Full steam ahead! Can't wait either. I wann see real pics what this bad boy looks like. I have a feeling this one will look better than the silver dial. But then I like blue dial watches too so...

That blue looks much nicer in the real world pictures. It's not as washed out.

Love that first pic. I've read a few complaints about people wanting the sub dials to be white or silver, I think it looks perfect all blue. In fact, I wish the black navi 01 had black subs like the world.

I even like the look of it on the Breitling blue croc but I plan on wearing it on the navi bracelet.

Agreed, too many Breitlings have contrasting subs, and the matching ones really make this standout.

Botox all the way. It's a petty that unlike Breitlings, Travolta is not ageing well!

I noticed this is a solid case back, is your silver face 01 a DB like the black?

The watch looks huge on his wrist.

My silver dial LE has a display back. The marketing material says the blue sky has a display back,not sure why purist says its a solid caseback. Strange.

I find it common that often dark blue dials are relatively difficult to get a decent pic of. I had a Datejust awhile back with a blue dial and often the pic would look like it was black.

Loving all the blue dial discussion on a navitimer - considering I am going through the same over a possible dial swap on mine (blue to black).

Personally I love the look of the new Nav 01 on Blue. Interesting that they've gone without a contrasting subdial, it does give the watch a 'cleaner' or streamlined look for sure, but certainly less functional.

The blue dial is difficult to match up on a strap (none of the blues are an exact match except for maybe the croc, but then again straps vary in final colour too). My dealer here in Japan said that the blue calf was now discontinued! maybe a language issue as I've not seen it confirmed elsewhere.

Definitely looks best on the bracelet for me. I also think that a military matte finish to the watch (a la Fighter series) would be excellent! Maybe for a latter release..
