Decisions, decisions...

Wondering about flipping my Bluesy for the new Sub in black...

I would have to shell out a substantial amount of €€€...

Would you do it?

dalip · 6 December 2010, 10:01 PM

How much do you wear the 16613?

Hi Dalip, I would say... maybe 20-30% of the time. Tops.

bayerische · 6 December 2010, 10:04 PM

A given is ofcourse that the Sub is very close to my favourite, DSSD...

MonBK · 6 December 2010, 10:09 PM

No way.

Hey Andreas

I guess it's all about how much you want the new sub...If you're dreaming about it and keep imagining it on your wrist then it's going to be hard to resist

Personally I much prefer the SS models...

I have always traded watches I was no longer wearing much...

Maybe sit on this for a while...

Wear you're tt sub for a week...don't take it off...and see how you feel in 7 days

EE33 · 6 December 2010, 10:27 PM

I wouldn't flip/ditch/swap my 16613 for another watch as I'm too happy with it.
Get another watch for sure, but not part with my current.

Yep...it certainly looks fantastic on you Desmonda.... oops...I meant Desmondo

rolexsubdate · 6 December 2010, 10:32 PM

Hail no .... I wear my 16613 about once a month, for a day! and I ain't
trading it .... there is nothing like it man ... you will regret it ...

L-16610 · 7 December 2010, 02:36 AM

an honest answer ?

I don't like both. I do not like bicolor watches and the new sub isn't my cup of tea too

Go for tha LV, BUT OLD STYLE !! 16610LV !!!

sea-dweller · 7 December 2010, 05:23 AM

Personally, I would not. I owned a 16613 and sold it a few years back (regrettably).

SLS · 7 December 2010, 05:35 AM

Stick with the 16613, the 116610 is similar to the 116600. Plus, you will take a bath on the 16613.

Not in a million years!

RRGHOST1 · 7 December 2010, 09:03 AM

Love TT watches so i wouldn't do any swap for a SS model.

psv · 7 December 2010, 09:11 AM

Yes, yellow gold doesn't belong on a dive watch! :-) (no offense to ppl of other opinion, of course)

blackmsport · 7 December 2010, 09:16 AM

Let me ask you this question:

How do you fit a condom on an elephant ?

Asnwer : there is no effing way

the same answer to your thread title

Tools · 7 December 2010, 09:21 AM

I'd do it with the blue one in a heart beat........

Now, if it was a killer Black TT, no way...........

SCA · 7 December 2010, 09:23 AM

Yes... I do have a fondness for blue dials, but personally I do not care for gold.

yemenmocha · 7 December 2010, 12:31 PM

Bah, that's definitely a downgrade.

kcmo · 7 December 2010, 12:41 PM

While I'm not a huge fan of the blue 16613, I'd say keep it for variety sake. I think the new Sub is too close in style to the DSSD that you already have.

Bisquitlips · 7 December 2010, 12:52 PM

Keeping the 16613 if it were my choice.

I sold mine and am regretting it, but will soon have my Daytona Meteorite. On the great hunt now for the right dial.

Anyway, after I get the Daytona I will reacquire a Bluesy or even a TT Black Sub at some point.

George Ab · 7 December 2010, 02:46 PM

Not a huge fan of the 16613 due to TT (but the blue is pretty cool); however, I would keep over the 116610. It is just too square, and clasp is pretty thick. I prefer the rounder classic style. However, if it speaks to you, go for it. If I were to go the new sub route, it would be the LV.

timeisfathaoftruth · 7 December 2010, 02:49 PM

Certainly not if I had to add a substantial amount of $$$

I'd rather wait for the price of a black 116610 to come down in the resale market and then I would add it to the blusey.

Watch Fan · 7 December 2010, 07:19 PM

Not a chance!
