Same session at AP house on the balcony, mid day…. Full sun and shade

I also agree that the blue wears / looks larger on wrist than the blue dial from what I can tell.

With my 7 inch wrist that’s really playing into my preference for the grey

Sorry…. Rushed the text and now can’t edit the mistakes

Summary
Blue shines in day light / full sun but looks smaller on wrist due to dial separating from case

Grey is a dark silver in full sunlight with washed out / harder to read handset but looks magnificent in the shade or at night with a darker grey color . Grey dial blends with case to present larger on wrist
