Hi JJ Irani i allready have the old blue 16613 up to now, i have told my mate he can have it for a price we both agreed on,, he has been after it from me for about 12 months now, ime sorry but the new TT is head and shoulders over the old model, the braclet solid links, the easyglide adjuster, the ceramic bezel, the larger lume on the face, the overall size of the new watch just over powers the old one and i loved my old one, plus you have the new inards with the new parachrom hairspring which is not affected by magnetic fields and is 10 times more resistant to shocks, for my money the new breed of rolexs wins over the old ones every time, i know that must upset some of you, but over the years i have had a few rolexs and allways moved on when a newer model came out, but hey thats just my opinion, if i had some of my old models they would be worth a bit in collectable terms but for me on my wrist i whant the latest, i still can not make my mind up between the two, they are both stunning, i will have to study, research and analize both watches till something makes my mind up for me, now weres that coin for a toss up. ha ha ha.....

Make a poll, it is easier.
I would say the black one, I do not like the new blue one, (but I do love the old bluesy!!)

Tough choice but I like the black better.

Can't go wrong either way, I just think the black is sharper than the new blue on the Sub C.

Hi guys still no decision yet, they are both just awsome, in various lights they both can out shine each other, the quality of these watches over the old subs are another world, i never thought a choice would be so hard, i will let u all know the outcome as soon as i know, truthfully there is nothing between them, ime still glad i got them both tho, watch this space......

I think the black will be worn with a wider selection
of colors and casual/dress wear. The blue is a more casual
look. That said, wearing any Rolex with anything
seems just fine for many of us. If it means anything, my wife
liked the black. Congrats on your new watch whichever
it is? They are both keepers!

Go for the black. I currently have a 16613 in Blue and I love it, but in the new style, I definitely think the black is the way to go. Good luck in your decision. Keep us posted...
