Good Morning All,

Im in a bit of a quandry, I stopped by a local Ad (not my AD), just to try on a new TT Blue sub and was astonsihed at how light it was. I realize that I wear a new DD alot, but the difference in weight kind of surprised me. I also have an "F" 116233 and a circa 86-87 5513, so it's not that I only wear solid gold, I just expected it to be much heavier. Isn't the current model Solid links as well as SEL??

Thanks for your input!!

Centre gold links are still HOLLOW - total weight with all original bracelet links is 150 grams - not very light in my opinion!! Glad you liked it!!

Fran,I just bought a '95 Blue Sub a few weels ago and must admit it was a little lighter than I thought it would be.I guess since it is a 40mm model I just assumed it would be heavier.Not that it is light, Peter

Hey Pete, I'll be in Delray next week, I'm having dinner at a place called Tramonti's I think? is it any good?

It's just a matter of getting used to the weight difference. It's like putting on a DJ after having worn a sport's Rolex. At first the DJ seems very small, but after some hours you don't think about it anymore. My guess is that you will experience the same thing with the TT Sub.

Bluesy was a lighter watch than I had anticipated, as well. I got over it.

Well my black dialed TT Sub is heavier than a Blusey. So there.
