I don't think there is a wrong answer - I like the blue better but enjoy the black very much.

scottschoe · 5 November 2008, 06:19 AM

Black TT...black and gold contrast is beautiful

Need I say more . . . .

rolex_addict · 5 November 2008, 06:28 AM

blue dial looks better IMO :)

chazha · 5 November 2008, 07:00 AM

Dont let us decide for you. :-D I would take the blue one even if everyone says black.

Art 1 · 5 November 2008, 07:54 AM

I like and have blue. So get blue.

Vallhalla68 · 5 November 2008, 09:06 AM

Blue

Let me pose another viewpoint for consideration. The black and blue dial TT Subs are both extraordinary watches and you cannot go wrong with either one. Here was my train of thought that led my choosing the blue dial Sub, and this is just my personal opinion.

The TT subs are absolute classics. Some see them as outdated, but I see them as a timeless icon of Rolex. The TT Blue face Rolex Sub is quite possibly the most popular and most recognized watch in the world. Another classic, (that I learned to admire in my short time here) is the SS Sub. Now this Sub only comes in a black face version (with the LV as an exception). Maybe to say it better, blue isn't an option on an SS Sub. So, to me, I chose the TT blue face and added the SS black face to my wish list. Both of these watches will carry extremely high demand over the long haul and both can be reasonably argued as the best. I see the choice to pick the TT blue as the perfect opportunity to one day own the two classics in terms of Submariners.

There are too many other interesting, neat, and desirable Rolex's for me to seriously consider owning two TT Subs (blue and black). Quite simply, too many other Rolex models would be higher on my list to collect. So, owning a TT blue and one day a SS black will represent the two icons of the Submariner and will also show significant diversity between the two watches.

Both are nices, but perhaps I prefer the blue dial.......Regards!

Perdu · 5 November 2008, 10:35 AM

Well if you ever want to change from blue to black or black to blue you can always change the bezel and dial. I think Rolex will do this?

nbpd7208 · 5 November 2008, 10:44 AM

although the two are iconic, the bluesy IMO is a little more of a personal statement that says I'm an individual, I don't really care what you think. It's being a little louder but with great taste.

SLS · 5 November 2008, 10:57 AM

I really like the the Blue dial...

astcell · 5 November 2008, 11:03 AM

That blue is BLUE. My blue is almost purple.

Bisquitlips · 5 November 2008, 12:00 PM

Black and Blue!

Sounds like a bruise!

I have always liked the blue Submariner, but the black is also superb! You can't go wrong either way in my opinion!

eric23 · 5 November 2008, 01:01 PM

The Blue is nice but I would go with the Black!

SS Oyster · 5 November 2008, 05:12 PM

The Bluesy looks cheesy to me to be honest. I can see why Rolex is changing to a much more muted blue in the new WG blue sub - that one will be nice I think.

Andad · 5 November 2008, 05:31 PM

Mark Colby said Bluey is cheesy. C'mon your having me on.

When compared side by side the new YG blue ceramic is the same colour as my TT Blue sub - I can't see any difference.

Singslinger · 5 November 2008, 06:48 PM

No contest for me - blue all the way.

I dont' care for PVD much, but this sounds very cool, indeed.

I love my blue Sub but Larry's martini picture always makes me start drooling for the black. It is very elegant and a bit more dressy.

marshallr47 · 5 November 2008, 09:17 PM

I do own the blue and I love it. It looks awesome in the sunlight. The dial just jumps out at you. The choice is up to you though and which one you truly like. Good luck on your decision.

pricojorge · 6 November 2008, 12:51 AM

i went with blue
but once its paid off i will get a Two Tone Rolex that has a black dial, maybe a daytona, or the submariner, but lets hope for christmas :D

Armand · 6 November 2008, 05:09 AM

That dial blue is INCREDIBLE!

I never would buy that watch in black ( but I adore my GMT Coke ), only with blue bezel, but the TT Sub with blue bezel is also available with white Serti dial with Diamonds and Sapphires ... mmmmh ...
