i voted black. to be honest i was a little surprised that blue is in the lead. i just figured black would be easier to match with most clothing.

I think the new Blue sub is a bit on the feminine side. The older blue is better looking to me and I hope they bring it back. I voted Black.

I voted blue. In different types of lighting the blue color takes on many shades from a royal blue to almost black. Also, black is everywhere. Love mine.

I was in the same dillema. I always wanted the black but the my AD only had a blue in stock. I tried it on and thought about however you need to listen to your inner self. You said you always wanted the black one so that is what you should buy. I went to another AD and got mine in black and have never looked back. Besides to many people are upset with the new blue compared to the old so why even get mixed up with that. My black sub is KING and it makes me feel like I won the lottery every time I slip it on. Enough Said.

I solved it by buying the Sub C in black, and the TT C in blue. I liked the dial of the previous TT better, but the new TT C, with the maxi face and the new bracelet is a winner.

As seems to be a theme here, I would go GMT-c for black dial TT. Blue for me.

I voted for the black. I'm surprised at the large blue turn out.

Go for black! I went to an AD a little bit ago. I saw a Blue TT and a Black TT Submariner, the Black I tried on! It's a beauty!

Black TT Rolex = I would purchase the GMTIIC (the green really sets it off)
Sub C = Black face all stainless or Blue face (I voted blue)

Just my 2 cents

Wow, what a stunner! And, most especially in two tone stainless steel and gold. Moreover, I really love the new improvements to the design. The blue face dial and blue bezel really are an attractive duo. I also like how Rolex inserted a bezeled 12 o'clock circular superluminova indicator within the gold triangular 12 o'clock marker setting. In fact, I wish that Rolex would do the same for the new GMT II. Beautiful watch, my brothers. Enjoy!

If I had to choose, I'd go blue. I have the older tt blue. That being said, I'd like a black tt as well.

Just bought the Sub-C Blue with Diamond dial and it is amazing looking. It very much is a personal taste. Used to have the previous model blue and actually like the Ceramic version much better. The blue is crisp, clean and has a solid rich look to it. When I first saw it, I wasn't sure what to think and now, I am absolutely in love with it.
