    recently saw the blue dial on someone and it looked fantastic. I personally love the white dial blue hands but find the price point atrocious. Have t seen or heard much love for the 57'. Anyone have one and care to share some pics?!

    I happen to Loooove this reference!

    It is definitely 'the Next one'...

    I'm partial to the TwoTones...

    So far I'm Leaning more to white... This watch is amazing...Classy, Sporty, hefty....Solid movement, solid Gold...

    I think a big problem was that the year it was introduced...the DarkSide just took all of the glory... Everything else was just overshadowed...

    Trouble is you know a month from now you're going to have a whole lot more references on your list, hardest part about this time of year is knowing there's new toys just around the corner... then even harder knowing you'll have to wait a few months until they show up in boutiques

    I LOVE my '57! I love that chrono minutes and hours are on one dial. I love how the sapphire display back envelopes the movement on the sides, you can see so much more of it that way.

    Here's a photo of mine on a custom strap from Stone Creek!

    Those look great guys, thanks for sharing. I didn't expect to like the blue dial so much, but after seeing it in the wild I was really taken back.

    Two tones are beginning to grow on me and I must say that black dial speedy is gorgeous!

    Went to my AD today, damn I really love this one!!
    But can this blue dial be worn with a variety of colors in clothing?

    Yes indeed it can! The dial's blue is subtle and also tends to reflect the colors of whatever's near it.

    Afraid if I do this I'm gonna lose the versatility of a black / white dial...
    57 owners, you guys wear this as a daily driver?

    Sounds about right! My AD said he heard Omega is doing a bunch of two toned designs this year...

    The 57' collection is where I found myself not only liking bi-color but yellow gold as well! Honestly one of my favorite timepieces from them!

    Fabulous looking watch, but definitely one to try before you buy, as the thickness is hard to pull off on a smaller wrist/person - or even on a larger wrist/person! The '57 was my first choice, but ultimately I decided the Moonwatch looked better on me.
