After a long wait with an old Tag and on a recent trip to VA, I purchased my first Rolex. With price constraints I was initially looking at the SS GMT-Master II. As I had an opportunity to go by the AD, she was kind enough to show me the other rolexes. One that really blew me away was the TT Blue Sub!!!. I had earlier read and re-read other posts in the forum raving about the Blue SUB - JJ's the culprit

which made me madly desire one at that point. Sometimes emotions ride over sanity and that was a time for it. Perhaps the time for the GMT will come later

Many thanks for other member's opinions & experiences which pushed me towards the Blue SUB especially JJ.

Geez! thanks guys....with so many good wishes I feel like buying another one - maybe in couple of years when wifey and wallet permits.

nwg · 29 May 2007, 11:10 PM

Very, very nice.

If I bought another sub, I think it would also be a blue one as well. Does it come in all silver bracelet though? For some reason I have never liked the two colour ones.
