This Blue Dial model is inspired by an old friend who always wore a classic stainless steel Oyster Perpetual with a blue dial. When I first met him 30 years ago he was wearing that watch and I never forgot it. This was well before I even could consider affording a watch of that caliber. He never treated me at any level but equal to his and I will never forget that. His wisdom and advice over the years are something I cherish. This one is for you CB
