I have full gold and two-tone models. I rarely wear my Smurf or full rose CHNR. They still look brand new. My daily is the tt rootbeer.

sambb · 6 June 2021, 06:55 AM

I have a TT bluesy. I wish i had bought it years sooner.

chc4au · 6 June 2021, 06:59 AM

My first Rolex was a TT Datejust in 1987. Still have it been serviced once about 10 years back but hardly ever wear it.

Tough question. I wear the tt daily and rarely the full gold. The tt fits every occasion. So I guess it’s the tt. At least for now.

I have a TT Sub. I bought this because I wanted it, not the price or availability. Looks good without being looking like a bit of Bling. No offense.

Thelastdetailnv · 6 June 2021, 07:24 AM

Absolutely my first choice. I already had an all SS piece so I wanted some variation. 100% happy.

amanbra · 6 June 2021, 07:56 AM

No my tt was not my first choice. But i love it.

Looks great Spartacus,,
Presently waiting for the same watch,,
How long did you wait for yours?
Wear in good health,,,

Definitely the Submariner 116613LB with the Blue Dial & Bezel. I owned this Watch in 2016 but in 2018 I traded it in for the T/T Daytona 116503 (New Model)

with the White MOP 8 Diamonds Dial. I am still wondering if I did the right thing, maybe next year I will purchase another 116613 LB

You 100% did the right thing. Bluesey’s are awesome, but Daytona’s are on another level in my opinion.

I would never buy anything two-tone, period. Or anything that has yellow gold unless it’s plating for some audio connection. Two-tone is the equivalent of blue dress shirts with white collars.

Strad · 6 June 2021, 01:32 PM

To be honest I wanted a 116500 and I'm still trying to get one. I was offered a TT with a Champagne dial and I went for it. All current Daytonas have the same movement and I wanted something gold. With the exception of my TT Datejust, all my other watches are stainless. When I service it I can change to any other dial offered for that model.

I hear you man, or even worse, when people wear a Sea Dweller when they're not in the water. That's the equivalent of wearing sweatpants with a blazer.

About 2 months with some history, plus they knew I was very excited to get one and would take great care of it. Yes the waiting game is a pain, but it does makes you feel privileged when you finally get the call. And yes, I do realise a white Daytona would be a different kettle of fish to a CHNR, as far as getting on a list lol.

As “thatsubguy” do you only wear yours in the water then?

Obviously this thread is full of people with a passion for TT watches. I think his comment was unnecessary. Seeing as his watch apparently is a SD I figured eye for an eye was fair game.

haha, no worries, actually there was no sarcasm to be recognized, I wanted it to sting. But yes, full disclosure I was of course joking ;-)

I may be a little ignorant, what are the connotations behind blue dress shirts with white collars?

SaddleSC · 8 June 2021, 12:01 AM

It absolutely was my first choice. The year was 1996 and this watch was prominently featured on nearly every billboard in the city where I got my first finance job out of college. It was my grail and it was amazing...in fact, it still is!

tla · 8 June 2021, 02:50 AM

It wasn’t my first choice but when I tried it on.. instant love for it!

Pongster · 8 June 2021, 03:02 AM

My first Rolex was a two tone datejust. Still with me. The quintessential Rolex for me.

ronricks · 8 June 2021, 03:18 AM

My CHNR was simply because my AD says he gets more BLNR's and BLRO's and I can get one of those next.
