I love both of these timepieces, but lean toward the Black TT over the Blue in my tastes.

The Black just seems to be more elegant and less flashy, but that's just me.

Which do you prefer?

Latrodectus · 15 February 2009, 01:44 AM

They are both very good looking...if I had to pick one, I think I would go for the blue one, since I have an all black GMTII!

Chris B · 15 February 2009, 02:01 AM

Oops I voted for black by mistake, what a jerk

The black is classy but the blue TT sub was my first grail watch & my first experience of the whole waiting list / grey dealer premium malarkey

I eventually got the call after 18 months on the list with my AD, its still my favourite

shaggy · 15 February 2009, 02:11 AM

black for me

DoxaDavid · 15 February 2009, 02:13 AM

I can't vote because it is a tie for me.

My first Rolex was a black TT Sub which I loved for 15 years. I have said and will repeat, if I only could have one watch for the rest of my life I would choose this watch.

However, I have several black dialed watches now and the only one blue faced watch in the collection..Bluesy, which gets lots of wrist time.

Love them both!

A1000 · 15 February 2009, 02:14 AM

They're both fine watches. The blue has the edge for me due to the reflections you get on the dial in certain light. So it wins by a short head.

DSJ · 15 February 2009, 02:18 AM

The black is excellent and probably better as an only watch to own, but there is NOTHING in this world that has "the look" of Bluesy!

I couldn't have said it better

ErnestoPap · 15 February 2009, 04:20 AM

They are both cool but i think that Blue TT looks even more beautiful cause i like the combination of yellow gold and blue!

JJ Irani · 15 February 2009, 04:22 AM

Yeah....right!!!! What do YOU think??!!

arielc · 16 February 2009, 11:54 PM

Both are unique, i prefer the blue.

chenx15 · 15 February 2009, 02:32 AM

Bluesy hands down. before i get a black tt sub i will get a black tt GMT.

Nah, real men wear Aprons.

That said, blue. Black and gold is striking, but blue and gold is just a pleasure to look at.

Subexplorer · 15 February 2009, 02:59 AM

Bluesy all the way! I feel that the blue dial of TT Sub has the most beautiful shade of blue ever! Great watch!! Regards, Abel

gtbike72 · 15 February 2009, 03:01 AM

I love my blue sub

SLS · 15 February 2009, 03:03 AM

Uh oh Richard....Looking for a third now!

I prefer the Blue

~Scott

Kokyuryoku · 15 February 2009, 03:09 AM

Bluesy baby!!!

All the way. That's my next watch unless I get a date just or a day date or a daytona or a GMT or a sub no date or a SD or a DSSD...

Ahhhh damn you rolex too many to choose from.

Anyway I like blue.

LDLemu4U · 15 February 2009, 03:15 AM

Voted Bluesy! But Blackie is beautiful to me, too.................but will soon have Blackie GMT....so!!!!!!

Lion · 15 February 2009, 03:26 AM

I would definitely go with the bluesy. Imo it has character and a LOOK that no other watch can come close to. And if you want a second opinion just ask JJ!!!

sea-dweller · 15 February 2009, 03:31 AM

They are both beautiful, but I prefer the blue.

walds11 · 15 February 2009, 04:10 AM

TT Black all the way. The blue dial is too flashy.

scottschoe · 15 February 2009, 04:23 AM

Black/gold all the way. The blue dial/bezel combo is harder to pull off than a YG DD.

watchboy · 15 February 2009, 04:31 AM

Well for black dials, almost every Rolex models have black dials. But THIS particular blue dial is only found in the TT Sub or the YG Sub. It is just not a normal blue but a unique blue(I also do not know how to describe it

), just enchanting!

I would said, there isn't another watch with blue dials that looks nicer than the TT Sub!

JMO.

if alex collector doesn't give in to my GMT offer then my next rolex is definitely the 16613 bluesy

gone-rolex-mad · 15 February 2009, 04:29 AM

The black sub wins it for me. I dare not say it, but I think the bluesy looks a little cheap! No offence to blue owners.

chenx15 · 15 February 2009, 04:32 AM

except if they release the GMTIIC blue bezel just like one of the richards photoshops post!
