Yes guys, I tried it on today at my local AD
The watch is by far the best rolex i have ever touched
The ceramic bezel and dial are a deep and dark blue color like the old bluesy if not better
The light blue ugly dial (that we all saw at this years basel pics) will only come with the WG model as I was told

You have to see it to believe how beautiful this sub is
Had the chance to compare it with a gold black GMT II and the sub was the real winner
A few bad cel phone shots

Thanks for posting

No Polished links please
or at least an option.

Here here, well said. A "Sport" watch should be durable in appearance as well as function. I prefer SS as the basic material, gold accents are a nice touch for me. But IMHO a gold case transforms the sport watch into more of a dress watch with a sport design and capabilities. Polished center links therefore somehow look out of place, unless on a TT.

The only way they'll match the cobalt blue is to USE IT and have the ceramic match. I want to see it for myself, but...

Could somebody please tell me what the serial number for this watch is. Also, does anybody know the story behind this watch made for the Asian market?

Wolfgang427 · 30 March 2009, 03:56 PM

Looks nothing like the real BLUESY

Yes I am interested in knowing the story behind this watch as well.

Wow - the ceramic bezel sets is apart for sure.

Tony-GB · 24 September 2008, 01:09 AM

Mic, can't you go back & take better pics?

Looks good so far. Thanks for posting.

A beauty in photos and I'm sure, even prettier in 'the wild'.

Time Traveller · 24 September 2008, 02:29 AM

I think these are the first pics I have seen of the new Submariner outside Baselworld. I am still not sold on the blue, but thank you for sharing.

flumazenil · 24 September 2008, 02:47 AM

Does the TT usually come out the next year after the introduction of the all gold? Then the following year SS? Due to the tough economic times, I wonder if Rolex will up the timetable for the SS version. I can only hope.

karmatp · 24 September 2008, 03:14 AM

It does look like a sharp watch, but their is way to much gold and blue for my taste. I am a simple guy though, and SS is all I can wear.

I am with you. No bluesy, gold or polish for me. I am a SS guy. But you know what - I like to see TT/goldies and diamonds in pictures or on someone elses hand. Sometimes they are eyecatching.

JJ Irani · 24 September 2008, 03:37 AM

Seen it in person.....not very impressed. The original BLUE of the Sub has somehow been missed out by the Rolex designers. Very sad!!

JJ ,the gentleman with the pics here seems to think that the 2009 TT sub does NOT have the flat sky blue that we have seen on lo these many other pics. His rather poor photos seem to contradict this. Having seen the watch yourself, is it your statement that we are going to be stuck with this lackluster flat blue on the TT and NOT just on the white gold.....Too bad certainly if true !

Z-Sub · 24 September 2008, 03:53 AM

that's great and I can't wait to see it either, but probably no gold for me.
love to see what that blue color looks like in person.

You will be very disappointed.....and more so if you place it next to the original BLUESY!!

Greenring · 25 September 2008, 01:40 AM

I prefer SS over TT in general except for the Blue TT Sub that JJ reviewed. That cobalt blue really grabbed me. Pity that the blue color in the photo has changed from the cobalt blue of the TT sub. I'll just have to eyeball it in person.

C. Davidson · 24 September 2008, 03:55 AM

Thanks for the pics, looks great.

goss810 · 25 September 2008, 04:42 AM

congragulations, wonderful watch even photos are low quality, by the way I can not wait for SS SUB No date with ceramic bezel I will buy SS of this as soon as it will release first.
