As some of you are aware I was waiting for the call from my contact at a local AD, he was trying for a T/T Blue for me....

Well I got the call this afternoon..... and then my door knocked about 7pm......

Paid £3000 - Brand new, Z serial, I'm well pleased. It's a keeper me thinks !!

Congrats on a great Sub! You have a fantastic pair! Enjoy!

Downing · 4 October 2007, 05:43 AM

Alright, Dan!!!

From the pictures, it appears you got one of the original, i.e. darker blue, dial models.

Good on 'ya, mate!

I'm not 100% but it looks like any other Blue Sub I've seen - ie the older colour, which I think I'd prefer !?

Either way - it is stunning I have to say

Ah!!! I didn't mean congrats for getting the darker dial model. I meant congrats for getting such a lovely watch.

If it turns out you have the lighter shade dial, the only important thing is that you think it's stunning. I've seen both dials and IMHO there's not a lot of difference, some but hardly any, and neither is "better" than the other. Both shades are stunning as far as I'm concerned.

Congrats again!

Congrats! Beautiful pair of watches!

EvEr34 · 4 October 2007, 11:08 AM

Congrats on your new acquisition. I would say that TT blue is the ONLY watch that I will never part with. Everything else is flippable to me...but not bluesy.

BLSampson · 4 October 2007, 11:14 AM

Congrats. I have the same two watches.

Gaijin · 4 October 2007, 11:19 AM

Congratulations Dan! It's a thing of beauty isn't it? Wear it in good health!

BiG JeEzY · 4 October 2007, 12:48 PM

Those are great pictures!! Enjoy your new watch in the very best of health!

I was just curious, does anybody know the conversion of 3000 pounds to US dollars?

I am guessing it is around the high 7000 range.
