue and that bothered me a little. Does anyone else notice these things or might it just be the lighting in the AD's store? Part of me really wants to sell a few things off and take the plunge, but then when it came down to it, I just wasn't sure if I would get tired of it or not...

Anyone else feel the same way? Thoughts?
Its my least favorite color combo. I go for any of the others.

Agree with this 100%. I went in for the Blue Black and it just didn't sing. Ended up with an EXII instead....because it sung!

This is very much a personal choice...there is no doubt it is a fantastic watch but you have to find the one that is right for you!

It's a great watch and I've never noticed any of the things you mention in your post...but, if they bug you now, it will only get worse, not better. Keep looking for what you truly want.

Bought it. Love it. BIGTIME!! The odd hue must have been the lighting in the AD. The blue is phenomenal. Going to post some pics and a short review later.

True story. I have this color blindness thing. Anyway... Congrats! Looking forward to the pics!

Ha! Me too. Red, green, purple and some yellows and oranges are tough for me. Damn genetics!
