EXP 2 42MM Black Dian or TT Ceramic Blue Sub?

I have never posted a thread like this..... but.... Initially i wanted the EXP, however, I have several SS sport models already and i do like blue in any watch. i've been offered 15% off EXP2 and 20% off TT Blue Sub. What are your thoughts?

I would normally say the Explorer but since you already have a few SS models and you want blue, go for the Submariner.

The only 2 tone watch I like is the blue Submariner, if you would have given us any other options I would have said Explorer.

If you already got a few SS sport watches, go with the TT Sub.

As much as I love my 216570 I have to give the nod to the TT Sub!

It depends on what you have in your collection. Personally I would like to have both!

Without a doubt buddy. I think it's time for a TT in your collection. You have an amazing collection of SS divers Matt and of course the beautiful GMT. I am thinking its time fora TT sub. Looking forward FIFO the pics tomorrow :)

Thanks for all the responses guys. I just got back from the AD and I did not end up with either the EXP 2 42MM or the TT Blue sub. I did end up with something though.... It was a watch that i never gave much time to, but when I saw it in the case and then put it on I guess you could say it was singing to me. My current collection is all sports models, this one is kind of in between sports and dress... I guess. I'm going to drag this out with a little tease. Feel free to guess.... Adam Mortgage guy no hints and thanks for your input/enabling Although I may have enabled you more as it turned out. . Pics to follow in a bit

There is nothing like the 41mm gold bezel - people will see that from a mile a way. That DJII looks great on you!
