Lusting for TT

[echau]

Up to this point, I've only worn steel watches from a variety of brands. I love the look of a full gold piece, but it's just not my style, though I'm sure it will be one day. I've decided that my next watch will be two toned. I probably won't purchase till later in the year, but I want to get your opinion on which two toned watch I should pursue:

116613 LB
116613 LN
116713
116523

Right now I'm leaning towards the bluesy because I've enjoyed owning a 14060M and 116610 LV, but I'm not sure yet if I should change it up.

Thanks,

Edward

16613 ,,,, cleaner lines , bluesey face ,,, later sel and gold through clasp version ,,, hard to beat , and as some folk dont appreciate them , some stunning deals to be had.
just a thought.

Although I like watches, I only LUST over beautiful women.

116613 LB or LN are both great choices.

I would, but the older style oyster bracelet clasp does not sit center on my 6.5" wrist. With my 14060 I removed one of the permanent links to get it to sit centered. After owning the Hulk, I've decided that the newer models just look better on my wrist. They have an extra removable link, and the new clasp is just leaps and bounds over the old tinny one.

I'd pick the Panda Daytona. I prefer the GMTc as full gold.

The new TT Sub with the sunburst dial or the TT GMTIIC. The latter wears differently as it is a bit thinner and sits more flat on the wrist, and the lugs are just a tad less maxi.

That is my baby. One of the few TT watches I like although I am not sure how I feel about the way that one has all its hands changed to red.

Dont look directly into the face or it will hypnotize you into submission...
17 years and I am still in love with this watch....Now thats staying power.

^^ My choices with clear advantage to the Sub.

116613LB is my favourite TT Rolex and I went with the Smurf blue.

All are excellent choices. If you think you may be interested in a blue dial watch, I'd check out the 116523 with the blue Arabic dial. It's a stunning watch and having a Daytona would add some variety to your collection.

I agree the red hands work well on the WG but the gold hands look better on the TT.

Great pic Phong, love the Blue sub too but think I will go DJ2 for a blue Rolex... probably due to your great pics!

I only flipped my 16613 for the full gold. GMT II also looks the goods if blue isn't your thing.
I did find the same issue as you did with the old models clasp as well, it needed a half link.

Always a pleasure my friend.

Thanks for the great pics guys! I have a lot to think about, but as we all know, one day we want one, the next day we want another...I wish I could just buy all of them. For now, it looks like the 116613 LB is the most popular, and it was the one I was already leaning towards...

[Numberjack]

I almost went for the 116613 lb but in the end I chose this

Bluesy is a great first TT. Easy in Easy out.

cant argue ,,, but they are no where near as elegant as the older classic ,, always just do a clasp swap ,, but they are expensive ,,, have a couple of 16613s , a black and a blue ,, one with lug holes and a black dial , no gold through clasp , the other a blue no holes sel with gold through the clasp oh , and ym hands ,, depends on the day as to which i like best.
i like tt watches though ,,, good hunting , look forwards to seeing the pics.
