My vote would be the blue dial, but both look great.

Good luck!

If you have some gold in the collection and no blue, then get the blue. Or vice versa if you have blue and no gold in the collection, then get the gold. If you have both gold and blue then get the one that calls you the most!!

Did you happen to try the white dial? That s my favourite from the bunch at the Basel release

The two tone looks good on you, gotta go with your heart on this one

No , they didn't have the white , I really wanted to check it out!

They had the black in both , but really similar to the blue at a glance

But then the blue can be worn more casual , sporty, I don't think there is a wrong choice to be made , maybe I'll just go with whatever comes in first

I like the blue. It does look very large in these pictures though.
