The dial

is a YES IMHO, but I feel it grabs to much attention away from other aspects of the watch. If you like attention, then that is the perfect selection

Thoughts on this UN Classico blue grand feu enamel watch?
By: jrwong23 (aka watchthebin) : November 29th, 2014-04:12
I saw this recently at an AD and was impressed with the grand feu blue enamel dial! The movement is so so (ETA I believe) but the case size and design and lugs shapes are very nice and suits my small wrist. Case is steel and great value! The blue dial is ...
Agree Ronald

The dial is the key attraction of this watch. Oh I love the blue !! Cheers Robin
Thanks for your feedback on the date too Fx

To be honest, some pics you took years ago (I copy them here again) really brings up the beauty of the blue dial!! Seeing your pics poison me on this watch even more! Cheers Robin Pic by Fx Pic by Fx ...
I only can agree...

as I saw this one in Paris lately, even if it's with a different dial: The shapes of the different elements and the dial are superb. The movement as you say is "so so"... The blue seems gorgeous. Cheers, Mark
Yes Mark I remember your post

Another enamel dial Classico that looks great and even more classical. Let us know if you get it eventually Cheers Robin
Tempted more than once
By: rnaden : November 29th, 2014-07:24
but passed on it, even though as you've said, the blue is superb...I just couldn't see how often I would wear it as the beauty and the way it plays with light is also its setback for a versatile wear. And the date...does it have to be there? And in a whit...
Definitely agree on the date window Richard

For the blue dial, which is a bit flamboyant I know, I like it enough that I believe I can wear it often :) Cheers Robin
Also tempted.

I agree with Richard N. More than once was I tempted with this beauty. The price is right and it's a looker. I have a thing for blue-dialed pieces. However, I too wonder how often I would wear it when up against others in my collection. Have you considere...
Thanks Raymond for your feedback

I have a Patek nautilus 5712 in grey-blue but it's not a blue like this one for the more fun days. But agree if I have the PP already maybe I don't need another blue dial :) Although this is in enamel and looks so nice!! Arghhhh... Tough to decide :) Chee...
Sorry to say that your pictures just don't do the dial justice.
By: Mitch K : November 30th, 2014-22:26
Not your fault, it is just that that dial can only be seen in the metal to be truly appreciated. It is stunning. I have admired it from afar and from close. I too had been tempted and have mercilessly hinted to my wife that I would like that watch (dare I...
Thanks Mitch for your note!
By: jrwong23 (aka watchthebin) : December 1st, 2014-00:38
Indeed I do like the dial and like you, I have the same thoughts on whether it can be a tad flashy or not. But with all my serious looking watches, this one can be a nice one to have when I want to have a fun evening for eg. Alot of my collector friends a...
Well said Mitch!
By: jrwong23 (aka watchthebin) : December 2nd, 2014-07:28
I will do as you suggest. Will mull over this for awhile and rely on my own thoughts and not from my friends :) Cheers Robin

I like the way you've put it! LOL! I will agree with you, and dare I say this transcends geographies, languages and cultures!
Striking appearance on this one.
By: MichaelC : December 1st, 2014-08:00
I definitely agree the date spoils what could have been even more spectacular. However, I'm not sure it is a complete deal breaker. You are still getting a superb and unique dial. If it comes at a great price, perhaps you can accept that trait? I have enj...
Good reminder my friend
By: jrwong23 (aka watchthebin) : December 1st, 2014-20:12
Actually no watch (or very very few of them) is perfect on all accounts I'm getting over the date window slowly :) The blue dial is just one to die for! :) Cheers Robin
Haha thanks Gordon!
By: jrwong23 (aka watchthebin) : December 1st, 2014-20:13
You are always spreading the enamel poison lol! Will take more time to decide. The blue dial is a killer for sure Cheers Robin
