Black for me, the blue is too one dimensional for my liking, but at the end of the day, it's your choice.

100% black for me! I've never been crazy about the TT blue sub. To me, the TT black is sporty and elegant at the same time. Very classy!

I would pick blue dial in TT. The blue and gold does go nicely together. The SS sub will probably be black so I would want something very different and the blue looks very different.

Black. Very classic. The blue dial on a TT watch is not dark enough in my opinion. On the WG it looks fine to me.

however, i love the WG blue Sub though, the smurfy blue goes very well with the WG colour, then again, the price is in a different league than the TT versions which other Rolex/watches do you have? this may help us out too |

If you go black, get the GMT2c. That's how I see it.

I have the 16613 with a black dial. If I was going to buy the blue dial, I'd look for a mint older model with the deeper blue dial rather than the "baby blue" dial. Not a fan.

I've seen both in person at my local AD and much preferred the BLACK.
Far more distinctive, sporty and dressy at the same time. JJ

TT Black for me. It fits any cloth styles & colours, and it's more subtle.

I currently have a SS GMT IIC, love the TT GMT IIC but I am looking for a variety. That's why I decided to go with the TT Sub C. I love the YM in platinum or TT but I don't own a YACHT yet is it normal to own a YM without a Yacht? |

because you already have the GMT IIC two tone, I vote for the blue sub. Mix it up a bit, know what I mean?

Whoops, I guess you have a stainless GMTIIc;
nonetheless, mix up the bezel color a bit. |

Black
I have held both in my hands and while the blue has a depth to it you just don't see in photos, it still looks too cartoonish compared to the previous shade of blue in the older TT subs. My opinion only of course.
