Blue all the way. Love mine. It's the only piece in my collection that anyone comments on and say how much they love. Even non-watch people love the blue. Here's the secret, I didn't buy bluesy to impress others, I bought it to say "wow" every time I put it on.

Black. The blue screams gawdy to me, but ymmv. I guess you'll get yays from owners and nays from those who opted not to go with it in the end. Go with what you like.

Here is a shot of my old TT blue Sub.
Don't listen to Eric. His comments and pictures will get you into selecting the TT Blue. I know someone who did.

Blue. I'm not a big fan of two tone watches but I feel like the blue is just enough colour that it makes the two tone sub not so gaudy.

Out of curiosity, if a Rolex Submariner two tone has the old Matte Blue dial, would it be possible to change it to the new Sunburst dial?
Thanks.

Love the blue in pictures, however for me personally I would go black.

We have both in our family and my daughter and i often compare and rib each other. I have occasionally worn the black head on my bracelet and I like the white lettering on the dial. But the blue wins it for me because it is so lovely. It also looks almost black in some indoor lighting situations yet blooms into a smart blue in sunlight. Blue every time, for me.

Definitely the TT Sunburst dial! I still don't know why I sold it.
