I am in Vegas and stopped into the Ballagio boutique. I was surprised at how dark blue the dial is in person. Was it the lighting or my old eyes? Was the older "wave" dial lighter blue? I loved the watch but it almost seemed black to me?

 

The blue seems to change hues depending on the lighting. It's mesmerizing.

 

It really depends on the lighting conditions, sometimes it looks less blue than others, but that's the awesomeness of the blue SMPc, it changes colors
