It is an exhibition watch - not functioning.

This was posted again a few days ago.

Notice that in ALL the PICS the time is the same (10:11:31) - and even the seconds hand shows +31" in different pictures.

That's a very good observation

I wonder if it feels like the real deal though

Must be like the real deal, of course.

How are exams, by the way?

The blue shade doesn't look that bad and i believe that they chose this shade so that people can differentiate it from the TT blue sub in case it gets updated with a ceramic bezel

That new blue sub kind of reminds me of those ugly, plastic looking Tag Heauers.

I find the new blue Sub. with the blue bezel fantastic. I hope the colors are represented correctly. You never know until you see it in person. If all goes well I will receive the first one my AD gets ( white gold ).
I think those who are turning their noses up based on an internet printed picture are are making a big mistake. This watch will be a real winner.

I'm ok with that blue, but it would be nice if the dial is black~

That blue is just wrong. It really doesn't do the watch justice
