Bluesy vs black and gold

Same watch just different color so it’s just personal preference but I’d love to hear people’s opinions.
To me it’s apples and oranges. Love the bright fun blue, but also love the refined black.

Black dial for me every single time. I’ve never liked the sunburst blue dial with the flat blue of the bezel. Also the black dial is the far less “obvious” choice iMO.

Bluesy all the way. Everyone has a black-faced sub. Blue dial/bezel is special.

Blue. No contest. But I don’t dislike the black one.

Bluesy with the sunburst dial.....it's one of the most beautiful two-tone that Rolex produced

I am considering the two tone sub as my next purchase as I like yellow gold accent. I like the LN to be it’s sporty and not as loud saw a guy wearing one at Costco a few weeks ago really nice in person.

Bluesy for me but I am biased as I own one. I have tried on the LN and it just didn't sing to me.

I am always biased towards black dial watches. The only 2 tone watches I’ve owned are yellow gold and black dials. I would go black, personally. But that’s for ME. I think Bluesy is actually superior due to the sunburst blue dial.

LN for me every time. The LB is a bit too loud.

How easy is it to buy a fully-brushed ss bracelet to replace the two tone? My ideal sub has only the gold accents on dial and bezel. Just to be clear, I am talking about buying the ss bracelet in addition to the standard…..if that is even possible. Thoughts.

The only two tone watch that ever caught my fancy. Wait, I lie. I like the vintage Rootbeer GMTs too.
