Blue is nice but you can't go wrong with the black

Both are very nice imo. And really like the diver on the bracelet. Did they do that for you at the AD?

i like both black and blue. The blue is a good choice if you have a lot of other watches as the color scheme isn't as versatile. But i also really like the green one too even if i would only wear it on rare occasions. Now that i think about it, I like the whole line of bright colored divers

Congratulations! I like the blue a lot. While I honestly prefer it on the rubber strap, you can't go wrong with an AP bracelet

Didn't get used to the blue and yellow yet, usually not a fan of yellow, so would say black but might warm up to it

Gotta stick with the black for me. The Diver is the next AP on my list, but black 100%. I like it on rubber too.

Blue and yellow works for you better than "boring" black so enjoy it!

on bracelet! Both are incredible. On a rubber strap, I favor black.

It's so close - the blue is the new version and a great piece whereas the black really has the tapisserie and the logo with both popping out and very classy.

So it depends on your collection - if you don't have a blue watch already, go with the blue. If you already have blue, go with the black which is a timeless classic

Black and White more versatile. But blue/yellow is very sporty and looks nice with your bracelet! Used to own the white diver, still miss it once in a while.

Sorry, just noticed I highjacked the thread.

To answer your question... you've made the right choice! That blue dial with the contrasting yellow, astonishing... love that minute hand

That's a reason why I chose the white/silver one over the black diver.
