I am heavily debating on buying another Submariner. The TT Blue just screams elagance, but the TT Black is very appealing and to me appears BOLD. Also, black & gold are traditionally the colors of success. I feel I should make the move in the next few months. I love both these models, but can only buy one. One more thing, I am leaning towards the TT Blue, but feel I may regret it, if it draws to much unwanted attention, whereas, I feel the gold may be a little less obvious, but not by much. If you were this torn between the two, which one would you go with?

GerardoG · 7 February 2007, 01:33 AM

BLACK. The one and only!

greenfan · 7 February 2007, 01:35 AM

Sorry, but I thought you were between a Green bezel Submariner and a TT Blue Submariner...

I'm not much of a TT fan...but I'd go black over blue anyday.

Although I still would like to have the green as a collector's watch.

greenfan · 7 February 2007, 02:28 AM

Then, I´d vote for the black submariner....

Launch Mini · 7 February 2007, 02:51 AM

For me, it is black.
Black & Gold are classics.
The blue is nice, but it is "IN YOUR FACE" all the time.
I like stealthier watches.

quinson418 · 7 February 2007, 03:02 AM

Man, I am surprised with the results I am seeing.
I am not into TT, but if I had to choose, I will get black.
I actually thought blue would be the popular choice, I guess not.

7 February 2007, 03:23 AM

Black all the way... the blue is too bling and whenever I see one I immediately think 'fake' as it's one of the most faked watches made.

tonelar · 7 February 2007, 03:28 AM

If you're into the Black one, my advice is GO FOR IT... I initially couldn't vote knowing you were torn, for me it was a matter of love at first sight when it came to the Blue one.

My advice is to walk into an AD and try both these watches on for kicks... see which one makes you smile bigger...

As far as these polls go, I think it's an interesting concept buying a watch based on other's opinions. I'm definitely going to do this when it comes time for my next purchase.

7 February 2007, 03:37 AM

Black would definitely be my preference if I was to consider a TT Sub.

sinbad · 7 February 2007, 03:42 AM

I love both watches and each has its own place. If it was to be an everyday watch, I would prefer the black. The blue is very beautiful and my 13 year old loves it. However, the blue does draw attention.

Solo118 · 7 February 2007, 04:03 AM

blue is my personal taste, everyone is different

Alcan · 7 February 2007, 04:03 AM

I faced the same decision 1 1/2 years ago, and chose the TT Black. The poll results so far are surprising, I thought there were more TT Blue fans here.

oldman2005 · 7 February 2007, 04:09 AM

Personal choice, I would go with the black TT. I once tried out the blue TT and it brought me back to the 80's

. One step further: I would choose the Anv. GMT TT over black Sub TT

colemanitis · 7 February 2007, 04:12 AM

My choice is the Black TT as well!

Uncle-AJ · 7 February 2007, 04:19 AM

It can only be black.

I've never thought of this before, but screaming and elegance might be mutually exclusive. Have you made your mind up yet?

I say go TT BLACK. Save the BLUE one for those who appreciate it!

Al - don't judge the preference of the forum based on the number off TT Blue Sub pictures you see. That statistic using pictures is a little, uh, skewed by one person here.....

Spencer · 7 February 2007, 04:52 AM

Blue all the way. Until you see the blue in person it's hard to appreciate its deepness and color on pics over the internet.

Chuck wears a BLUE TT Sub...
He says they round house those black ones...

A. Jacobs · 7 February 2007, 10:40 AM

TT BLUE Sub without a doubt. Although after the purchase of the Blue, I'd love to add the TT black to my collection.

Me too, especially if i could put a tiger face on it...

There are instances where these colors go together...

kings4sap · 7 February 2007, 11:51 AM

Ditto the responder who opted for the black anniv TT GMT over the sub choice. That is an awesome watch!
