I have a TT Sub myself and I love it. However, the GMT is more versatile and makes a great travel watch. Sell the Sub.

tt - all the way

hands down - keep bluesy. it's a watch with endless versatility. looks just as good at the beach as it does grocery shopping or dressed up with a suit at a board meeting. it's a classic, recognizable and beautiful. there's a reason bluesy is so prolific, rolex did a lot of "right" with that watch.

keep bluesy, it's a classic icon of the brand!!

Well...

Really hard dicision, Man. But my humble opinion is keep your Bluesy and sell that GMT II-C. Bluesy so classic and very elegant.

That's a tough call. For me, it would probably come down to which one speaks to me the most. Hope you recover soon.

Bluesy was my first Rolex, and would be my only, if I had to dump all other watches.

I say SS GMT-C. I just gotta love the new movement, new bezel, new clasp, maxi dial, bigger hands, and solid bracelet. With all those upgrades, the makes the GMT a mighty fine option as your one and only timepiece.

I have both TT's but if I had to I would 100% sell the Blue TT sub. I really like this Rolex but I would replace it when a new Blue TT Sub is released with specced up case, bracelet and ceramic bezel. The bracelet in particular lets this watch down when compared to the new bracelets on the GMT, Daytona etc. Sell the Blue One, you can always replace it with the same model or hopefully a new model down the track.

I will keep the GMTIIc because the function is better than the blue sub! You will know it when you really need the second time zone function.

JJ you were the one that loved the TT blue sub for years, you were the one that posted here that between the new GMT and TT blue sub the second is the winner hands down, you were the one that said that the TT blue sub is perfect as is and you would hated it if they changed anything on it!!!

What is wrong with you ???
Did you hit your head anywhere recently ???

GMT IIc gets my vote

In the future it should not be too difficult to pick up another TT Sub, but the GMT IIc can be hard to come by

I hope that rolex will manufacture a ceramic blue bezel for the TT sub now that would be an awesome watch

You need to read Eddie's post very carefully!!

He's talking about a modified Bluesy with ceramic bezel and new bracelet. I would readily have to agree with such a watch....which means I still agree that Bluesy is the best of the best.

I sold mine under sorry circumstances....didn't want to - HAD to!!
