rotating sapphire bezel with BGW9 Super-Luminova, 42mm brushed, and polished
case, 500M WR, AR coated sapphire crystal, BGW9 Super-Luminova coated hands,
and markers, adjusted, and decorated ETA 2824-2 automatic, steel bracelet, and
a lot more.

Here is a look...

It's not bad...but for some reason the first thing I thought when I saw it was Deep Blue.

Nice right Steve?! :) Has that totally classic feel, but with some neat hands, and nice modern
day edge with that terrific blue dial, and bezel.

Todd, think you're right on about the Deep Blue comparison too ! :salute: The style, and even blue
actually remind you of some of their watches.

It's not quite a turd sandwich, but it's also not great.

New Tourby Lawless Dark Blue 42

Just realized that's a 1:1 of the Pelagos bezel. Tudor got it so wrong with the blue; this shade would've been fantastic.

So true, Tudor missed the boat on a nice midnight blue Pelagos.

That's actually one of the only good pictures I've seen of it. Also, "they" call it smurf because they're infantile retards.

It's a bad nickname (though i kinda like the watch), but nothing is worse than "bluesy".

Indeed. That's a terrible name. However, picking the worst TRF nickname is akin to deciding which turd tastes the worst.
Somehow my proposed YM2 nickname didn't stick: Clownmaster.

is that really an accurate blue? it looks like someone took the saturation slider and dragged it all the way to the right. :puke:

If it's inaccurate, it's too attractive:

The green one is worse though. Languid green bezel plus vibrant sunburst dial is BAD BAD BAD.

Never thought I'd say these words but I'd take the green one over THAT blue.

It's funny now that ceramic has been around for a while. People are starting to get a little more honest about it. Sure it doesn't really scratch (though it does if you're rough). However, it
1) is either too shiny or too bland
2) shatters
3) requires serious tools to fix when it doesn't line up properly (which happens a lot with Rolex)
and best of all...
4) the stupid too big numbers scratch and look like shit since the DLC coating (or whatever) is only a couple microns thick.

I'll stick to $50 aluminum inserts that look better.
