LB or LN? Full YG Sub content

What’s your verdict?

LB? LN? Can’t decide?

Tough one. I have the TT bluesy. I like the look better of the blue with yellow gold. But if I was going to spend 36k on a watch, would want it to be a watch I can wear everywhere. I think the blue dial can work, but the black dial is more versatile. So full yellow gold black, TT blue.

Blue is stunning in person. Provides excellent contrast on wrist.

Black is on everything, the blue is what makes it unique! I love my WG Sub for that exact reason.

I like the blue for the contrast. That would be the one for me

Most SS models have black dials. I'd take the blue for variety.

I think the blue looks better on two tone and black on full gold. So LN gets my vote here.

They both look great. The LN is just the easier everyday wear between the two, which is what I would go for even though the LB is a stunning watch.

Interestingly, I just tried on the Blue. Amazing to wear in person. Unfortunately the SA didn't care much for my presence nor any attempt to chat with me so I walked away. Its not on my radar at this time but I would love to trade some of my SS piece for it. It would check a lot of boxes for me, other than variety.

Exactly. Plenty of black Sub-style dials across the Rolex lineup. Blue is a nice change.

LB as far as I'm concerned. That royal blue sunburst dial is noting short of astonishing and the gold/blue combination works really well. I just got the TT Bluesy 126613 and its my new favourite.

Black is nice, dont get me wrong, it's considerably more formal, thus less fun or playful to me personally. Both are magnificent pieces, obviously. I thought long and hard about trading in most of my pieces for the YG Bluesy but eventually decided otherwise. The YG black dial never crossed my mind.

For full YG, go sunburst blue dial. For TT, go black dial.

I vote Blue, although I may get the new black also I’m the updated sub.

Both are great. Ideally need one of each

I haven't seen either in person. On my computer I would chose the LN but I suspect that if I were to see the blue in person, it's the one I would chose.

Change my vote, blue. Either full or TT. Something about the bezel specifically, I don’t like the gold numbers against the black, especially compared to the blue.

Tried the TT on yesterday. I am deciding between this and the stainless ln. I think I was sold yesterday when I took this pic....

That is an incredible photo, wow. Stunning. After seeing a few models in this thread, the white print on the new one actually looks better to me.

I did this exact poll a few years ago and was thinking of the black dial but the poll was in favour of the blue so I went to have a good look at it and then I was sold.

The blue is beautiful but the black seems more appropriate, I don’t know why

I agree that the white print looks better. Makes the dial “pop” that much more.

As a new blue owner, of less than 24 hours, my vote is for the blue.
There are so many black dials these days ....
The blue really is stunning.
