I think the SS holds up better over years than the TT sub, what do you guys think? because ive been told the tt links are not solid.

hmmm. It seems that the 50th sub is more easy to get than a SS daytona. WHY?

Less distribution it seems on the SS Daytonas. They are rarely for sale at ADs and are often held for customers who spend bunches of cash or sold at a premium by the AD to either grey dealers or to customers.

The TT blue Sub is simply beautiful, in my opinion. The LV Sub's green bezel is not "my cup of tea". I like the 16610 (SS Sub) also.

It's a tough decision since both have their pluses and minuses. I initially bought the LV, but if I were to do it again...I may get the TT...or maybe not. I did say it was a tough decision.

Not only is Bluesy beautiful, but it's style and grace have stood the test of time. I can't in good faith vote against a true icon.
I gotta say Bluesy |

I received the LV in January for my birthday. At the end of the day it is about what looks best to you when you put it on your wrist. You see more of the TT out in the wild than the LV so if you are into having something a bit less prevalent go for the LV. Either one you cannot go wrong.

Both GREAY timepieces. Can't go wrong with either. If it was my decision, I would do the TT sub...but not if it was my first and only Rollie.

have you thought about the new Milgauss Green Glass? MSRP is $6K, and is selling between $2-$4k OVER MSRP!
my vote is neither watch. if you're looking for a classic get the SS GMTII-C(ceramic bezel) or the Standard Bearer, SS Submariner Date, Black Dial(all time best selling rolex model, holds value over the decades better than any other model). BTW, are you a nudist, or what? best, dan |

thanks guys for all the info... I think bluesy it is then.
this picture was taken of me at a family pool party. I cut the backround out for personal reasons. but I thought I looked thin in this picture as well as it was the only picture i had on my computer at the time when i made this account. This JJ you speak of, He seems like a sharp guy. If you say we look a like then that is a complement. |

My vote goes to Bluesy as well, so another vote for the TT Blue Sub.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that JJ will vote for Bluesy. As for JJ being your "Doppelgänger", check out a few of his posts and you be the judge.

Get the LV. If you buy bluesy you might be mistaken for being JJ.

Both great!!! But if me, I prefer LV than Bluesy. I don't really like gold watch.

I vote Bluesy also. It's more versatile and just better looking, IMO.

I wouldn't get either one of those...personally..
However, since it is a choice....go for the LV. It's only been out for 5 years and the Blue one has been out for 25 years...unless you want the extra bling that comes with a TT watch..

Has the blue sub really been around for 25 years? I probably will wait for a make over then if I were to get one.
