If you really have to, then blue, at least it looks less like a sub homage and it has a higher chance of surviving in the collection even when you will add higher-end pieces. If you already are at that point of collecting instead, and are consciously looking for a beater, fully aware of its limits but also of its perks, then go with the black and don't look back! ๐
I purchased the black before the blue was available. If they had both been available when I bought, it would have been a flip of a coin, since I really like both of them.ย
The blue dial version is a bit more modern looking, but there is something about the black that really appeals to me. I'm not normally a fan of faux patina, but I think it works with the BB58.ย
A thought: I bought a Seiko SPB239 62mas to scratch my BB 58 black dial and gilt vibe. It works. So, I think the black has many alternatives whereas the blue is somewhat more unique to Tudor. That being said, get what you love and for a true vintage submariner feel, the black dial does it for me.
Black, but it's close.ย

Blue, very clear.
I don't like faultina, so the clean blue one is more my cup of tea :)

Black for me. Just.
On a bracelet, the black gets my vote by a hair. That said, the blue BB on a blue/silver strap is one of my favorite watches.ย
I chose black. But it would just depend on what I currently have in the collection. They both look great.ย
Really hard choice.. I think I would go with black, but itโs a close one.ย
I really like both but (today) I would go with the blue. But, it's a win win ether way. ๐
You got two wrists so zero problems ๐ย
I personally love the black but I know the gilt dial is not for everyone!
Sucker for the blue๐

I prefer blue. It looks clean and sporty.
I like the black - classic and versatile look.
Black, the gold tones give it warmth that I like.
I think safe choice would be black, so i go for blue๐คฃ
