Whats the difference between TT Sub vs new 2010 Sub?

[jasonchow]

Hi everyone, im a new member here. I'm very confused as i don't understand what is the difference between a steel and yellow gold ceramic Sub(116613LN) vs the new 2010 Sub(116610LN). Please explain to me as your valuable information would greatly help my decision in buying either one of them.

Is there difference in the steel material?(i believe new sub is using 904L steel)
Different bezel?(TT sub using black ceramic vs new sub using black cerachrom insert, platinum graduations)
Is both model using same movement?(new sub using self-winding 3135 calibre)

I believe both price should be quite close, so why should i choose a new 2010 ss sub over the steel and yellow gold Sub then? Will they create a steel and yellow gold version for the new 2010 Sub?

Perhaps the marketing is confusing you...

There is no "2010" model Sub...... really... Rolex does not go on a "model year" basis.

The recent release at the 2010 Baselworld of the 116610 Subs brings all Sub Dates together... The TT Sub was released to the same fanfare at last years Baselworld Watch Fair.. So you now have a choice with your ceramic Sub Date choices of case and bracelet materials.. All else is the same...

116618 - Solid Gold
116613 - Two Tone Gold and Steel
116610 - Stainless Steel

The Stainless Steel in Subs has been and continues to be 904L, they are just now marketing it more heavily. The statement "now available in 904L Stainless" simply means that instead of Gold and Two Tone, it is now available in Stainless.........

So what you mean is that both TT(116613LN) and new SS Sub(116610LN) are the same except for the extra gold?
