The blue gets much (justified) love around here.

However, as a daily that goes with anything and everything, you may find the black more versatile.

Black dial for me - I've never been a fan of the blue ceramic bezel.

My old one

Since I have other blue watches, and seeing both TT in person. The black TT has been my grail watch for years. Finally got one this year.

Bluesy for me, great wrist presence. Dont own either though.

Best TT for me is of course the CHNR.

Both are absolutely stunning watches! Have you been able to put them on your wrist? Once you do, you will know which one belongs there.

While I love both, I chose the LB.

Honestly we don’t see the black one on the forum too often, and after seeing these photos, that one is quite handsome as well

Neither, but if I had to choose I'd go black dial. I am going to get flamed for saying this, but the bluesy looks cheesy to me. Never been a fan.

Definitely black for me. I don't generally care for two-tone, but with a black dial suddenly I think it's lovely.

You must mean blue? My wife has the blue dial. I much prefer that over the black.

I’ve had both. Wasn’t a fan of blue much may try one again someday. Black dial can literally be a daily watch you wear anywhere and with anything from a suit to gym clothes it always looks good.

There is no bad choice. The bluesy (I owned one) is very flamboyant. Its all about your personal taste.

I've also had both... Black dial is nice as well but I'd much rather
have a SS black dial diver than in TT, unless it's a DJ or DD...
That's why I like the TT Blue dial more, I think it looks better
mixed with the gold ....personally of course.
To each his own...

black tt if it's the diamond dial one since the print/text on the dial is gold vs white on the regular black tt.

with the diamond dial black tt you get subtle bling.

Both are rock solid pieces with the black flying under the radar. Enjoy the journey

I'm trying to decide between a Blusey, a Hulk SS, or a Black TT. I've always had the black TT Sub as my grail, but I already own a black dial GMT-II, so am looking for a colored dial next, hence Hulk and Blusey are in the mix. I think the Black TT is the most elegant, the Blusey the most gorgeous, and I like the green dial on the Hulk and the fact that it's all SS (never really saw myself as a "gold watch" kinda guy).

Am hoping to get one of them from my AD, but may end up going Grey...

Good luck with your choice, let us know what you decide!

-Dan
