114300 OP Blue vs Grape, Which do you prefer?

Just to share 2 of my newest additions to my collection, initially thought that I will much prefer the blue dial, but I am leaning towards the grape dial now after seeing them in person, which do you prefer?

Both beautiful - IMO - blue is more versatile - but I'd happily wear either.

I love the blue. Class for days. Also easier to match I think.

I prefer the grape. Saw somebody wearing one on the street the other day and thought it looked fantastic.

I'm not much for purple as a color. Blue would work best for me.

I had the blue and loved it, but needed a date.

Just a guess, but I think Rolex will release an olive dial in OP39 range. Maybe this year...

Grape is cool but would be limited. Blue goes with anything.

I must recognize that grape is a very special colour not seen very often.

However, I prefer the blue one.
