TT Sea-Dweller been in the AD's window display for 2 days

[Quamby]

For those in Hongkong, the Chow Tai Fook on Eastpoint Rd Causeway Bay has a TT Sea-Dweller looking for an owner at list price. The watch has been in the window display for two, maybe three days.

Don't let it be a Window-Display Dweller!

Though that is a new model, not my cup of tea. Thanks for sharing.

I really wanted that model a while ago. No AD wanted to sell to me, VIP only, blah blah.

When I finally tried it on the flesh, felt too big for my wrist. Didnt really like the proportions. Maybe it wasn't such a hot piece after all..

It’s a direct correlation to the TT Black Sub. It’s the least popular of the TT Sub family. Most people when buying a TT Sub buy a Bluesy for the sunburst dial. The SD43 is just a large Sub to the rest of the world and the same rules of attraction apply. Had the TT SD43 been a blue sunburst, everybody would have lost their mind and it would be over $20k in the grey market.

You are correct. I think the TT is to YG TT Sub looking and really doesn't do it for me. However, if they would have changed it to a blue sunburst or green sunburst, I think it would be demanding a heavy premium. Sadly, in cases they sit.

A sunburst green SD43 would have instantly chopped the LVc off at the knees. A modern movement in the SD43 size would put the Hulk back to a sub $10k watch. Unfortunately the new Super Hulk would instantly be a $20k new release.

No, mon ami, I am not an AD or an AD staff.

I was surprised seeing it two days ago and I didn't think much of it as I thought it was a TT Sub. But it turned out to be a TT Sea-Dweller and it looked huge compared to the DJ and Day-date next to it.

it will be more popular than a TT sea dweller. Neither will be that hard to get though.

I saw two blue dial DJ 41(one diamond dial/one non diamond) sitting today in Houston.... its slowing down generally. Those were getting snapped up until pretty recently, non diamond in particular . That is the first sign to me, the normal display case sitters returning to the display case. We have a way to go for the true populars to reappear in the case though.

I hope it slows down dramatically, so that I may own both the ss Daytona and blue dial sky dweller that can be purchased at an AD for my own enjoyment!

My AD had one a few weeks ago
It sat for at least a few weeks, maybe more. It has since sold

Damn HK is too far of a swim. I know of some one who wants one of these!

[rominvicta]

Great watch, great pallet of colours and awesome fit! My wrist is 6.5 and it sits as good as the best!

[klenboy]

This particular timepiece is not really difficult to get. AD's will pull this out for you to look at if you ask for it specifically.
