I'm looking at two-tone Chronomats and I can't decide whether I like the blue or black dial better. In all the pictures, the blue looks pretty bright, but on the one I've seen in person (an older model) it was a very dark blue, almost black, which I liked. I can't really tell from pictures on the internet how dark it is, and whether it's cheesy. What do you guys think? I think I also like it best with the SS bracelet, the TT one seems too blingy.

I forgot to mention, I prefer the Arabic dial, which seems to be different.

IMO I think the black dial would be the best bet.

I second the black - it contrasts better with the gold

I think black will go with just about anything, but the blue is very nice too.

I would lean towards the black dial.

Another vote for a black dial - again for the contrast with the TT.

Yep, definitely black with TT..... (although I do remember seeing a showcase TT Crosswind in the Chronolog from a few years ago that had the blue dial and it looked superb. Decisions decisions!) No, go with the black.

Definately Black, blue seems to suit titanium better but I would say that with my watches :roll:

One more vote for black. I too dig the contrast with the gold.

Thanks for all your input everyone.

I think if nothing else, blue seems to be the current fad in colors (started by the invention of the blue LED, which is seen as high-tech). So, I'll probably go for the black (once I save enough money to buy the thing... xD)
