Black if you simply must have one. I had one years ago, almost comedy big.

Did the same. The black is awesome but the D blue is just a notch above.

Yes, black is better and I love the inflated shape of my 116660

Black.

I own one, and as it's my only Rolex diver so I prefer the classic black look. If I had a Sub or a Sea Dweller I think I would have gone for the D-Blue.

The D-Blue dial is extraordinary, but for some reason I don't like the Green font of DEEPSEA. Then again, nothing is perfect and they are both superbly engineered machines.

I have, and love my black dial DSSD, but I'm waiting on the D-Blue from my AD so I can see both side by side and make my decision as to which I prefer being I've never seen the D-Blue in the flesh.

In regards to this pic - the Pelagos looks so good and right at home in that line up. What an under-rated watch, in my opinion..

I really need to go in and have a look at the blue dial in person.

I got the blue because they didn't have the black. If you see them both together, buy them both.

Definitely D-Blue! The wait isn't long for those relatively.

Black looks okay. If you want to add colour change your shirt.

Yesterday I finally had the opportunity to see the D-Blue side by side with my black dial which I was considering switching to. Although the D-Blue dial is nice, I think (?) I'm going to be keeping my black dial. I do need to see the D-Blue again, though, before making a final definite decision.
