16233 Datejust what color is this dial? It looks almost purple with a flash, but in the sunlight it's lighter...There are so many dial colors and shades I've seen I am unsure what to call it...Watch is about 1990-92 I believe.

The blue sub dial from this era has a tendency to turn purple, so I am guessing this is a blue dial that has/is turning purplish.

And I don't know how many watches I have

Thanks, it's different and as little wear as the watch has I wasn't certain it had actually faded or turned.

it's originally blue. Here is my dd with similar color change.

Almost like the dial on my 1603 DJ.

Yes it was blue IMHO and has nicely colour changed to purple

Blue dials seem to alter the most. Lots of faded & tropical out there.
