I'm sure is the same blue gray on the 5164G & 5261R..

yeah it was me! And it is STILL me who thinks the 5261R colour is all wrong!
The placement of the dial is all over the place, the blue and RG combination looks uninspiring. One doesn't have to like the 5261R to like the 5164G.
Just look at them side by side - one has cohesive colour combination and a well arranged dial, the other looks like three eyed monster with the "12" at the top being cut off to accommodate the moon phase.
Also, why make it a "Luce" when almost 90% of customers asking for the watch are male? Make it a 40 like the 5164 or 42 like the 5968, give more space to the dial and make it a proper annual calendar, not an after thought with a poorly arranged dial!
