My next watch.

Hello hello....


As many of you know I just got my 216570 Expii in black. I personally dont keep my watches very long and constantly trade up. Today at my AD I tried on the Sub LV which let me say, If you are thinking of buying one dont even bother looking at pictures since they do 0% justice. The sub LV looks so much different in person its crazy. The most brilliant green that changes shades in the light. The bezel just glows with such a beautiful rich green I have seen the LV alot but never tried it on before and wow, just wow. I myself am a little flashy I admit so I am looking for some gold I checked out the DJII slate roman dial in TT and I was over it. I always buy lightly used and it seems the djii TT goes for like 8500-9000 Idc what serial either. I looked at Daytona's and I have 0% desire to own one. I thought the sub looked small on my wrist but that because of the 42mm ive been wearing. After trying on all of these watches a man with a DDII platinum still covered in stickers and his wife with a RG Daytona, walked to the showcase.After this the AD kinda stopped paying attention to me which is fine since I never buy anything there anyway Any other suggestions on what I should get next guys and gals? I apologize if this post doesnt make much sense I am using my Iphone and dont have the patience to correct everything.

Sam I am a one watch man at the moment. I save some money and trade up for something a little nicer when I get bored of my current watch. I love the djii TT but the watch that makes me go is the DDii Platinum blue roman. Which uhhhh you know $

Thanks for the input though man!

Hang on to 216570, build your collection. There's really no rush... Oh but then again I have another one incoming!

IMHO, I think you would do well to go with your first impression - Sub LV.
It's distinctive and - well - it's a Sub!

The DJ-II and DD-II will come down over time - and there's plenty of time left to get into those later.

I must say that LV is so nice! However the DJII kills it imho and in terms of flashyness. Im not crazy flashy but like some shinyness

The TT DJ2 sounds right up your alley.
Have you considered a TT Blue Ceramic Sub?

Of course! I like the 41mm a little more though. For every 15 subC I see I see maybe 2 DJiiTT. I am a fan of being different.
