TT Sub costs more than DJ41. if price difference is not a factor, i'd go for the bluesy.

I might be missing something OP, but don't you already have the TT LB? You like it that much that you would buy it twice , after your purchase in 2o18?

if only 1, and i don't believe it will be :), i'd say the dj41 simply because you can go more dress with that. it's more versatile.

but i really love the bluesey too

OK between these two I'd go for the Bluesy. But the DJ looks great too.

Between the two, go with the DJ. However, it took you a while to save that money and you don't seem sure of what you want, so you had time to think. First, do you want either of these models, or simply want a Rolex? I ask because they are two very different watches. Now, there is nothing wrong with wanting both, but despite your having time to consider this, you still seem undecided. The two-tone and blue sub is not a versatile watch and has much wrist presence. If you are unsure, I would opt for the DJ as its the more versatile watch and despite its dressier veneer, is as tough as nails.

These watches couldn't be further apart in the universe. If I could have only one I might consider the DJ with the white dial. It's a complete sleeper watch, goes anywhere, works with everything, won't turn heads as being too flashy. The bluesy is defenitely a statement and if you feel you are comfortable and want to make that statement then go for it.

If a one and done wait for a SS sub. Or a SD43 if your wrist can handle it.

i'd choose the DJ. Classic. dress up and dress down. Never out of style

the TT sub can be flashy at times. TT tends to go in/out of style

DJ, if it's to be your one and only. Check out all the dial colors before you buy.

Tough call but I'll go for the Bluesy especially because of the blue dial.

People either love them or hate them. I am in the latter category. But if you like two tone watches, the Sub is a solid buy. Otherwise, the DJ41 would be a great choice.
Bang on.

I'd go with the DJ just because I personally hate two tone subs or any other TT sport models. Plus the DJ41s are pretty stunning in person.

Very tough. I'd go with the DJ if the one and only but I already have an SS sub and I can't imagine my lineup without a sub. You can't go wrong with either. If you don't feel the strong pull towards the diver, however, the DJ is more versatile in my opinion and is a very sleek watch perfect for every occasion, especially with that configuration.

First, I would strongly recommend that you don’t settle for what your AD has in stock. There are many great watches out there.

Between these two the TT sub is on another level compared to the DJ. So if the TT SUB was on your radar to begin with I would go with this one. It’s a special piece.

Of the two choices it would be the SS DJ. Not a fan of TT but if it was the 116618LB that is a different story at at different price point. If you can get the TT Submariner then why not a SS Submariner-C ND. A classic watch with a clean dial and cna be worn both casually and dressing up. Unless you really want on of the two offered broaden your search.

Blue Sub TT was my first Rolex. Bought it many years ago. Love it. But...I bought a DJ41 exactly as you describe in January. For me, I wear the DJ far more and have received more compliments with it. It's nearly a perfect watch for me. Good luck either way...you cant lose

The sub is gorgeous, but it's awfully flashy. If you're OK with that, it's a winner.

I had one, loved it, but after a year, it had to go.
