    Black or Blue Seamaster Pro?

    Having a tough time deciding. I wear a lot of navy blue/khaki at work and the occasional dark grey suit. Thanks for your insight!

    What color are either of your Breitlings? Is your Speedmaster black? If at least one of them are black, then I'd say go blue on the SMP. Plus, I have heard it said that wearing a quality, blue watch is an indication that you own other quality pieces (this was relayed to me by a sales lady at a Tourbillon Boutique, so take that for what it's worth...)

    I like them both, btw. The 2 colors of lume on the new SMP's is particularly fetching.

    Both Breitlings have navy blue faces on them (one is titanium and the other is stainless). The Speedmaster is black. Good point on the Breitlings.

    I'm a black and red guy, but I love the way the red plays of the black dial. That's why I bought that one.

    It seems like the vast majority of watches are black so normally I'd say blue for sure, but because you already have two blue dials I'd say black or flip a coin.

    I have black but I think I'll say go with the blue since you have a Speedy with a black face. I am always blown away by the blue Seamaster.

    I have a blue SMP. I want a black one.

    Hope that helps.

    Did she say it with a gently heaving bosom and fluttering eyelashes?

    I don't like the blue SMP because the blues on the dial face and bezel don't match. The difference is very small, but enough for me to notice, and that irks me for some reason.
