A couple years ago Blue was the new black.  Prior to that it was Orange and I think before that it was Salmon.  Now it's Green's turn.

Generally most of the blue dials work for me, but green ones can come as both hits and misses. I am still not a fan of the yellow gold Rolex Daytona with a green dial just yet; maybe that is one that might grow on me in time to come. Nonetheless, one of my personal favourites these days is the Glashutte Original Sixties, in this special green dial. Image courtesy of Deployant. Not to forget, the original Bronzo as well. Somehow, the combination of bronze and green dial compliment each other rath

and I know this is my personal opinion ... but that green aquanaut is by far the most ugly thing Patek ever made. Maybe some mistakes from the 1970's come close but there won't be much this is an attempt but hey those aquanaut and nautilus are a hype right now so it will sell.

that there is a distinct military look to it which kinda cheapens the Aquanaut series, unless of course you are in the or in to military lifestyle

Suspect more releases will start going in this direction in the coming years... live the color and the selection of pieces you posted!
