Blue Over My New Rolex, Or Not!

Been looking for my first Rolex and decided I must have a BLUE dial.

I want a pre-owned Datejust, 116233 or Turn-O-Graph, 116263, Jubilee bracelet, 18K YG/SS, stick markers, fluted bezel.

Only problem I can only find very, very few and over priced DJ's and no, nada TOG's.

As a rookie in the game, what's the reason for the limited or non existant Blue Dial inventory? Not popular, or none made with the TOG model.

(Board sold a DJ about a week before I joined, My Luck). Been looking for about a month. Contacted 2 trusted sellers.

Must I settle for a different dial? Any BLUE info appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

MIKE

You'll find what you want. That blue dialed TOG was sharp. I do believe it was on a Jubilee bracelet too. Sweet watch. Welcome to TRF.

Be patient. No need to compromise, otherwise you'll never be satisfied.

I've found the hunt is as much fun as the purchase. Beautiful choice by the way.

I would also consider the YM blue dial, stunning watches and quite dressy too.
