As you know , I recently bought a B1 Blackface, I have now sourced a UTC on Fighter bracelet but it has a blue face

here is the dilemma, should I get the B1 changed to a blue dial to match, get the utc changed to a black dial to match or leave it mismatching :roll:

I've been in touch with BUK and they can do either (plus service both at the same time)

what do you think, also have a vote :lol:

Switch the UTC to black, Doc. I think the black dial suits the B1 better, and also changing the UTC dial will be less hassle.

the only reason I considered switching to blue is that my SA is black but I guss the real addict way to do this is as you say, switch the utc to black and get a blue B2 as well :lol: :lol: :lol:

hey Doc, looking at the poll results (so far) it goes without saying that you should go all black :)

In the absence of the buy a black UTC and buy a blue B2 option (the correct choice), I went with switching to black as well.
