Tuxedo blue or enamel black dial for daily automatic?

I have a sunburst white dial watch (Seiko SNE031), sunburst blue dial watch (Seiko SNE585), and while I love my quartz watches, I miss having an automatic on my wrist.

I’m choosing between the limited edition blue tuxedo dial Lorier Astra (when will it release? Only the stars know) and a 36mm Tisell Explorer homage. The Astra is definitely more striking with a more unique and retro design. It’s offered in white, but my SNE031 looks too similar to it.

However, the Tisell has the rare combo of 36mm, ENAMEL black dial (I’ve been searching for one for so long), glidelock clasp and is sort of readily available.

As a sort of daily option, considering my collection is so small; would a blue tuxedo dial work or deep enamel black be more versatile?
