Both are great, but I'm partial to blue....it differentiates itself from the SS model.

Good luck with your choice!

If TT than Black is my choice; because I think that black looks great in TT and blue looks so much better in WG. I went with black in TT and dream about the blue in WG.

How come Jib? Did yours scratch alot?...I'm thinking about a black TT C Sub myself...mainly because the lettering on the dial is white and therefor easier for me to see.

Had a blue one on my wrist at an AD...gorgeous watch....felt like a pound of silk.
