A few disclaimers:

1. This is not an attempt to sell, whichever I decide to let go, has already been spoken for

2. They are from the same year (1980)

3. I love them equally

4. I would like to keep whichever is more rare

With that in mind, I thank you in advance for your kind opinion.

Tough decision. ;)

No pics? Voted to keep blue since I like that more with a snowflake. I don't think one color is more rare than the other when it comes to a 1980 snowflake.

Thanks guys!!

Now it's tougher. Condition on blue looks a bit better but I really, really love no-dates when it comes to subs. Nice patina as well.

Rarity wise the no-date is probably a bit more rare.

I would keep the no date. The patina looks great!

I too would say black ! I like the classic look of a Sub without a date . I own both a Rolex Submariner & Tudor Submariner both no dates both black , 1969 & 1970 . I guess my vote would be kind of 1 sided .
- ultimately you have to ask yourself if you can live without a date .

Gotta say Black... great combo of patina and no date. But there really is no wrong answer here is there?

I voted for you to keep the Blue Snowie but I really really wish you could keep both.

no-date is the keeper

Do you own either a 5513 or a 1680?

If you only own one of the above, then keep the Tudor equivalent of the other.

Thus,

If you own a 5513, but not a 1680, then keep the 94110

If you own a 1680, but not a 5513, then keep the 94010

...of course, if you already own a 5513 and a 1680, then you're on your own - although I'd suggest that you ignore the question of 'rarity' and concentrate on which one sings to you more. If you wear the 94010, do you miss the date function? Do you look at the 94110 and find the dial a little cluttered vs. the cleaner, simpler look of the no-date? Do you have a whole bunch of watches with black faces and want the color alternative of the 94110?

I'm not much help, am I?

In order of rarity on the 94 series snowflake:

Blue 9401
Black 9401
Blue 9411
Black 9411

For that reason, keep the 9401.

I vote this as to me it makes the most sense and at leas it what I would do.

If you have both already then keep the Blue as you an always where the Rolex when you want black. JMO.

Keep the Blue ! its harder to find such a clean dial... the black one is really nice as well. both are investment grade pieces. what are you trading it for???
