I think I need a purple dial!
As I was browsing today I came across a few beautiful purple dial watches. I realized that I'm going to need a purple dial in the collection. The world of purple is new to me so I am putting out the call. Let's see the purple dial watches in your collections! I'd love to see what is out there and feed my newest subcategory obsession. @StNobody inspired this post. I was staring at your #islander Northport a lot today. Just being honest.

I don't have one but I really like this
Your honesty is appreciated. I spend a ton of time staring at my Northport whenever it's on my wrist. I also have the Neo Tokyo Shirahama like @AshKetchup, and it's a stunner.

Awesome watch!
@Pallet_Fork and I also both have this Mathey-Tissot, which is a pretty solid piece especially considering that it should only set you back just over $100. But the color is definitely much less subtle! https://www.watchcrunch.com/Pallet_Fork/posts/mathey-tissot-limited-edition-243664

I'll have to dig into that brand. New to me.

Oh I like that. Has a Ball watches vibe for a 10th of the cost.

It kinda does, now that you mention it! At 42mm, it wears pretty big on my 6.5" wrist, but you shouldn't have that trouble. In the same aesthetic neighborhood, Islander does the Upper Brookville in purple, which gets you a Miyota 9015 for about twice the price of the Mathey-Tissot. I am sorely tempted by this one.

I am torn when it comes to the whole Brookville lineup. They are such a classic design but I wish they had at least one unique thing. I know it looks very close to the mathey-tissot, but the detail of the second hand counter balance just gives it something. If that makes any sense? 🤣

Makes perfect sense. The M-T counterbalance drives me slightly nuts, tbh, but you're absolutely right about the Brookville needing some little pop of personality of its own!
I built this one for my wife for Xmas 2022. It's a Yacht-Master mod with an NH35.
Im looking for a purple dial watch myself
Tsao Baltimore has some good choices
Christopher Ward has a purple dial 12 that looks great!
Happen to be wearing my anOrdain Fabrik GMT today:
I don't have one but I really like this
This looks dope 😎😍
Seiko Presage Akebono gmt
Excellent choice!
I bought a S.U.F. Kaaos Karkki the other day. Absolutely beautiful, light and slim. Only 75 pcs. made of the purple version.
Love it. Is that a power reserve?
I own this watch in an Emerald Green, but TSAO Baltimore/Baltimore Watch Company makes most of their watches with a Purple variation as Purple is tied to the Baltimore Ravens.
I love this dial because it is dark enough to fly under the radar but when the light hits it… 💥 Boom
If you’re looking for something a little brighter, he just launched the Torsk Diver Pro which has a lovely textured dial.
Great options. Thanks!
Ocean Crawler Great Lakes Purple
Awesome! That one is going on my list. Thanks

It is a moonphase. The price is pretty ok, about 4800 €

Oh it's a moonphase. That watch just got cooler. Very nice!
Excellent choice!
Thanks

This is gorgeous! I love the combination of all the different elements from indices and hands to bezel and chapter ring. It really has a futuristic look that justifies the Neotokyo moniker.
...or a Dufrane Barton Springs II date or no date. Just wish it was a 38mm rather than a 42mm..

Very nice but I'm going to be a little picky about the triangle on the bezel. I'd rather see it in black or purple than red. Overall great option. Thank you!
Purple, you say? Saving this thread for later reference... 😏

Tell him to post it...
