Couldn't decide between 116613LB or 116613LN so this happened...

So I struggled with this dilemma for a long time and then had the opportunity to pick up both of them.Initially bought the black dial in February (2015 watch) and then today bought the blue dial (2016 watch a few weeks old)

Thing is I can't keep both, it makes no sense so one of them has to go. I'm polling the community here. I think I love both of them equally and I also have a Deep Sea along with a black ceramic Daytona. Which one of the two offers the best symbiosis?

Please help

Personally I like the blue more.
If you can swing it, get rid of them both for a 116618...

I'd keep the blue dial if the choice were mine.

Easy choice. Keep the blue since you'll lack blue if it goes however you won't lack black or gold if LN goes. Besides, blue one looks better IMO.

The Blue is really, really nice. I think the gold really compliments the blue in a really lovely way - good problem to have! Enjoy :)

owned a blue and black together ,,,, older non ceramics though ,,, the blue catches the eye and is flashier ,,, black more tool like ,,,,

Sounds like you have black dials covered. Given your DSSD and Daytona I'd keep the blue face TT sub for a change..

I'm going to go against the grain and say black. Blue looks like something an Italian guido would wear.

LB by far! Also provides some dial color diversity with your current line up.
