Hard to believe you couldnt get the 16613 to fit you. A Rolex authorized watchmaker, not an AD, would have adjusted it perfectly. That's what did. The sleeker profile of the 16613 makes for a classier look IMO and is better in the TT variant than the newer Ceramics.

I have a Ceramic Blue TT Smurf and love it. It's definitely more casual looking than pre-ceramic Blue TT watches. In fact, it looks awkward (too casual looking) paired to a suit. The lighter blue color, bright white maxi markers and larger lugs contribute to a brighter, more office casual appearance. The pre-Ceramic TT Blue is more flexible since it looks good with a suit or a casual shirt/jeans.

I feel the non-ceramic version sunburst dials are stunning. I didn't swap my TTC for a new sunburst C since the sunburst effect is muted compared to the non C version. The larger maxi markers hide/mute the sunburst and the color isn't as rich dark blue.

116613LB is probably my favorite TT with the 116713 a VERY close second.

Nice Shot! is this the sunburst? I like how this blue both on the bezel and the dial to be of a darker shade compared to those shots of the lighter shades.

Its the regular blue dial 116613LB, not the sunburst dial, the pic was taken under very bright sunlight.

Seeing these reminds how cool TT's are, I know there is a group on the forum that think they look a bit 80's but I do think Rolex pulls it off better than others. Looking at a TT Nautilus today I did not think it looked as effective (despite being a lovely watch).

Attached is my 116523, but depending on what you have those Subs look nice and sharp as well. be aware the TT does tend to dress up not down the watch, I do see my Daytona as more of a dress watch and it does generate more comments as a result than a SS watch.

I was never really a fan of two tone, but I have to admit that now that I have one, I absolutely love it.

I love my 116613 LB. New Sunburst Blue Sub for those not familiar with model numbers. I also love the TT GMT Master IIc. Currently black dial is the only option. If they make a ceramic root beer in TT, Yikes! My savings will get blown up!

Totally agree, U serial bought new on Jan 29 1999 and still the best looking dial I've ever seen. Sure I wished it had SEL and gold thru the clasp but I still love the lug holes and its 15 years old and I'm still twitterpated with it! On a Rubber B but it still show's that sweet dial...
