His post captures the excitement of a new acquisition and offers initial impressions, inviting the community to share in the appreciation of this distinctive timepiece.

Yeah !! My #648 / 1500 reporting !

The dial is soooooo nice !! A midnight dark blue color with a touch of purple. The gold crescent counter weight on the seconds hand reinforces this night sky theme (along with the gold crescent on the case back).

Under natural or white light , the blue comes alive ! (Otherwise it looks a bit like black especially under warm light).

Honeymoon period begins. Some pics to share. It’s a great complement to my recent acquisition of a Seiko Presage Cocktail Starlight

- both have beautiful blue dials!!

Have a good weekend guys !

Cheers

Key Points from the Discussion

The blue enamel dial is described as a 'midnight dark blue with a touch of purple,' which comes alive under natural or white light, but can appear black under warmer light conditions.
Despite its beauty, some collectors found the 40.5mm case size of the Presage Blue Enamel (ref. SPB069) to be too large for smaller wrists, preferring dressier pieces to be in the 33mm to 36mm range.
The watch is praised for its legibility and overall finish, with the dial being the standout feature. The original strap is considered too formal by some, prompting consideration for strap changes.
The Seiko Presage Blue Enamel (ref. SPB069) quickly became a popular acquisition within the WatchProSite community, with many members either owning it or actively seeking it.
The value proposition of Seiko, particularly with models like the Presage Blue Enamel, is highlighted, leading some collectors to question the significantly higher prices of other luxury brands.

The wait is short!! Looks stunning! Don't know how Seiko can deliver such good values with blue enamel dial.

Congrats!! I had it on order but ultimately I canceled it because I concluded it was unfortunately too big for my 6.25” wrist for this style of watches. I really wish they will make more 36mm models, especially for these classy references. Wear in good health!

Indeed it does wear big. But I can live with this size (max I can wear). Have you tried it ? Or try a similarly sized Presage ?
