Hi everyone, new member here in need of some advice . I currently have a 16610 and a 16613 bluesy but am really hankering for a SD. I think i will flip the 16613 to fund the puchase but just cannot seem to make the final decision as in the past have sold an AP ROO rubberclad and an IWC Big Pilot and then regretted it.Any advice would be most welcome. Thanks

I would keep the 16610 and the 16613 bluesy and add an SD to your present collection and here I would have a awesome collection!

philgb · 18 February 2010, 07:13 PM

in the past that is what i would have done but wife and funds dictate a flip is the order of the day if i go ahead but thanks for advice

Maybe sell the 16610 instead? That way you'd have one TT and one S/S watch for a bit of variety.

No point selling the Bluesy and ending up with two S/S watches that look very similar...

think you could be right - don't want to make the same mistakes again although have been falling out of love with bluesy recently

I've noticed the TT blue sub is more of an acquired taste - the taste goes bad when you want to acquire another model

I would go for trading the 16610 for the 16600 since they are very similar, but if you will take the bluesy (sorry Padi, it's just shorter

) out of the rotation anyway, I guess it's time to trade it off.

Hope this helps.

Keep what you have--when you can add--add without selling one!! PS--As an AP ROO Rubberclad owner--go get that watch back--one of my favorite watches of all time!

I think my visa card is about to take a bit of a hammering as bluesy is going into storage for a while

padi56 · 18 February 2010, 09:22 PM

What is a bluesy ??? no such Rolex watch, its a blue dial TT sub, if you want a SD just go for it.

RRGHOST1 · 18 February 2010, 09:55 PM

If you want the SD,as advised by Singslinger, sell the 16610 date/sub as they are very alike anyway in looks and keep the TT Sub fo a different look. I would say the same if it was the DSSD.

philgb · 18 February 2010, 09:57 PM

Sorry - yes it's a blue dial TT sub

sea-dweller · 19 February 2010, 03:13 AM

I would not flip it. Buy the 3rd watch...

SeamasterGMT · 19 February 2010, 03:17 AM

I would flip the bluesy for a SD any day.

Don't mean to rub it in but no way I would have flipped an AP ROO or IWC Big Pilot.

philgb · 19 February 2010, 03:17 AM

Guys, thanks for your advice think i will just buy the SD and sit on tne TT for a while - as i said too many mistakes in the past by rushing in (as fools do!)
