Both great!!! But if me, I prefer LV than Bluesy. I don't really like gold watch.

You can't go wrong with any of them. If I really had to choose, I'd take bluesy since it's more of a classic.

You seem to have nicely tanned skin, so I think the TT Blue Sub would suit you well. The LV would be too fair for your skin.

Get the Bluesy, pal. BOTH watches have HOLLOW centre links if that's your concern.....but, by the same token, I can assure you the hollow links are very strong and have been time proven over all these years.

On resale, most Rollies will take a hit.....so just go with the one YOU like and don't think about resale.

Good luck - JJ

Both are great, so I would have a tough time choosing too. Right now, I would go for the LV in part because I like the maxi dial. Bluesy is very nice if you dress up for work, however.

I bought the LV but my son's ideal watch is the blue TT.
Does the gold get scratched easliy on the bracelet?

Hard to say...Both are SUPER. I think bluey is the best watch for you. Classic and super nice. I prefer LV RIGHT now due to my age. The TT sub is one of my favorites.... Good luck!

TT Blue gets my vote but I'm a little biased.
The LV is sharp & I wouldn't mind having one but not at the expense of losing my Blue Sub. Rolex and the Blue Sub just kind of go hand in hand (might have something to do with the billboards, lol)

Both Subs are great.I would always go for TT Blue Sub,but if you don`t like gold and you like more casual style,then the LV is perfect choice.

after years and years from now, say 25 + years, if and when I need a new insert, will rolex still have the green to replace in my LV?

I'm also thinking bluesy more of a choice for myself..

i think u look good with both. but the bluessy might be better for u. i got a LV and it matches my slightly dark tan skin color. it's my 1st rolex and i never thought i will get a green watch. but the minute i saw it, i know i must have it. i wear it everyday - in shorts, t-shirt, in suits.... it's sporty looking and yet versatile for formal wear as well.... btw, i'm 31...

The TT Blue is the only choice. That is the one to get.

I see A LOT of TT subs here in California. But I have never seen another LV out in the wild. I love mine!

It's one of those things that are very personal. I've tried on some TTs but it just doesn't look right on my wrist. I would personally go for the LV. You should go to an AD and try them on and spend enough time there to really make up your mind. The one that smiles to you and looks right, is the watch for you my friend.

hmmmmm

Where to start...LV is not seen so much but a lot are put off by the green bezel. Got the Maxi dial though and that gorgeous deep black with that clean white maxi lume is just stunning.

Bluesy....I think it is one of the most beautiful watches in the world. The blue dial is amazing but those gold links look like scratch magnets. I've also seen a few around.

If I could have both I would as I do love old Bluesy but....I chose the LV. I see very few of them and when I saw one at my AD I just fell in love with it.

Go with what your heart tells you.
