Icon20 Blue VS Black Dial?

Hey Everyone,
Looking to purchase a new yellow gold sub but not sure of dial/bezel color?
Ive had TT blue and it looked great but think it may be to much on the all gold version.... What Ya'll think?

I think the blue looks way better. But it's what you think that matters.

I've traditionally opted for the black dial in the past. I'm on my second TT Sub (16803 & 116613). I felt the blue may not go with whatever I was wearing. Lately I have to say I am enamored with the blue. I've recently added the Blue dialed YG sub to my short list of future watches. I feel like I was playing it safe with the black and realized the blue has so much more presence. If giver the choice, I'd go blue. Happy hunting.

I vote blue, for reasons I explained in this thread. You might find it helpful to read over.

Blue for bling
Black for a bit more subtle

Both great, but Sunburst blue is hard to beat.

Black for me, less bling, but really can't go wrong with either one

I think like you do, prefer the TT blue but if I went full gold it would be black.

I went with black. I love the way the black dial and bezel set the yellow gold off.

Do you still have the TT Blue? If yes, then go for the black.... no need for two blue dial watches, even though the blue looks better!

Try both of them on, and see which one sings to you!
