Incoming - Black Sub TT
This TT Black Sub is a bit of a nostalgia piece for me. The first time I went into a Rolex AD I asked to try on a Sub, not really knowing what they were and I really wasn't seriously thinking of buying one back then. So the SA comes out and lays it on the table and I thought wow this thing really shines, these Rolexes really do scintillate and sing, and it was only when I put it on that I realised it was a TT model, so no wonder I was so impressed with it.

I didn't buy it but I always remembered the huge impression it made on me and I thought I'd love to own that one day. Well, since then I have indeed owned a number of Rolexes but never that one so I decided to right that finally. And celebrated it with a nice steak lunch, feels like an old friend.

Tough choice, I did go with blue first in full YG and its a wonderful piece, so I would probably still get that first. Then get the black.

Classic Trf photo this one. I got the TT Bluesey so wouldn’t get the black tt sub but defo a hard choice if you had to decide on one. They are both great Tt submariners. Probably the black dial is more versatile but the blue dial shines.
You are adding a few nice TT Rolexes to the collection. What is the state of the collection now? Still got the full gold blue dial sub? Maybe the gold green dial submariner will get added if it gets released on Tuesday

Cheers mate and yes I still do, altho I am moving away from all gold Rolex watches as they get a bit heavy on me after a while but pics like that make me rethink! I still love PM so really like the OF offerings, the YG Champagne Daytona and RG YM 40, so I might trade for one of them in the future.

Oooof.... Backwards backwards, respectfully. Next thing I know you are going to have a two-tone datejust with the dome bezel incoming. But if you truly like it, that's what matters

Big congrats, your special Sub looks amazing and a fantastic lunch to celebrate. I enjoy the TT Black Sub daily, for me it’s a different Sub than my mates, it puts a smile on my face everyday. Nothing but Rolex love, cheers to enjoying this journey

Beautiful piece. The only reason I don't own one is because I got the blue one 4 years ago. Congrats, man.

Congratulations, that’s a great TT! It has a lot of nostalgia for me too, such a good contrast of black and gold.
