Guys; has anyone handled the new chrono in blue? I'm interested in steel on bracelet this go around for an office piece; I just hope the blue is done right (for reference; fell out of love with the YG sub blue and the smurf blue, so if it hints of that, then it's a no go for me, looking for a more faded or darker look similar to patek 5712).

It's a darker blue compared to the Rolexes so think you'll be fine. I tried this on recently and was very impressed I must say, loved the reverse panda dial.

Ps It's not as dark as the 15202 blue, by my eye closer to the 15400.

I saw them at Canary Wharf, they had a few ROCs but no new 44s. I really liked the SS, black and white dials.

the one place i never go, too bad as I'm sure its gone now. Im really interested to see how the blue wears since the silver was a bit on the big side for me for a non ROO watch.

How did it wear for you?

I've only half-tried on the black and white SS, was not really expecting to like it, but I was quite taken by it, as was my friend who would have bought one if they had thrown in the D500 . If I didn't have a black AP Chrono already I would be very tempted, the smaller subdial didn't bother me.

I think the blue is the same as the 15400. They probably have the RG blue at other stores, I'm sure it's the same blue.

I tried on both the SS Blue and the new RG Blue at the boutique. Both dials are beautiful.
