Just put on my flamesuit so here goes: I'm not sure the Gulf livery colorway works. I think the inclusion of dark blue makes it too busy. Or maybe it's the light blue bezel? I'm not sure. I should love it but something seems off to me.
I wish that watch were 38mm?

I'd say the white numerals/indices on light blue bezel might be what's throwing you off.
If it was black, it might look better.

Or make them navy to match the dial. If they were going to include a color that isn't in the traditional livery they could have used it as a neutral.
