first time to make the purchase for a rolex, between these two colors, deepsea black or d-blue? thanks guys.

NineToes · 26 June 2019, 04:22 AM

Deep blue

ferrissteve11 · 26 June 2019, 04:23 AM

Go with THE classic: Black
Have you had a chance to see both in person?

drtii · 26 June 2019, 04:24 AM

well, I have the black and I like that dial more than D-Blue and had the option to buy either. Though, it's for sale so ultimately I don't think the DSSD is perfect for me.

T01 · 26 June 2019, 04:28 AM

Both are great options. If I had others in my collection I'd be more drawn to the D Blue but for a one and only Black for sure. It's really clean.

hitman23 · 26 June 2019, 04:29 AM

if you can wear a DSSD, no question it's the Dblue

TswaneNguni · 26 June 2019, 04:33 AM

D-Blue since its worth more in the ,Black since it looks better .

I have the 116660 and its the most worn in my collection.The workhorse .Solid piece of tough steel.

If I can find one I will gladly ad a 126660 in Black to my collection.
Personally, not fond of the black to blue dial and green lettering .

Cooper33 · 26 June 2019, 04:38 AM

D-Blue - in person it is 100x better than the pics show

tgyberg · 26 June 2019, 04:56 AM

Big Blue! Again, in person it is awesome!

Gerry62 · 26 June 2019, 05:01 AM

Black

mjclark32 · 26 June 2019, 05:08 AM

Blue, I've seen a few in the "wild" and they're beauties. Good luck

TonyD · 26 June 2019, 05:11 AM

I have owned both and vote for the Blue. Indoors and most of the time the dial appears black. Its only if you look at it on purpose that the beautiful dials shows its true colors. The blue is not radiant or off putting. Even the crazy green text is not blatant or obvious.

The black is a true classic but the blue is amazing.

iheartrolexx · 26 June 2019, 05:17 AM

deep blue

Mr.Rolex1 · 26 June 2019, 05:18 AM

I prefer Deep Blue

omx5o · 26 June 2019, 05:22 AM

No frills black.

cts · 26 June 2019, 05:43 AM

I prefer black.

Bigblu10 · 26 June 2019, 05:46 AM

Deep Blue! The dial is fantastic. No contest whatsoever.

Urosfan · 26 June 2019, 05:49 AM

Deep blue

petay993 · 26 June 2019, 05:55 AM

Black, no frills, monochrome, engineering excellence

Phil.Oliver · 26 June 2019, 05:59 AM

deep blue

KBM · 26 June 2019, 06:00 AM

Black for me. Never got over the lime green text.

travisb · 26 June 2019, 06:10 AM

Both are great but the D-Blue dial is something special.

Agreed.
It's hard to go past the basic black dial for a good allrounder.

marselluswallace · 26 June 2019, 08:25 AM

Black for me but love the blue as well

Walts · 26 June 2019, 08:30 AM

D-blue . Nothing beats that beautiful shade of blue. And that green lettering wow.

10XRolex · 26 June 2019, 08:50 AM

I had the black then switched to the blue and never looked back.
