Interesting list, nice to see some things I didn’t know like the anOrdain Fabrik Model 1. For me, seeing all those watches reminded me how cool the Omega Aqua Terra looks.

No Tudor (Pelagos, FXD, Fifty-Eight?), or Panerai (Bronzo Blu Abisso, Luminor Blu Mare?). Oh well.

Great post Chewbacca.
Pretty straight-forward choices.

(Humor and truth) That list can't be right because they didn't include the timepiece i just got yesterday. Without validation how can I be sure???

Preach on brother. Have desired an H. Moser for quite some time and as luck would have it a one-month young 'used' deal came up that I simply couldn't refuse. She needed a slight demag and now runs +/-0 seconds on wrist for the past 24 hours.

H. Moser timepieces are still obtainable (for the moment, and at sane pricing). Have a feeling this may change. It is sooooo obvious how great their timepieces are when you see them in person. Heck, H. Moser makes their own hairsprings (very strong at 328 on my timegrapher) and even MB&F uses their dials.

For those who don't yet have an H. Moser, asap go see one in person

It’s hard to beat IWC when it comes to blue dials. The Seamaster is the only blue dial watch I have. I think it deserves honorable mention.

True. Probably meant to highlight the lesser known ones.

Pretty good list.

I always felt DeBethune made some of the most beautiful blue watches out there.

I'd also have included Rolex Yacht Master and the Omega Seamaster Pro.

Thank you, not sure what took me so long to get an H. Moser. Love it, and think it may be my new daily between Rolex rotations. Comfy on wrist, easy to read dial, epic all-night lume, and accurate time.

For the geeks, now on Day 2 and she is +3 seconds total.
