I have the black dial on my tt Sub-C.
I looked at various watches for, literally, years before I got mine.
Black, as noted in previous posts, goes with everything.
If you wore a generic brand green watch to a formal occasion, I doubt how "put together" you'd look to the other attendees. Even if it were the Rolex, most of them would not be devotees such as those of us here in the Forum and recognize it for what it is. I would submit most people aren't even aware Rolex makes a watch in green. IMHO, the green is a fad of sorts whereas the black (and blue) dial will be in demand for years to come.
It's a classic for a reason (and not because I bought one). And, I recognize I am off-putting those who have the green dial. What I've written is simply my highly biased opinion, not a fact.
Good luck in your search. You are very fortunate to be able to get one in either case.
Happy New Year and best of health to all of you.
