Black or Blue Sub?
Relatively new member looking for advice on a Sub. Sold my two-tone blue and miss it. Black or blue Sub, and best value for the dough? M series possibly?

After researching, I agree. Any best year I should be focusing on? or is it just condition?

Just look for condition. Most Y serials or earlier would have the lug holes...if you like those.

There are a few nice looking TT Blue Subs in the watches for sale section right now.
Good luck with your search.

That is a tough one I have owned the blue as well. When I sold it I bought the 2 tone YM white dial, which I am still happy with. I am not as crazy about the old blue dial as I once was, so I would likely go with the black. I love the black but more so the black Ceramic. If I was buying again that would be the one for me ... I think :-)

TT Blue (16613) will set you back about 1K more than an M-series black sub. If I were you and I missed my bluesy, I'd replace it with the same thing - and never sell the new one...

Just watched the movie Margin Call. Blue looked excellent with blue suit.

If it's the 16613, Blue looks best. If it's the new Ceramic 116613, black handsdown.
But there are folks that really like the smurf blue ceramic, so it's really up to you. |
