Not a fan of blue pushers either but I like this much better than the Navy.

I've never seen this model before, it's stunning, much better looking than the Navy.

The blue pushers gives it a fresher and different look I think and more in tune with the strap and dial

Me too, it's because only 75 examples (the lowest number LE ROO I believe) were made for the Porto Cervo boutique

I love it too!!! Looks identical to the Navy, with the difference being the opposite color schemed dial.

I would have to see it in person to make a real judgment. With blues most are hard to portray accurately in a pic. Looks pretty cool as long as it doesn't get to Smurfy.

I like the matching blue pushers which go nicely with blue strap.
