The SS Sub VS TT Sub
Which one do you prefer ?
Although i understand that SS Sub are quite classic and Iconic of Rolex Sport, i still prefer the Two Tone one, Especially the Blue Dial... I Found it is very beautiful and ounstanding watch..., it is very attractive and noticeable when you walk in the sunlight, although sometimes it make me quite uncomfortable when people pay too much attention to my wrist... Can you give me your oppinion ? |

I prefer the TT, but in black. The blue is beautiful, but . . .

I prefer the SS myself as I think it's more classic and understated.
Nothing wrong with TT though. If you like it better, get it. It's your watch, not mine. (You can buy me one if you want though!  ) In all likelihood most people probably wouldn't notice anyway.Good luck with your decision. |

I've had the 116610LN and now have a 116613 LB....
I used to swim and dive in my 116610LN without giving it a second thought...on the other hand I just can't get myself to wear the 116613LB from fear of scratching/scuffing it  ...If you can get your head around this then I suggets the TT cos it is a really beautiful watch. The blue and gold just 'pop'  ...

Blue TT without a doubt. I would go with a 16660 or the Deep-Sea before I got a Black sub.

TT blue dial is an awesome casual weekend / after work watch that is also dressy. The blue dial attracts a lot of attention, and then when people look more closely, they then notice the word Rolex on it, so if you're a shy guy that doesn't want the attention, then stick to the SS sub with black dial. Esp if it's your first and only Rolex. If you've multiple watches, then TT blue dial!

Of course the blue is a beautiful piece but I still prefer the SS green or black.

The SS is very very nice, but I prefer the TT ones. For me, the 16613LB didn't match the baubles I tend to wear on my wrists, but the 16613LN did, so I opted for the LN...I think the LB is very beautiful and noticeable though.

Clearly the SS is an absolute classic. However, the TT subs (both black and blue) are really stylish and I love the extra glamour that comes with that added gold......
 If you wear bit of gold in other jewellery such as a bracelet like Namor above, they look particularly cool IMO.....

As you said , You prefer the TWO Tone, then that is the only one you should buy. Remember who we are talking about here, That is YOU, YOU, YOU. Good Luck, The Two tone is a beauty.

I prefer TT myself but would rather go with black than blue (just as a matter of taste). All of them look very nice though.

TT Blue sub 16613 bone of the most beautiful watch out there. I'm not a fan of the newer lighter blue.

Love the TT in pics and on others but when I try it on it just looks alittle odd.
But if you prefer the TT then you've answered your question

As others have said, both are outstanding--can't go wrong either way. I like the TT blue a bit more.
