I would wait for it but all dial colors are great. I'm particularly interested in blue dial too.

Try and see all three first. You might have a different view once you see them all in the flesh. Yeah, yeah, see them all, hoot hoot, I know. But what I’ve done in the past is ask my AD if he has one for a VVIP in the safe that I can just look (no touchy) at.
Personally, I prefer the black TT which is weird because I don’t like TT. I guess I’m getting weird in my old age.

You can't judge the color until you see them in person, on your wrist.

you honestly can't go wrong with any, but the blue would be my choice just something special about it.

From my perspective, getting an annual calendar with the oyster case and Rolex reliability is a winning combination. I'd buy any dial (in SS) for retail.

Torn between Black and Blue, but Black just speaks to me a little more loudly!
Definitely going to take the plunge! Can't go wrong - awesome in any color! |

126600 and Explorer II are both 50mm lug-to-lug. YMII should be 51mm if I remember correctly. SD50 should wear more like Explorer II! |

Agreed. I’m not willing to take the time to try to arb watch prices...but nor am I willing to pay a 50% premium to get a watch...so I’m waiting for the call.
