TT Blue Sub; New or Old

[eric23]

Good Day All,

I want to get another Blue TT Sub at some point, I just don't know if I should go old or new.

Anyone have any thought on this choice? There are many pros/cons to both.

Here is some photos of the new, I just tried on today;





and the old one I use to have





Thanks,

Eric

Love everything about the new one, bracelet, case, clasp ect. Just don't care for the color, which is kind of a big deal for me. I went with old and love it. Just wish the bracelet was solid.

older 16613 had much better/richer color for dial and insert IMHO

+1 also I prefer the older case as well ;)

[Roller07]

I'm torn between the two

The first reply nailed it for me. Even forgetting about the fat lug/skinny bracelet on the new watch, I just don't find the ceramic blue as nice as the old blue. The older watches had such a nice deep blue color - the ceramic looks flat in comparison.

Better bracelet and less nice color, or hollow bracelet and vivid blue? It's really too bad you have to choose.

I thought the same about the color until I really gave it a chance... Then the blue with the bigger indexes and white date wheel really sang to me.

Bottom line, both are cool- get what suits YOU!

I agree with you 100%. The new style blue growing on me, and the new bracelet is clearly superior.

I am struggling with the same thing. Only con of the new one to me is the shade of blue but it is growing on me. Everything else to me is superior on the new one.

I really like the color of the old one but the bracelet is way better on the new one.

The new blue is darker in real life. It is very beautiful (and flashy).

I never took it outside, just seen it in the AD.

Buy the new one Eric

[Roma315]

Actually love this TT sub with blue dial

[4therightcause]

Is it me or do the random serial blue subs look like they are just a shade darker than the first ones to come out?

[TSW]

Old one for me.

[SaddleSC]

I couldn't decide either:)

Nice! That is not an option for me

[Brenngun]

Older, deeper blue color, classic case shape.

I recently contemplated this (for the Sub date though) and went "old" no band. This not only allowed me to secure one cheaper, but I can explore different looks with a NATO and I now have a permanent "beater" that I can wear at work.

Bluesy 16613 and black 116613 would be my choices.

[Lagunatic]

get the new one

[joe100]

Definatly the 16613

[SLS]

The 16613 all the way. The ceramic version is fugly IMO.

I like the new one more in every way, including color. But both are great watches.

[Art 1]

Old.

[roadie1]

I've had both. The new one is much more solid, substantial piece.

[kymwatchlog]

I wanted somthing brand new so went for the 116613LB (and it was a great deal) as the 16613 is only avail preowned.

But i totally agree that the blue on the old is richer but the blue on the new is flat althou more modern.

[Stoner319]

Old 16613 for the win.
