The aquamarine is probably very slightly more feminine, but I reckon the blue is equally nice. (Sorry, not being much help here!)

Welcome aboard!

You didn't mention whether you were looking at the all-steel with the diamond bezel, or the two-tone, but either way, I actually prefer the darker blue. I like the contrast of the darker dial and the light case.

The good news is, I've seen a few colors iof the Starliner series n real life, and they all look great -- much better than in pictures -- you really can't go wrong.

The bad news, we will hound you to post pictures starting 15 seconds after it arrives

Enjoy your search, and good luck with finding one that speaks to you.

I agree with MoreCowbell - I'd also go for the darker blue (for my gf, of course... A Starliner on me would be... Interesting.).

Good luck with your decision!

Just had a quick look in the Chronolog to brush up on the colours and I think I agree with Aleister and Morecowbell - the darker blue is the nicer option.

I can absolutely understand that you hope for a short waiting period.

Regarding Swedish production - I suppose you mean Switzerland, as the only one made in Sweden is a Sjöö & Sandström. :wink:
