Agree with others on this thread.
TT sub or subC go with blue, hands down. If you want black, go with the GMT IIC, looks incredible. Btw, I have both, wife loves the black TT GMT IIC. Something about the 16613 though, always loved that watch! |

Blue first and then add a tt GMT later if you're feeling it. The GMT is preferable in black IMHO. Love the little green second hand. That said, I own the blue but not the GMT...yet.

I lean toward the black combo these days. Aren't there two slightly different blues out there? The first cerachroms were a slightly lighter blue, right?

I've owned both and for me the blue was better. I only have a black one now. I will get a blue again. But on the behalf of the black lovers I see a lot less black ones on other wrists.

They are both are very nice.
I have a TT 16803 in black and a TT 16613 in blue. I purchased both new from a local AD a long time ago. The blue has been my favorite for a long time. It would be hard to choose which I would keep at this point. |

The early ceramic Subs were a flat blue, now they're a sunburst blue. I love both. This is one of the few 2 tone watches I'd wear.

Had the TT blue and wasn't for me. Felt like I had a disco ball on my wrist. I like a more subtle piece. If I did another TT I would def go black dial.

If you want to be amazed every time you look at your watch or timepiece, then go Blue!!!
I recently bought the new sunburst blue dial and can't stop admiring the different shades of the dial and also the new C bezel itself !!! Have any of you other new 2015 bluesy owners noticed the bezel changes shades of blue and bluish purple as well with different lighting ? Absolutely amazing .... But then black is black and pretty much black during day and black during the night ... You'll know what shade it will be when you look at it !!! It's elegant as well because it's a Rolex but for me it's a no brainer.... Bluesy all the way!!!! Here's my new bluesy in stunning daylight action !!!! |

I'd love to get some feedback from blue dial owners. Specifically, I would like to know about the versatility of it as a daily wearer with different types of dress and colours, for that matter. Is there ever a time that it doesn't go with something or looks out of place? Casual wear? Work suits? Maybe even formal wear?
I prefer the pop of the blue dial compared to the black however, I just don't know how much I would like it in the long term and may choose the black dial as a safe choice. Your 2 cents is appreciated. Thank you. |

The Blue dial is the nicest dial I've ever seen. The reason I love it is the light brings out green, blue, and it often even looks black to me depending on lighting conditions. The gold accents make the blue "pop" nicely without being tacky. My suggestion would be to grab a used one at half the price of a new. I have the new bracelet/clasp and adore it. I actually adjust my watch daily, or throughout the day and find the new clasp quite ingenious. The older models with the old bracelets are half the price and have the same appeal visually, to me. In any case, the blue dial absolutely works and the great thing is not everyone has a blue sub. A lot of guys would be too scared to for the blue or perhaps financially it's a gamble too. |

I posted a reply, but it's being approved by moderators, for some strange reason. Anyway, the blue works perfectly with casual, suits, tie, shorts, jeans, all across the board. I've worn the 2 tone blue dial for every occasion.. I even walk the dog wearing it just to keep it wound. I find it amazingly versatile. I have a Vacheron dress watch on leather strap that I wear as a "dress watch.." I find myself almost never wearing the Vacheron anymore.. instead favoring the SubC Blue dial... it's mesmerizing.. sometimes, it's black, other times, green.. other times blue.. the dial truly changes colors without EVER being garish.

what was surprising to me was the Hulk subc didn't quite "pop" the way the blue dial does... perhaps it's the gold accents... not sure. I wasn't nearly as impressed with the Hulk Sub as with the blue and I love green as a color!

I'm not a huge fan of the 2-tones, mostly because yellow gold just doesn't suite me, but if I were to own one it would be the black. This is one damn sexy watch!

Quick impression about the two-tone models as it was the first time I was able to try on both models at the same time... what impressed me about the blue two-tone, is it didn't look quite as two-tone as the black did. For some reason the blue seems to tone down the yellow gold and work more homogeneously with the stainless steel. I'm getting close to pulling the trigger on a bluesy. |

Black all day every day. The blue is a thing of beauty, but it just screams its presence from the wrist. The black whispers.
