Feel lucky? Post a FS: Buyer's Choice of Color ad here.

Buyer selects one, pays, and you no longer need to make a decision!

(I'm joking, but so was your AD...)

If you can keep both do it. No mater which you choose to sell you will always regret it.

I'd say black. I feel the blue on the new subs does not have the same punch as the older models...it looks like plastic. That's just my opinion though and to those who love the new blue.

Honestly I like both. How about selling me the other for the price you paid which is about $7200 USD... Dead serious BTW. PM

I have the same quarrel occurring within my mind. However I must say I'm leaning towards black.

Black is way classier. The blue one is too flashy. The used car salesman who sold my mom her 2005 Ford Focus wore a blue Rolex. I never liked blue dial watch since.

The reason the choice is so tough is because you need to sell them both and get the WG blue face. Only then will you find inner peace.

Try putting on several of your most worn shirts and/or sweaters and then try each watch and see which you prefer more.

I know for some people (myself included) it's more difficult to choose the one you really want.

I still have a bnib ss Sub c and debating to keep or sell and get a GMT c.

I've had buyers and sellers remorse more than once.

Also, ask your family members (this could make matters worse).

I'd try the shirt idea and let us know. Can you take some pics with your favorite shirts??

Definitely the black for me, something about the blue ceramic bezel doesn't look right IMO, the old version was much sharper.

Keep it simple....

Choose the one which keeps the best time....we are certain you must have tracked the timekeeping of them both by this point....so which one is more accurate?

In TT the black was (and remains) my choice...The black in my opinion just looks better both in TT and in YG than the new blue and goes with all colors. The new blue, on the other hand, beats them all in WG....IMHO.
