Picked the blue dial after lot of research and reading. Tried this on at Kohls to get a feel for the heft and shine. My wrist on the smaller side, but with 4 links removed - fits nice.  Amazon pricing the best compared to even other watch specialists online like Joma or Blue Nile. Great for both official or casual setting.  The dial is dark dark blue - almost looks black sometimes. Watch came setup for EST and date !!! Some one took some extra time to setup before shipping?!  So had no use for the booklet. Still did play around with it. It is a little complicated yes - but if you do not travel across too many time zones - one should be fine. Received lots of nice comments for the watch. Great luxury watch - feel and looks.
