I am thinking of getting a Submariner two tone watch and I am debating whether to get one with a Black or Blue dial. Anyway, for all of you out there, if you had to choose between a Black or Blue two toned Rolex Submariner, which shall it be?
Thanks in advance.

Sunburst blue

Maiden · 15 December 2015, 01:41 AM

I recently chose the blue version, to me it is a classic rolex model. That being said it was easy for me as I have a 114060 so I already had a black dialed watch. If it was going to be my only rolex or if I didn't have other black dial models in my collection, I would strongly consider the black dial version, it is more versatile IMO. No wrong answer here. Good luck in your search. That sunburst dial is amazing though. Mine says hello.

Mystro · 15 December 2015, 01:49 AM

Blue all the way. It's a stand out among all watches in the watch world.

namussuz bilo · 15 December 2015, 02:31 AM

Without hesitation definately blue.

Eric Chan · 15 December 2015, 02:35 AM

Blue would be my choice without question, especially since Rolex changed the blue dial to the sunburst blue dial. This happened a couple of years ago.

For a black dial TT sport watch, I would go with the GMT Master II.

Here is a shot of my old TT blue Sub.

sea-dweller · 15 December 2015, 02:45 AM

Blue, for sure!

Is this the Sunburst Blue Submariner?
Thanks.

The old blue TT dial and the new Sunburst cannot be beat!

Very true.

Probably the reason why Rolex changed the dial back to resemble the old TT blue Sub dial.

jrs146 · 15 December 2015, 04:24 AM

I'm with the majority here - Blue all the way 👍

I want to add this experience. I own many fine brands of watches and all of them do a beautiful black divers watch. There is a sea of beautiful black watches out there. Rolex TT sunburst blue dial sets itself apart from the crowd in a big way. It is not a watch that sits in the corner and pretends not to be noticed. There is enough Rolex models that will go without a second glance if that's your style. The TT blue screams "notice me". Rolex Sunburst blue TT Sub has been around along time and isn't a trendy flashy watch but rather a time proven signature classic so it doesn't come across as garish. This is a Rolex from the days when their customers were not trying to hide their watches but rather wanted a beautiful stand out divers watch that matched their lifestyle. It looks as good diving or in casual attire as it does with a suit. Whatever you are wearing the watch will "pop" and stand out in a classy way.

Agree with Eric on those pairings.

blue lion · 15 December 2015, 10:05 AM

Blue here also.

oyster1 · 15 December 2015, 10:05 AM

I'm rather biased as I have the TT black - in my opinion it is more versatile but still packs a punch! However don't be swayed by others - you decide what YOU prefer !

rmlovett1 · 15 December 2015, 10:45 AM

Blue, no doubt!

kirksingleton · 15 December 2015, 10:56 AM

I bought the tt blue ceramic sunburst and the Black SS sub/date.

Old Geezer · 15 December 2015, 11:07 AM

You can't go wrong with either choice. I wore a TT black sub for 10 years. At the time I bought my TT sub I had been wearing a SS sub for 12 years. I knew I wanted a TT sub but could not make the leap to the blue, it just screamed too loudly for me.
I like the blue a lot more know and wouldn't shy away but recently the TT GMTc sang louder. Good luck with your final choice and post pics when you pull the trigger.

Mr. K · 15 December 2015, 11:52 AM

I went blue, but both are nice for sure.

Black TT for me. The blue looks cool but I feel that black goes with everything. Happy hunting.

rkammer · 15 December 2015, 03:29 PM

I'll hang with the apparent minority on this one. It's black two tone for me and it's not even close. As has been said previously, the bluesy just jumps out too much and won't go well with certain colors and types of outfits. The black is also more elegant IMO. You have to suit yourself in the long run.
