Classic dilemma ;) TT Sub black or blue ??? Need advice...

[PascalSwiss]

I never took a lot of pictures and definitely never of my wrist. I need to get used to this now

Am I the only one thinking that it is not easy to capture a nice pic of a watch ?

I feel like my phone doesn't do the job but anyways...here it is.

P.S. I considered both, gmt and SG Tudor. Still went Sub.

I love the black TT

This forum prefers the blue and the sunburst dial is beautiful. I think the black is classier. But that's just me. What matters is what works best for you.

This.

I’ve tried the blue with intent to buy quite a few times. Whilst the blue dial is beautiful, the whole package seems too shouty to me. For some bizarre reason, it seems to me to look completely different on the wrist to what it does in the cabinet. Beautiful watch but I couldn’t wear it.

As said above, the blue gets a lot of love here but I much prefer the black. Great choice, congrats

Thank you Ruud.

The Gmt's in these pictures are nice no doubt

The arguments why I did not choose the TT GMT although I do like the green writing on the dial and the green second timezone hand:

- No need of three timezone indicators (I don't travel that much)
- The bezel is a bit busy in TT
- The Submariner clasp
- The Submariner legacy

Guys. I don't want to span this out for ever. We just break it down for future people who might have the same dilemma and stumble over this thread.

I tried another pyjama wrist shot this morning

Still, the pic does not caption the time piece very well. I would need a camera upgrade to do so but anyways...a couple people asked for more photos so I'll attach one more...

Ciao

P.S. @Lawisme My wife told me the bluesy was for the James Bond of Dubai Meaning it's very bling bling and in your face Made me laugh and kind of killed it for me

[Passionata]

tt or full YG or WG with blue dial is killer combo!

My man , my wife told me the same thing, and when I told her I got the all gold with the blue she said that she hates it, and that I'm stupid for going for that, and I should get the black face.

Guess what happened when she saw the blue face in person- she couldn't stop staring at it. She's in love with it now. It took some time, but I eventually made the right decision. I hope the black face is the right decision for you, and you don't lose a few thousand dollars due to making the wrong decision, or picking the watch that you will let it later it gets sick of and regret

If you want watch to be bit more flashy then blue. Otherwise black

Congratulations! Excellent choice!

I think the wife will always be the ultimate decision maker.

[ennea]

Bluesy may be mesmerizing, but the Black TT is more "quiet", more subtle and time-resilient in its own right..

Thank you

Well, practically it was a spontaneous non-WIS opinion.

Of corse I do estimate my wife upmost and she knows me in and out what helped her coming up with a hammer argument.

But all-around I just think decisions in a couple should be made together...but remember one saying: "Happy wife, Happy life."

I absolutely agree ... My beautiful wife gifted me the TT and was ok with me upgrading all gold. But for the LN not the LB. But she loves the LB. But that TT made me so happy for several years. I hope you enjoy it in good health, and get many more that you love.

Behind every great man, there's a great woman.
Thank you. Same to you Lawisme

Classic black beats blue bling to my eye every time - esp for everyday wear...

Taste is subjective, choose what feels right; if you feel like you might be wrong that isn't the one for you...

I agree. Blue is beautiful and in your face, if you like attention get the bluesy. If its your only watch then the black for sure

[Lucifer]

I was offered black open card around 13k turned it down and one from AD in a week of visit.
I ultimately bought blue more sportier and stunning

[Lucifer]

If you want black just buy SS don’t waste additional 4K on TT my 2 cents

[Jayhawk1]

This thread is over two years old. I wonder if Pascal is still happy with his decision. I hope he is as I prefer the black and gold. Since Pascal pointed out his military education, and if he is/ was in the Swiss army, then it might be of interest to him that black and gold are the official colors of the U.S. Army signifying knowledge and achievement!

Go Army, beat Navy!

If one and done. Black. I would actually get the SS version. For a collection blue. Get the black SS and in the future with the funds you save get a blue DJ41. I want to say the difference around $5k difference for a SS and a two tone. You can pick up a SS blue DJ41 for around 7k. So for an extra 2k you can get 2 iconic rolexes.
