No brainer for me, the deep blue!

904VT · 29 June 2019, 12:16 AM

LN if your only watch or smaller collection, D Blue if part of a rotation imo

mercman · 29 June 2019, 12:18 AM

Deep Blue all day long.

RolexFan007 · 29 June 2019, 01:15 AM

D Blue anyday

ralfcom · 29 June 2019, 01:29 AM

the JC looks great in the sun.

tgyberg · 29 June 2019, 01:41 AM

Ok 31 to 16 in favor of the D-Blue so far

Gravity · 29 June 2019, 02:21 AM

For the DeepSea it just has to be the Blue. If you are leaning towards black go for the SD43 imo or....the best of both worlds and get both ;)

Rsubnodate · 29 June 2019, 02:26 AM

D blue all day

t65tampa · 29 June 2019, 03:27 AM

I like the black dial more. Had one of the first 116660 models that my AD got when they came out. I liked the newer models with its updates, so picked one up earlier this year.

For me, the simple black/white contrasts of the dial appeal to me more than the blue gradient and pale green lettering.

No matter what dial you like and regardless of version, the Deep Sea is a killer watch.

Deep blue definitely if you can get at retail price

dyong28 · 29 June 2019, 04:36 AM

DoctorA · 29 June 2019, 05:42 AM

Rolex makes so many black dial but ONLY one of a kind deep blue gradient dial!

Deffo don’t lose on a D Blue, the blacks do drop in price slightly.

Muxi · 29 June 2019, 05:47 PM

I must say Deep blue

lcs77 · 29 June 2019, 07:50 PM

Deepblue not even close

mml4 · 29 June 2019, 08:40 PM

I bought the Blue and never regretted it!

Tampashooter · 29 June 2019, 11:40 PM

The lime green is horrendous to me, and unless you're in great light, the blue dial simply looks like a bad black dial. Black is the business.

MJ997S · 29 June 2019, 11:49 PM

I have worn a 16622 Yachtmaster as my daily for 12 years and love it. As soon as I saw the d-blue in person though, I had to have it. I have never had that reaction to any other watch before and have tried on many. My yachtmaster has not come out of the winder since I picked up the JC and it is my new daily.

desmomini · 30 June 2019, 12:00 AM

I got the black simply because it was offered to me, and the wrist presence is absurdly cool. I don't you can wrong with either.

Well both are LNs. The dial color is the question. In any case I have bought the Deepsea three times, the one that stayed and will stay is the D-Blue.

If a small amount of lime green is a turn off to someone that’s a valid point (I don’t love green myself) and nothing can be done about it, but having a watch that often appears black, then sometimes a dark blue then in the right light turns a lustrous blue is a plus in my mind.

blue lion · 1 July 2019, 02:46 AM

blue for me

Agree, blue is the way to go!

GrandCanyon · 1 July 2019, 02:53 AM

I purchased a Black Dial DS as it was available. I like both the JC and the Black. And the black DS nicely complements my 16750, all black GMT.

rmlovett1 · 1 July 2019, 02:58 AM

Really love them both! I’ve had this watch a couple times, have sworn it off because it’s ... JUST A BIT too thick, or on the verge of too big, or big to my eye vs my others, etc.....but I can pull it off

I must say this is the one with such a “cant put my finger on it” thing....that keeps me coming back

I may have to bite the bullet again at some point
