The correct answer is that’s it’s a tie.

Great pair

Just based on your ink? It seems silly to only. Consider one of the many factors involved in making a decision.

Including how you're dressed, specifically other accessories and where you're going and who you're seeing (or who's seeing you) and the amount of activity involved (or lack there of).

I mean ultimately this just seems like a thinly veiled "doesn't the red and blue insert look good with my tattoos" thread. And in my opinion... Yes it does.

The BLRO is a stunning watch. I’m wearing mine right now but I like the sub on your wrist with the ink. I kind of like how the sub plays with the outlines on your ink while the BLRO kinda overpowers it. I’d say sub for work and BLRO for play.

Definitely the sub!! No need to have color to look good. Black is beautiful!

I love both watches (at the tats!), but I actually like how the sub brings the bright tat colors down to earth a bit.

These watches are both watches I own: not trying to make a decision just curious on people’s tastes

Might be the less popular opinion but I think the Sub looks a lot better for you.

The tattoos + the Pepsi are a bit too colorful together

I actually think in those two photos that the sub pops. The Pepsi actually just blends in with the art/ink, but the contrast with the black just pops and makes both look better, IMO.

Both handsome, gotta go w/the sub here tho —- that glossy black dial and bezel make for an excellent contrast against the vivid colors of the tattoo —- enjoy ‘em sir, great pieces

Sub with the ink. It complements, rather than competes.

I’d say they both get equal wrist time and I like them both equally for their own reasons! The Pepsi has much more sentiment to me

Would love to hear your thoughts!

Sorry about the glove in the second pic it’s the only one with similar lighting as the first!

Hope you’re all staying safe and healthy





P.s

Please keep your negative comments about my tattoos to yourself. Times r tough and I’m fragile haha!

Cheers

BLRO looks better to me.

I think the red in the Pepsi bezel nicely picks up the reds in your tattoos, and b/c the other half of the bezel is colored (blue), it nicely sets off the black dial, making it stand-out more.

I think the black Sub picks up the green more and the black outlining of the tattoos more and also causes the black dial to appear less defined against the black bezel.

I also think the Jubilee looks great against the background and the Oyster looks more subdued.

Think this is my first post since the confinement, so I hope everyone is well.

The colourful one because I already own several black divers. YMMV.
