Imho, one of the best looking Rolex watches out there!

Personally, however, I for my part prefer a Rolex sport's watch in stainless steel only.

To each his own, though. It's still a beauty!

It is the most beautiful watch that I have ever seen. I have one and could easily never get another watch for the rest of my life. I have had mine for 8 years and rarely take it off. If I do, I miss it right away.

I'm in the same boat with Bo regarding SS. It is a beautiful watch though.

I wouldn't want this to compete with the TT based on aesthetics. I really like the TT contrast better. I just had a TT already and opted for a different look with the Sub.

I think the TT Blue Sub is the best looking watch in the entire Rolex lineup

I used to think the same thing, but I guess my tastes have been changing over the past few years. It is a beautiful watch none the less .

I am on the same page as GoldenBear... If I didn't buy another watch ever, I probably wouldn't complain. My biggest challenge is that I can't find other watches that are even close for me. I keep trying, and I get tired of them. Its the only possession I cant stop staring at!!!!

One of the prettiest Rolex models ever made. The 16613 combines style, elegance, and class with just a slight amount of 'bling'. I'm attaching a photo of mine, which is a U series 16613. I usually wear this for dressy occasions, but have worn it from time to time with khakis or jeans and polo shirt.

Oh, my.....

I lurve the blusey. I think most people start with a sub, like me, for one reason or another. I wanted the blusey sooooo much. Still do. I think its the most beautiful watch they make...(made, i heard they stopped and the new one is ....well....not so beautiful)

Trouble is. i just cant carry one off. I love the watch, it was he one i wanted to flip my firts sub for, but it just dosent suit me.....

Oh well, someimes life is also about loosing. Congrats on the watch...

Very jelous man here!!!:ma chinegu

I love the blue dial and almost got a blue sub. But in the end, the yellow gold doesn't fit me. I'm much happier with SS.

Gotta agree with you, JJ! One of the best TT Blue Sub pics I've ever seen!

But your pics of the "Blusie" aren't bad, either!

I think the TT Subs are the best looking watches in the range. The blue is much prefered on this site (although I have the black and would never change it).

IMO, the most beautiful sport watch ever made.

The day mine arrived and I took this pic was an absolute thrill.

A black one you can compare the blue too. Mine is a circa 1991-1993 and has had a lot of action in the last 13 years.

All cleaned up


Straight off my wrist - a bit dusty.
