36mm OP: blue or steel?

[worldfamoussam]

I have usually thought that a blue dial should not be your only watch. That said, the blue dial on the OP is so striking, I don't think I'd get sick of it ...

Blingtone--thanks for the great pic: I like the regular hour hand, but your mercedes hand looks terrific!

Thank you, Soho and William--both of you have turned my attention a bit to the Datejust. So I started looking around at them a bit. Soho--your DJ is really nice!

I still love this blue OP:



However, I have just discovered this beauty! It's not blue--but I love the silver here--much more than the steel OP. And maybe silver comes closer to an only watch color scheme.



I guess right now I am feeling torn between these two! sigh...

Easy choice. Blue.

Thanks cnj8w, I'm not normally a 'modder' but mine was one of the earlier models with much thinner hands than current models - the legibility was lousy (for me), so I changed them for a Submariner handset (I've kept the originals), it's now my go to daily (no more difficult to pair with suits, or casual than my LV) AND that dial never fails to amaze.
