Have to agree. The five digit bluesy with slimmer lug and sunburst blue are beautiful.

It took me sometime to truly appreciate it

LV for sure! The maxi dial and such a special piece from Rolex.

But what really tips it for me with the LV is the Maxi dial on a 5 digit watch , it's the perfect combination & Rolex really nailed it with the LV .

Really solid advice

Definitely not a boring watch, the two tone really stands out vs the standard sub. Having said all of that I just sold it and bought a 16610lv here on the forum. I really love the maxi deal, the plots and hands are definitely more visible.The green bezel is stunning too. Expensive though

The Kermit: I am waiting my Kermit to come from Italy tomorrow, but I have only seen pictures of Kermit. I feel that it is different. Not as beautiful as Bluesy is, but I get the kicks of the collectibility of Kermit. Especially the Y- and F-series, which are very limited.
If you like to think of future value (many people here tend to dislike the thought that Rolex could be an investment): Kermit has almost tripled its value in the last eight years (Y- and F-series). According to different articles, Kermit is one of the best investment Rolex-watches. According to my limited research, the value of Kermit will continue to rise. There are plenty of Kermit -threads here, just search Kermit from this forum.
One of the members shared this link, which is great: https://www.watchclub.com/curated-by...ry-sub-decoded
Bluesy or Kermit; both are amazing watches!

This shouldn't even be a question... the LV will all the way!!

[michael8238]

LV. Much cleaner.
I've never been a fan of TT sports models, except the new rootbeer

[DGB]

Similar watches technically, but very different feel on your wrist.
The LV is an investment grade nowadays, the 13 is a scratch magnet especially on the center links.
They are also on a different budget, the LV is rarer, especially the flat 4 mark 1 but the TT bluesy gives gorgeous reflection with the light.
The LV is more discreet IMHO. I would go for it.

I had a tt 16613 black sub which I ended up flipping. TT just seemed so old school. LV only going up.

[joli160]

The LV between these two.
Any other Sub only 6 digit reference for me.
(Do try a 6 digit vs 5 digit on your wrist, completely different watches in how they wear )

I prefer the Submariner.

Agree, but between these two the flat 4 Kermit.

Have to admit this looks great. I might need to add one. I have an ‘03 LV, Mk I, flat 4.

Thanks and you should really give the 16613 blue a try. Usually I don’t like the two tone but 16613 is different, I find the deep blue dial works very well with the yellow gold.

The blue dial appears black color sometime depending on the light direction.

True that looks like a different watch!

[marcotagudelo]

LV,less flashy and packs a punch for those in the know.
