DSSD or TT Blue Dial Subc??

[Rolex74]

So I was at my AD tonight, they had a Scotches and Watches event, they brought in a few other brands, but they didn't catch my eye, but I did try on some Rolexes, so I have been lurking around looking at photos of what I may want next, I love the YG DDII, but that is not in the budget at all right now, I like the TT DJII, prefer the grey dial with Green Romans, they had one before but they sold it, and lately I have had the urge to get a TT Sub with a Blue Dial.

So I tried on the TT Subc and it felt great, loved it, the blue spoke to me, apparently this blue was not a favorite and did not sell as well, so Rolex has gone to the new shade of blue, which they had in a DJII and I actually like the old blue better. The AD said it was a random serial number and he said being it was a shorter run, like 5 years, his opinion it could end up being more sought after at some point.

To make this deal I would need to trade my DSSD and $4k cash, I do like my DSSD a lot, so for me to trade it I would have to love what I am getting.

I still have my white dial DJII and my black dial PAM 005, so blue would be a nice color addition.

Any opinions?

In case you are wondering, here are the other 2 I tried on, 36mm YG DD and the two tone DJII

I think you already have your answer there? Since you love it just get it?? Personally I dont think it's worth DSSD PLUS another 4K??? maybe get another pre-owned?? or trade for 1 on 1 in a forum (with luck)??

I could probably work him down a little more on the cash, the retail on the sub is $13650, or close to that.

For reference, here is how the DSSD looks on me, the one minor drawback is the fitment on cuffed shirts, but I have the DJII for that,

But you also love your DSSD right?? personally even I dont own it myself, I think it's a pity to let the DSSD go.....maybe I am a bias (since I am no fan of PAM, DJ...) have you consider other trade option instead??

The TT blue dial looks great!

[vitalsignsrn]

Rob, I can't comment on the money/value of the deal part…but I do love the blue dial and with your collection, you would have basically all the main colours. Now when I say that I mostly refer to the 3 I want in my collection, A white dial, a black dial and a blue dial. So up till now I have a white and black. Since both were purchased within 4 mths of each other, I won't be hunting down my blue one so soon. LOL

Its a gorgeous watch…I would say if the others say is a fair deal, go for it. :-)

I agree, that blue dial looks great on your wrist but 4K seems high.

Judy, these are my fav three colours as well and will probably be the only dials in my collection. I too am on the lookout for a blue Rolex and with the YM, sub and the DJ/DJ2 we have some great choices.

Not sure how good of a deal that is. I do like the TT blue A LOT more than the DSSD.

If you wanted a compromise, you could just change the dial on your DJ2 to a blue one.

The blue is really nice! As for changing my DJII, I love the white, it speaks to me a ton, so I would never change the dial.

[Wesley Crusher]

Not a big TT fan. I'd go with the DSSD if you don't mind the case thickness. It was a bit much for me.

[watchwatcher]

Agree with the others...I like it but not at 4k and your DS.

[Rolex74]

Thanks for the opinions! I am a thinker, so I will really think it through before doing anything.

As for trading the DJII or the PAM 005, I would keep them, I love the DJII and the PAM is an H series, and they only made 1200 that year, nowadays they make 1500, so it seems to be a tough model to get.

I have both and as much as I like the TT Subc, I wouldn't do the trade. Giving up the Deepsea and $4k is too much. I would find other ways to add the blue Sub.

Definitely. A used Deep Sea should fetch at least 9k. If that TT Sub is $7,500 how can he want another 4k and the Deep Sea? That's crazy.

Sell the DS here and go buy the TT sub without any cash layout.

The TT sub I was looking at trading for the DSSD was a brand new one, $13650

The $7500 one was a preowned that a broker he deals with had in stock. That would be a purchase and no trade.

Not a big fan of TT, but the DD looks good on you. My DSSD says hello!

[tkc324]

I wouldn't do the trade either... if anything trade your deepsea straight up for a used Sub TT. Or add another 1-2k along with the 4k that the dealer is asking for... to buy an older Sub TT.... and you would have another great watch.

[Nidal]

For 2k manner yes. For 4k. That's too much. Try TRF see what you can get

I do think your dealer will go there. All you can do is ask, right? 15% isn't a crazy discount for a TT. It's a relatively slow mover and (although I prefer it) it's the old blue.
DSSD's seem to walk out the door. Would be a good deal for your AD too.

[travisb]

4k is a deal breaker.
I'd first decide which watch you like better regardless of price. DSSD vs TT Sub.

[mruhland31]

I love the Deepsea but it was just too thick for me. I would go with the 116613. Looks great on you.

[MisterStefan]

TT Blue looks amazing. I'd go for that one.

[bigrustypig]

I love both watches and would stay with the DSSD.

[kilyung]

I think the color of your shirt says volumes about your choice.

Ahhh you saw that too, it def made it pop on the wrist more, hmm prob should have work an off color.

I need to find a way to keep the DSSD and add the TT Subc to the collection....
