Sadly, the blue is guaranteed not to look like the render IRL.

Never looks right on a solar dial.

Got em in stock now, not horrible on the blue dial at least
This blue & gold doesn't work for me. The shade of gold and the plasticky blue dial makes it look cheap (IMHO), especially compared to the two-tone automatic equivalent. If I didn't know better, I'd think it's a poor fake of the automatic.

Did you take any pictures of the black and rose gold? I'd be interested to see how it looks in comparison.

Hey hey I wasn’t gonna say it out loud lol 🤣

It’s not my favorite, no. There’s a good demand for it in the area by my store so I’m happy it’s hear in that regard lol

The lighting in here doesn’t help either. The blue Solargraph has looked the worst of the colors, which isn’t saying much either.

And I didn’t get the rose gold in yet. Ironically enough it’s the harder of the two to get in stock

Yup. I called it and am not surprised in the slightest. TH clearly have no way to make the blue work with the Solar dial.

Why is that ironic, when it’s the better of the two colour options…plus the previous stainless blue dial Solargraph should have put you on notice for which will be in demand?

I would have thought so. The black dial Solargraphs (titanium sand-blasted especially), have sold far better in the whole of the line-up. But orders for the rose gold version have apparently been far greater so there’s fewer going around right now. I do want to see them so I’m gonna keep bothering my sales rep for Tag lol

Based on the renders, it looks great, although not sure who signed off on the clasp…

Yeahhh.. I’ve always considered that a missed opportunity to have the gold going through the center of the clasp also. Would’ve been a nice little finishing touch to everything.
I absolutely know that those will be the go to out of the two of them. Haven’t been able to move the yellow gold ones yet (naturally)

Love this one. Shame the clasp looks like it’s off another watch.

So does the dial, looks like it's copied from the Sundowner. No wonder you love this one! 😉

Agreed. It has certainly taken inspiration for sure, one way or another.

That would like nice for a few minutes... not a good idea.

You’re definitely right that it wouldn’t last, but a shiny polished steel clasp won’t either. For me, a scratched up gold clasp would look better than a scratched up steel one.

The only suitable alternative would have been a fully brushed clasp, but then that wouldn’t be ideal either I guess.
