BB Poll, Again...

A number of months back a poll was conducted by Adam using the photo below and asking which color Black Bay is the forum's favorite. I'd like to open the question again with a fresh poll.

First to vote for blue. They all look great but there's just something special about blue.

I started that because the French Navy used the originals as divers.

I had the blue and loved it but needed funds to finance my Explorer. I really want another Black Bay, but it'll be the Black this time.

I love them all but if I have to pick only one then it's probably the black bezel.

For me in order

Blue
Black
Red

I prefer the blue by a considerable amount. Both the Black & Red are great too and I would love to have any of them in my collection

I purchased the red and love it, but I would like to have a black one too!

Where's the gent that has all three?

I like them all but if I had to choose: red > blue > black.

Red. I'm in the minority of vintage fans that doesn't quite "get" gilt dials. Gold, on black, but with a white case? I'm woefully behind the times. And I won't wear brown shoes with a black suit.

Then red, then black.

But I really do like them all for different reasons.

Red, Black Blue. However, were it to be my only watch...I could see where it might make sense to go with the black!
