What about the medium blue ?
-The nicest of them all..... ;)
I'd say I thought 3 shades of blue for the same model would be too much, but the other watches in my collection would tell you I'm lying. :cool:

I bought the dark blue first, followed by the light blue. I figured they were different enough, especially after I put one on rubber. Thought I was done, until green came out, and now there's a good-looking white. Stupid Casio.

Please share your best pic of your medium blue if you get a chance, you just might convince me. Pretty sure there's two more T200s as well - grey dial and the black case and dial model.

Gotta say, I first fell for the dark blue T200, and then kinda coveted the medium blue, with furtive glances at the light blue which I loved the visual effect of, but wouldn't suit my daily tastes. It all changed when I got a look at real pictures of the grey dial, not the catalog pics which are never even close.

You'll have to pardon the filthy state of this picture, it was taken right before leaving after a long day at work:

I used to own medium blue T200, which i sold to purchase gray.

Big mistake...

So the gray one is gone as well.

I loved the medium blue on gray straps. They subdued the blue color just right. View attachment 17203620

That's another plus to the gray and medium blue dials, both come with strap band options. While a jubilee-clone bracelet is my favorite way to wear my T200, I love having the gray Oceanus-branded NATO strap and black leather band in my drawer of options.

If I may ask, where did you buy the jubilee for the T200 and, if possible, can you post a photo?

Sorry mcfeelyufi, I've just seen you already posted a photo of the jubilee up above (thanks!). Still wondering where you got it, if you don't mind sharing.

So, I had picked up THIS one for really cheap when I thought I wanted straight end links, but then decided that THIS one (in silver/20mm) had curved end links and a little bit more obvious definition between the brushed and polished links, for not much more. When the second arrived, I decided that I liked the butterfly clasp better and swapped it from the first, so its actually hybridized between the two. The links are VERY slightly differently sized between the two bracelets, (first is a tiny bit smaller) but close enough that you can interchange the parts and you would never notice unless you already knew and are looking for the difference. Neither is "fancy" but both are a steal for the money (solid, not hollow inner links) and I would wager that the second one comes from the same factory that makes the Uncle's bracelets, though perhaps with slightly less rigorous QC. Straight-end model is click-in and go, curved endlinks take a little massaging to get the right fit. (edit: added picture of both bracelets for comparison)

ALSO, I have something that I do as a bit of a bracelet-quality cheat. I have a small $25 countertop deep-fryer that is half-full of microcrystalline wax, and I throw any new bracelet (off the watch, you monster!) in there for 15 mins at a temp hot enough to melt the wax to watery liquid, not actually boiling it. I jiggle the basket to make sure all trapped bubbles from inside the links get out, then pull it out and let it cool off. Takes a little time with a rag wiping the residual wax from the surface and picking/flossing the gaps, but it absolutely de-jangle/rattles any bracelet and makes it feel vastly more "premium" than before. A hidden bonus when waxing Oceanus bracelets is that when you remove links, the pin collars stay put in the link unless you pick it out, so no worries about having those fly off the desk and into the abyss.
