Is green the new blue?

I feel like we've been hyped on blue but blue has been on the royal oak and nautilus since the 70s. Will green become a fad?

I suspect green, like salmon, will be a niche market.

I don't know if a fad but maybe more substantive, the green LVc and YG Daytona are getting a lot of traction, the APs are also doing well, and khaki straps are nice, so if they get the dial colour right then these will do well.

Agree that Salmon is hot but more limiting. Khaki is pretty easy to wear.

IMO ... it depends on the shade of green ... a hard color to make attractive.

Green dials make me think of Fossil watches from the 90s.

Personal decision, but blue (especially navy) has been my favorite color since I was a young child...so my answer is no, but for the masses perhaps.

That's so irritating. They're just not worth anything close to that.
