Decided to change my Transocean Chronograph's strap from Gold Croc to Blue Croc, then saw this Limited Edition version with blue dial and only 2000 made. So what you guys think? despite the limited edition and blah blah blah, which one will you put on your wrist??

The white. More classic tones, and more versatile than blue dial.

The white definitely would match more of your outfits, but that blue is very sharp. This is a tough one. If it were me I would go with the blue ally watches have black or white dials so it would be nice to switch it up.

That silver dial Transocean is actually mine. I guess changed it to the blue strap is actually not a bad idea then?! :D

I like the TOC to have contrasting subdials - which is why I really liked the first LE (black dial / silver-white subdials). So in this case your white dial version is much nicer IMO. I'm not totally sold on the blue strap with it as the subdials are black, but it's certainly a different look.

According to Breitlingsource the LE Transocean is supposed to have a "gold "B" and contrasting subdials, with a exhibition back..."
not sure if it's the picture quality- but the blue dial looks to have blue subdials??

I'm with Driver8 , maybe a tan croc or a mesh on your white faced TO..... :D
