I got my 1st Rolex in 1991 for my 30th birthday. I had dreamed of owning one for 10 years. I thought I wanted a TT but couldn't afford it. When I saw the SS Submariner I fell in love with it. For the next 10 or so years, I never took it off my wrist. I didn't even think about another model. That was until I saw the Blue TT Sub. I am a former college football player and die hard fan. My college colors are Blue and Gold. When I saw this combination on a Sub I knew I had to have it. I think it was a newer color combination at the time and my AD in San Francisco told me there was a 6 month wait. A couple of weeks later, I was visiting Munich. I stumbled into a 150-year old watch shop. They had a Blue TT in the window. I guess it was destiny. My "dream" watch available on my 40th birthday during a trip to Germany. I hemmed and hawed for a couple of hours and after a couple of liters of liquid courage, I went back. Anyway, I love them both but I wear the TT 99% of the time. #50 is 4 years away. I guess I should be looking for a gift for that occasion! I look forward to participating in the forum.

Welcome GoldenBear

I enjoyed reading about your experience, and hope you will share your further experiences too, especially your 50th

The blue dial TT has a very strong following, as you appear to further confirm.
Looks like you are another satisfied Rolex customer.

Welcome Golden Bear.

You know blue and gold are Lakers colors.

Maybe you need a black and silver (like a black EXP II) so you can cover the Raiders
