Submariner TT Blue or Submariner Geen on Green

Which one do you prefer--Submariner TT Blue or Submariner green on green?
I'd need to get an older Submariner Blue but newer green. I'd have to give up newer Explorer 39 & Tudor BlackBay Red on bracelet to make it happen.

LVc for the combo of brushed SS, green dial and glidelock. Not sure I'd give up two great watches for one, though.

Big fan of the TT blue here, so that's my vote.

Agree, if you are going to give up a few watches better be for some gold and the Bluesy.

i own the LV. Great watch. I would love to have the TT Blue Sub as well to add to the collection. Blue may be more versatile if your line of work requires business dress.

I would go green, nothing against the TT, just don't think it would work for ME. You should get whichever you like better. As far as trading away the BB and explorer to get it... SubC for me anyday over those. I do like the red BB a lot though.

I really like both but went with the LVC. Prefer SS over TT. Also prefer newer ceramic references over the older.

Tough decision, but if it came down to it. I think the LVC stays

Me too. I saw the green a couple times and it was a flat green if I remember correctly. A sunburst green like the Hulk would be better IMO.

If the OP is looking for something less common, he may want to go green.

Green (Hulk) for me, but the TT is also very beautiful...
