So, I have decided the next watch to add to my collection is a TT ceramic Sub. I have always operated under the assumption that I would be getting the black model...until yesterday. I was at my local AD trying things on and the only TT ceramic she had was the blue. I initially wasn't going to try it on, as I really didn't have an interest (and wasn't too keen on the new blue dial and bezel color), but I thought what the hell. Now I don't know what to do: black or blue?

All thoughts and opinions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

I traded in my 2005 blue submariner this past summer for the new ceramic blue face sub, but still miss my old friend!

dalip · 26 February 2011, 02:13 PM

Both are great watches...but very different.

For me it would be the black..simply because I think it's a more versatile and easy to wear watch. But, I have friends with the blue and they wear it all the time..so it really depends on the individual as always with these questions.

I would suggest you try to see them both side by side in the flesh .... or at least try them both on close to one another!

I vote black here...safer...and a timeless watch, colour and design.

Good luck.

DCgator · 26 February 2011, 02:20 PM

Agree with dalip. The black exudes elegance, esp in the TT.

Ray T · 26 February 2011, 02:18 PM

got the blue ceramic tt, have too many black watches, and the blue looks amazingly good

JUSTROLEXES · 26 February 2011, 02:22 PM

Both look great but voted Black

sea-dweller · 26 February 2011, 02:31 PM

Blue for me...

PHDX2 · 26 February 2011, 02:33 PM

Blue?

Black?

Andad · 26 February 2011, 03:21 PM

I have the old Blue TT Sub but prefer the black in the ceramic.

robk215k · 26 February 2011, 03:22 PM

Both!

Eric88 · 26 February 2011, 03:24 PM

I'm personally not a huge TT fan as it seems a bit flashy to me, but if I was getting one, I'd go with black.

nejo · 26 February 2011, 03:44 PM

Blue all day long :)

SS Oyster · 26 February 2011, 03:47 PM

Black ... like the WG light blue color, but not fond of the dark blue.

OLJR · 26 February 2011, 04:05 PM

I voted blue.

The TT blue sub is probably the next Rolex I will buy. I already have a TT GMTII and I think that the blue will complement this nicely as it will be very suitable for informal occasions whereas the GMT's black face is perhaps better for less informal occasions.

tdnt · 26 February 2011, 05:02 PM

For me, the pre-ceramic TT Sub blue is one the most beautiful Rolex watches, so I'd go with the ceramic blue.

Singslinger · 26 February 2011, 05:12 PM

I'm not a fan of the new blue; to me the previous shade is more attractive. So my vote is black.

tomallen · 26 February 2011, 06:56 PM

I would go for the blue. As a matter of fact I am visiting my AD today for a possible trade on my year old TT Sub black no lug holes SEL for a new TT Sub C blue.

travisb · 26 February 2011, 08:51 PM

I think it's great and actually prefer it over the classic TT Blue Sub.

VictorPanerai · 26 February 2011, 08:56 PM

I prefer black, but taste is a very personal thing. I personally think that the blue used in the new ceramic sub WG and TT are a bit cheap. But you have to like it

anipit · 26 February 2011, 09:00 PM

Blue

RoliSubMan · 26 February 2011, 09:18 PM

Black is more conservative and more versatile. However, SS subs come in black, if i choose black TT then there aren't much to differentiate between the TT and SS except gold center links, bezel and crown. Therefore for a TT sub, my choice is blue. Besides, TT sub is a flashy piece, might as well go all out with blue. Also, the blue dial looks extra beautiful against gold. It's good with suits too. Black TT is a bit boring for me just my HO.

Art 1 · 26 February 2011, 09:29 PM

Blue.

Rolesor · 27 February 2011, 01:06 AM

I love them both but I voted black!

yemenmocha · 27 February 2011, 02:13 AM

New ceramic blue doesn't look right to me.

If you must do ceramic, do black.

GEO_79 · 27 February 2011, 02:55 AM

blue for me!!

Dan2010 · 27 February 2011, 03:06 AM

Black

kareemthedream33 · 27 February 2011, 03:11 AM

If I could afford the blue I would go with that.

Cru Jones · 27 February 2011, 03:15 AM

If it's on the radar, TT GMTIIc....I like how the green hand and text play off the gold, and I prefer the GMT bezel in gold over the standard one, too.

If it has to be a Sub, go black.....unless you can swing the WG blue one.....
