Icon20 I love Bluesy so much...

...that I bought another one!

I bought a Z-series from a fellow TRFer, Alex aka "nko51", just the other week. Transaction was smooth and it was as advertised, my new Bluesy is just like brand new, thanks Alex!

After resizing the bracelet, I took a couple of quick pictures, Bluesy even participated in making pizza for dinner.

Hope you like the pictures folks.

Wow, that's in excellent condition! I've been mulling one over and those pics certainly aren't helping!

Congrats on the new addition...

If they discontinue the current blue dial and replace with smurf blue dial, Bluesys will be comanding premiums. Time will tell.
Awesome watch and great pic's!

Thanks Sean, we were supposed to go out for dinner, but opted to eat at home so I can spend more time with my new Bluesy.

Interesting observation. Hey, but I like the "smurf blue dial" as well.

I like the Rolex Submariner line of watches. What probably comes close to being classified as a beater watch is my S/S Sub Date or my Breitling SuperOcean Steelfish.

Thanks R.J., for the pizza, I have to give credit to the fine folks at Papa Murphy's. It's called the Herb Chicken Mediterranean. It's delicious, YUM!

Sigh,

I fell in lust with that one last month on a trip to St Lucia. I should have grabbed it. I am still confused about the price down though. The list prices are 10% under US list. But they discount 10% so it is close to a wash. But before I had done this research there was a bunch of vendor tables around the pool at Sandals Halcyon and one was the AD. She showed me a Bluesy and said it was 7,000. I am still not sure if that was list less 10% or could I have grabbed it for 7k less 10%.

To add insult to injury the Ben Bridge sign I commute past twice a day just changed to this watch.

Even though I like my watches with the date function, I long to own a Milgauss GV one of these days.

Steve, you dropped off Bluesy? Was it for the regular maintenance?

My other Bluesy is a T-series, and had undergone its 5 yr. maintenance from RSC. Don't worry man, she's coming back looking like new again!
