burkeric 0 Posted October 1, 2016 Sea-Dweller DEEPSEA D-Blue Noob V7 I ordered from TSWatch and received yesterday. Happy with everything about it except the blue part of the dial which looks too dark to me. Indoors the dial looks uniformly black, unless the watch is held close to a "daylight" fluorescent bulb that enhances blues. Outdoors in direct sunlight the blue is visible, but unless I knew the dial was a blue-to-black gradient I don't think I would have noticed there was any blue on it. It's still a great watch -- bracelet feels good; bezel, crystal, most other things look right, weight and size are fine for me... not too heavy or tall as some have mentioned. I just wish the dial looked better since the blue/black gradient is the D-Blue's signature feature. Top picture is the watch I got from TSWatch, bottom picture is the real thing. Color issues can be tricky to spot in photos because colors look different in different types of lighting, and when viewed on different monitors. And images involved in advertising (like the one on the bottom) are tweaked and adjusted to make the watch look its absolute best. But I expect the blue should at least be visible in average room lighting. Do any of you have any experience with this issue or know anything about it? I can get plenty of good use out of the watch in the mean time, I don't take things too seriously and I need a good watch, but it would be nice to get the dial replaced at some point so you could see the blue/black gradient the way it was intended to look. I just don't know how to go about that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joeboy 2 Posted October 1, 2016 Those 2 pics are in completely different lights, I do however know what you mean and even on the gen the distinction between blue and black is sometimes hard to spot. I would say it's a pretty accurate rep including the face and if you were expecting a more defined blue/black then it's not the watch for you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gavmeister 1 Posted January 1, 2017 Possibly a 3135 or 2836... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
purger72 0 Posted January 3, 2017 Still a very nice looking rep. After few sleeps it may grow on you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
anfalas 0 Posted January 3, 2017 Watch dials can look very average under indoor lighting unfortunately, although as the OP says under the right lighting conditions you can make even a cheapo rep look a million bucks! (which this clearly isn't of course) What does the dial look like in normal daylight, ideally in bright overcast conditions? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GC 4,477 Posted January 3, 2017 It is true to the Gen sir, I have handled a gen at the Rolex AD @ the Wynn. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
