well, I have the black and I like that dial more than D-Blue and had the option to buy either. Though, it's for sale so ultimately I don't think the DSSD is perfect for me.

Both are great options. If I had others in my collection I'd be more drawn to the D Blue but for a one and only Black for sure. It's really clean.

if you can wear a DSSD, no question it's the Dblue

D-Blue since its worth more in the ,Black since it looks better .
I have the 116660 and its the most worn in my collection.The workhorse .Solid piece of tough steel.  If I can find one I will gladly ad a 126660 in Black to my collection. Personally, not fond of the black to blue dial and green lettering . |

I have owned both and vote for the Blue. Indoors and most of the time the dial appears black. Its only if you look at it on purpose that the beautiful dials shows its true colors. The blue is not radiant or off putting. Even the crazy green text is not blatant or obvious.
The black is a true classic but the blue is amazing.

Both are great but the D-Blue dial is something special.

It's hard to go past the basic black dial for a good allrounder. |
