It have been offer to me a TT Blue Sub, at a very very reasonable price, I will be my only watch. I am little concern because I mostly wear sport rather than formal. Any toughs? Thanks.

Johny · 22 January 2011, 05:25 AM

daily watch...yes why not?

Lion · 22 January 2011, 05:27 AM

Go for it...it's a beautiful watch!!!

Dr. Robert · 22 January 2011, 05:28 AM

TT blue sub is very adaptable.

MonBK · 22 January 2011, 05:37 AM

Not formal at all.

Kanger · 22 January 2011, 05:38 AM

ceramic or not?

Art 1 · 22 January 2011, 05:40 AM

For many years that was my daily watch.

GerardoG · 22 January 2011, 05:53 AM

No problems as daily watch; if you like it, go for it!!

Len · 22 January 2011, 05:58 AM

As I understand your concern is that the gold makes it look more formal than SS ?

rad87gn · 22 January 2011, 05:58 AM

Every single Rolex is made to be worn daily. Just pick out the one you like.

othelo · 22 January 2011, 06:02 AM

Yes it is a pre Ceramic model (around 2007), and yes my concern is about its formality and the liberal environment where I work...

dalip · 22 January 2011, 06:09 AM

I think the TT sub blue is very wearable as an only watch. It's versatile enough to shift with a suit or shorts and t shirt.. Very understated for a watch with yg.

I think its an great watch that I am considering buying myself in the future, but I do think that some see the TT (gold) as more formal compared to steel only.

snowbird · 22 January 2011, 06:19 AM

I think the TT blue sub is a great watch, IMO the pre-ceramic version is the best looking watch that Rolex has made.

It's a question of personal taste, but myself I prefer SS for daily wear though and TT to dress things up a bit. As noted above though many like TT for daily wear.

slcbbrown · 22 January 2011, 06:29 AM

It's a sport watch and a very tough one, too. My first Rolex was a tt GMT in 1973. I wore it daily, in the Army, in manufacturing facilities, hiking, etc., and it still looks great. I had it serviced and gave it to a son. Whenever I see him with it I'm impressed with how sharp it looks.

If you really like the blue Sub, you'll have a great watch for life.

clb521 · 22 January 2011, 06:31 AM

I wear a 2007 TT blue for my daily watch and I love it. 99% of the world will not even notice it or even know what it costs or what its worth. Buy it, wear it & enjoy it! I do!

Subexplorer · 22 January 2011, 06:31 AM

Sub TT = elegant and sporty. Depends on what clothing you are wearing, the Sub will adapt. Go after it! Nice watch!
Cordial regards, Abel.

vukotab · 22 January 2011, 06:49 AM

TT Blue Sub is for many members (including me) most beautiful Sport Rolex. IMHO it`s perfect everyday watch, perfect dress watch...all in all, perfect watch!

And you should go for it...

sea-dweller · 22 January 2011, 08:29 AM

It's a beautiful watch, as I owned one, but have sadly sold it.

For everyday use, it should be fine, but the gold portion does pick up scratches easily.

Badfish179 · 22 January 2011, 08:54 AM

I had one and I loved it, but I sold it because I wanted another watch and I didn't wear it everyday because of the gold. If I were you I'd go for a stainless sub unless you can't get one for a better price.

Best of luck!

PHDX2 · 22 January 2011, 08:55 AM

Daily wear? Absolutely!!!

Singslinger · 22 January 2011, 09:40 AM

I have a friend who works on a farm and uses the TT Blue Sub every day, so to answer your question - yes, go for it.

dddrees · 22 January 2011, 10:10 AM

I know someone that uses this as their daily watch, I see no reason why you can't.

Lost Texan · 22 January 2011, 10:13 AM

My TT sub-c was a daily until i got my SS Sub-c. Now i alternate every other week. I love my sub-c's.

GoldenBear · 22 January 2011, 10:24 AM

It can be completely casual and/or completely formal. I wear mine with a Tux, business suit and shorts/swim trunks. Never looked out of place.

jbullis · 22 January 2011, 10:37 AM

Yes it can. My father has worn his plenty while working in his farm, or working with his street rods......

franksrollie · 22 January 2011, 10:42 AM

You will love it!

Me too but the tt sub would be my one and only if I could only have one. I think they work every way if you like the "bling" effect of the gold with the blue.

No problem at all, unless you work down a mine I suppose

I have the same two watches and do the same thing. I also have a blue nato and a blue/yellow nato and they look great on the TT Blue Sub, and tone it down slightly. Do it my friend
