Blue or Black TT sub

I just sold my Sea Dweller, which i love very much to source a blue TT but he sold it before i could get the money so now that i have the chance ... should i go for a Blue or Black this is going to be my daily, as in yes everyday, scratches everywhere, sweat, water, and wat not lol ..

anyways i like the blue and its more of a sport and daily but i wear alot of black, or clothing that would match a black one
i dont know im torn in between, but i gotta hurry because im going to be watch-less for at least a week UGH !!! WTF

I struggled with the same decision a month or two ago. I ended up with the blue and don't regret it a bit. The black is nice, and maybe a touch more formal than the sporty blue, but there is just something about that classic TT and blue combo that makes it simply stunning. A synergy if you will...

Black. Stand out from the crowd. Looks a lot better on the wrist.

If you already have a black face I would go blue. Now, if this is your only Rolex after the sale of your SD; I would go with a black face.

for TT, blue is the way to go IMHO.
I have a old Tag and the black TT sub looks just like it....actually the other way around.
Blue color is much better and leave the black for the SS sub which is THE classic/iconic Rolex

You've got to go try them both on. I was SURE I wanted the blue until I tried on the black, then a week later, I tried them on again, and went back to blue. I then bought a black Expy2 later!

i've owned, almost every kind of rolex, in all colors, both of them were in my possesion at one point and i loved the black one more to be honest, but there is something about that blue one that makes you wanna pick it up sometimes

I have both. The blue is more casual/sporty and the black more clasic in my opinion.

Some like the blue dial, some like the black. It's all a matter of personal taste, and I went with what I liked. I don't find it too formal for everyday wear.

Black is the way to go. It's sporty and dressy at the same time, goes with any style of dress and any color and is less common than the blue. Plus, there is something very sophisticated about black and gold.
