I'm biased but IMO the LV green murders the blue, it is just more interesting and unique.

That said, the solid gold is a stunner still and has a luster to it.

The Q is what are your thoughts OP (I'm betting you will go blue lol).

+1 to this. I'm also biased owning one but definitely enjoy the blue on the Smurf. I'm also not a big TT fan (at least for now) and probably one of the reasons I don't like the combo. Just my $.02 of course.

I actually like them both equally.

And I like the ink dark look of them in the shade rather than the sunburst look under light.

There's a reason blue was part of the line up for decades before green.

I love the blue. It has a lot of depth. I’m obviously in the minority but the green with that bezel has a cheap feel to me.
