With that being said, if money really weren't an issue I'd definitely go for the blue Sub. I wish they offered that in SS so I can afford it! Blue is also my favorite color so I'm biased

I am assuming the OP is referring to yellow gold for both... 116618 blue or black? Assuming this is the case I am for the blue hands down but make certain it is the new release (2013) darker shade of blue dial

Of course for the WG 116619 it is the smurf and this is stunning too

OP, we need some guidance, what metal are you considering?

antbkny · 21 May 2014, 10:43 AM

My preference for the sub is classic black

joshuaray · 21 May 2014, 10:45 AM

Blue!

sea-dweller · 21 May 2014, 10:51 AM

Blue is awesome!

Get a GMTII BLNR (Batman) and you can have both colors.

I think blue is 1000x more versatile. I never wear black anymore - I'm wearing a green t-shirt, blue chambray shorts, and brown boat shoes - would black go with that? Nope. Would black go with my blue shirt, brown shoes, brown belt, and chinos at work? Nope.

Why not get them all?

Ryuden · 21 May 2014, 06:50 PM

Which blue? Two tone? WG? YG?

I get that you like blue, I do too, but everything you say here is patently not true, just enjoy the colour you like and relax about justifying why.

Ditto

Buy the black and you will probably wish you bought the blue. Buy the blue and you will probably flip it for a all gold day date in search of something flashier.

ROLEX* · 21 May 2014, 11:59 PM

WG Blue and SS Black only.
No TT

Mystro · 22 May 2014, 12:02 AM

X2 and blue can only be had with gold.

What's a fart for one that crapped his pants? Get both with no effort if money not a problem.

ROLEX* · 22 May 2014, 03:31 PM

spend wisely ;-)

up2nogood · 22 May 2014, 03:40 PM

Bought both. Sold black. But you're the one who has to look at it, so pick what you like. Both are very different watches, despite being the same design.

Hairdude1 · 22 May 2014, 03:56 PM

I say blue!

sierra11b · 22 May 2014, 03:58 PM

Why is this even a question? Smurf or YG Sunburst all day long! And I don't have the means of owning either!

submariner123 · 23 May 2014, 01:18 AM

Sub has got to be black.

Mine is too, but blue is unarguably a good colour for a diver.

ROLEX* · 23 May 2014, 04:50 PM

hahaha, interesting discussion...

Educate me, what is the meaning of Sunburst?
Are YG Blue, TT Blue and WG Blue different in gradients?
