Dilemma....green or blue

[massie8250]

Members....I need help. This is my first, but important (to me anyway), post! Long time lurker, first time poster.

I was lucky enough to snatch a BB58 blue on the release day from the AD. Earlier this week, I also received "the" email from Harrods, confirming a black bay Harrods special edition was sat and waiting for me to collect within 7 days. I drive to London tomorrow to collect .

Unfortunately, finances dictate, I really shouldn't / can't keep both, with the likelihood of a new house purchase in the coming months (among other things), my finances really should be kept as liquid as possible. Therefore, sadly, one has to go.

The blue sings to me - the case size, blue on white dial, I grew up in awe of the 5 digit subs and love the silhouette of the case, which the bb58 pretty much nails at 50% of the current costs. It ticks a lot of boxes, with pretty much zero downsides.

The green - its a very special piece, maybe more interesting than the blue (story wise), aesthetically I'm probably split 50/50 between the two. The extra thickness of the case may be an issue for my 6.5 inch wrist, I do however intend to put it on NATO. Also, and probably most importantly, I am still yet to see the BBH in person.

For completeness, the other watch in my collection is a 214270 explorer mkII dial. I vowed my next would be something more colourful, interesting and well, more of a weekend warrior than board room beater.

So what do you think guys? Will I be blown away when I see the BBH in person? Which do you prefer? And which is the keeper?
