Does it actually exist? I don't see to see it in my local AD. They got the slate blue dial only without sunburst. Neither is it show in the rolex website. What's the ref?

The YG sunburst is stunning but I would say either WG Sub or RG Daytona is next on my wish list.

May I present the 1st pic I received from DSW and some wrist shots...enjoy

I was looking at Tourneau one 116613 new and and a 16613 quite old but in perfect condition. The blue color of these showing in the photo I think is the same one I saw in the previous model, the 16613. Now I have some doubts .. It may be that this 116613 are manufactured with the two colors? I think not.
I read that there is a dial to say "flat"? 116613 I believe that I saw was flatter, much more blue light. Besides the blue colors combined perfectly dial and bezel in the new model and in the old are differents.
Anyone could explain me?

I saw the TT Sunburst at Ben Bridge at Park Meadows Mall in Lone Tree, CO today and I prefer the look of my older TT bluey as the dial color match wasn't precise. Under the strong lighting of the case the metallic dial was obvious but the ceramic blue seemed darker and richer than the metallic dial which looked flatter and not as blue.

As always, this type of thing will be personal preference; I just love the fact that the two blues on my current bluey match perfectly.

Love it!! the one thing I've always loved about my 1998 U series 16613 was that awesome dial. Then with Rolex going to a different bezel the watch dial has just been dead, looks like they have got that old beautiful best looking blue dial of all time back...

Many congratulations. I love the way the contrast between the bezel colour and the dial colour changes depending on light and angle.

Congrats! I saw one in person for the first time the other day, and while the dial color is so nice, I still can't get past the idea that Rolex kept the bezel color from the flat blue model, thus having mismatching bezel and dial colors. Don't get me wrong, it's still a very nice looking watch, but I'm curious as to why Rolex did it this way.

It's my favorite for the moment. The lighting is what makes this watch interesting to wear and look at.

Beautiful watch!

IMHO, a big improvement over the "flat'' blue dial which was first used on the ceramic TT Sub.

Beautiful watch. If I had the moneythatwould be my next watch hands down.
I love looking at that blue dial it almost becomes hypnotic when you stare at it.
Simply stunning.
