The blue has less artificial patina. Gets my vote.

I think pretty equal just different look. #1 more hard looking and can wear with anything but a little cold. #2 softer look but with more personality. Just depends what fits your style better. Can’t go wrong with either. I don’t like the faint patina look of #1 though.

Depends what else is in the collection. As an only piece, #1.

#2 but on a bracelet. Otherwise , I’d go with #1. I’m not a fan of blue straps.

#1 Brown, do you have enough blue already within your collection?

Since I’m on Tapatalk I’m unable to poll or even see what others have polled although I strongly suspect the choice between the gilt/black vs blue should be pretty close to a 50/50 split. That said my personal choice is the gilt/black although personally I’m trending in the direction of the slightly smaller BB54 with T-Fit SS bracelet. However the only opinion that matters at all is the one who actually decides to make the purchase.

As shown, #1. But I'd choose #2 if that was on steel bracelet. Good luck!

#1 and it’s not even close. Though I would prefer a steel bracelet. Not a fan of #2 at all.

On those bracelets, def 1. That blue strap is hideous.

I would go for BB58 Blue. I have never liked glit dials.

I don't like gilt but would choose black if I didn't have a black dial already, otherwise blue FTW.

I might favor this as well, but if not, then #1 (as blue strap with blue watch = too much blue for me - appears whimsical, not serious)
