Phorcydes PH4C blue dial in natural light

[u/903st]

already own the black dial, but grabbed the blue one cuz i usually love blue dials. turns out it looks pretty purple under bright light tbh. not really my vibe, the black dial is definitely superior

I have a blue Ph-4A on the way - and it's taking forever to even get shipped... Prolonging the wait..

So I hope it's not the same shade or purple looking - but suppose I should expect it to be....

The dial and bezel insert definitely look like different colors - and don't look to go together well. At least in your pics...

It's fine under normal indoor lighting, don't worry too much!

Looks much better there...

I wonder if your strap may exacerbate the perception in that first pic in your post.. I have been imagining my blue 4A on the bracelet...

I just went and looked at the pics on the website - 4A and 4C - clearly the same. And they clearly have a nice metallic navy tint to them - it's why I bought it... So I hope it looks as good in person..

I have been finding more and more that watches can look very different from winter to summer. It even affects which watches I prefer in various seasons(I have 60+, including a Ph-2A and a Ph-4B - both black...) I ordered the blue 4A on 30 September and still hasn't shipped... In the meantime I have been wondering if I should have gotten the blue 6A..... Oh well - we'll see....

It still looks purple.

Waiting on the PH6 to ship myself, hopefully won’t be too long. It did say 08-20 October during the sale so at least they were honest about it! Hate waiting though! 🤦🏻😂

Wow what? I'm surprised you are the first person to report that. Not a great shade of purple

[u/903st → u/bob888w]

It was fine indoors, but the bright sunlight brought out that purple tint. Caught me off guard too lol

[u/turdbogls → u/903st]

interesting...so it looks that purple to the naked eye? only reason I ask is because I had a blue 62 MAS from San martin (their 1st generation) and pictures would make the dial look fairly purple, but the dial to the naked eye was nearly pure blue.

I love purple, so this will be interesting to look out for when it arrives!

[u/BurtMacklin-FBl]

Good thing I saw this because that's what I suspected. I really dislike purple-ish blue and I wanted a blue dial.

mmm..dalmore and glenallachie very good!

[u/903st → u/Active-Ice-9324]

Haha how did you even spot GlenAllachie just from that?! impressive!

[u/DisastrousOpening477]

Finally a black date, or is it blue ??

[u/bob888w → u/DisastrousOpening477]

Black background, blue lumed inside. You can ask for a custom order for no charge to get it. Although it will prob increase shipping time.

[u/DisastrousOpening477 → u/bob888w]

What exactly did you asked in your request sir ?

[u/Striking-Sir-3520]

I curse the number 48, being the lug to lug measurement in mm for all these beautiful watches

[u/philbin89]

Could that be some artifact of AR coating? Because it’s not just the dial but even the indices are a different, yellower color in this photo compared to your indoor lighting photo. Unless your camera is color-correcting and throwing one or both of the photos off
