Blancpain FF Chrono Blue - Black

Hi all,
I am looking for some pics (there are some but not a lot) and feedback on the following watches.
Polished black vs brushed blue.
Thank you,

Love the look, but too large for me unfortunately. I'm a sucker for blue...

I had a brushed blue with deployant clasp. There was just something about it that I didn't like so I flipped it

I had the blue FF complete calendar... Loved it, but I had bigger fish to fry, so it had to go.

Thx guys. As always I will try to see them in person, especially the blue one.
I saw the black one, hopefully the blue one will arrive at some point.
I also saw the blue ceramic Bathyscaphe Chronographe Flyback Ocean Commitment. Not bad!

Blue seems more attractive to me but of course black is more versatile.

I have 2 blue watches and they are just as versatile as the black ones, except if you like to dress up in yellow and orange, I think you'll be fine with blue

I prefer the three-hander in the FF, recently picked one up and like it very much.
