I've been wanting a 116264 white dial steel TOG with the great new style Oyster bracelet for a while now. To me it's a fresh, clean, bright look and the red seconds hand, date wheel, and Turn-O-Graph lettering adds a really nice contrast. It's a brand new "D" serial.

I've also been eyeing this 16613 TT slate serti Sub for quite some time now as well. I've had a black 16610 and a couple of blue TT's that just weren't doing it for me. I wanted a watch with stones this time and these round brilliants really do sparkle in the sunlight. The not too often seen slate dial goes well with the brushed steel and the blue bezel contrasts nicely with the gold in the bracelet and the blue saphires at 6,9, and 12. This is also a new "Z" serial.

Wow!!!

C.J. · 24 December 2006, 06:34 AM

You weren't kidding, were you?

They're stunning

Congratulations

mailman · 24 December 2006, 06:37 AM

Man those are nice watches.

I've had one of those Subs on my wrist and I can definetly say that it's a stunner. The stones don't make it over the top at all. Congrats and good luck with them both.

Didn't you have a similar TOG before that had some printing left off of the dial at the factory?

walds11 · 24 December 2006, 07:28 AM

Holy Sh*t!!! good stuff.

Yes I did have a white dial TT rose gold TOG on Jubilee purchased BNIB from my local AD that had the "Turn-O-Graph" printing omitted from the dial. They were flabbergasted when I pointed it out to them. They replaced it with another one that I still have but am going to post For Sale since I got this new one. My new style GMT II is a TT and I just don't need 2 TT watches. Here is a pic of that TOG. How bizarre is that?? Oh - and people were telling me "don't sell it because it will be worth a fortune down the road, etc., etc." Bull - first of all I wanted the red lettering on the dial and I offered the watch for sale to those same people while it was still BN and at the discounted price I paid and there were no takers...LOL.

Congratualtions! Both stunners, and some fabulous photos to boot!

I like the slate SERTI a lot, but my fav of the TT Blue Sub SERTI dials is the champagne one. It would go so well with the other stablemates:

And my wife's:

djemmtee · 24 December 2006, 08:47 AM

tog is my fav...especially with a white face with oyster bracelet. congrats!

mike · 24 December 2006, 10:30 AM

Oh My!!!

Just stunning!!! WOW!!

mailman · 24 December 2006, 11:00 AM

I would've had it replaced also. As much as I like rose gold, the TT GMT looks to have it beat hands down

montecristo · 24 December 2006, 11:02 AM

I am going to get one tomorrow... maybe.

Fiwi · 24 December 2006, 11:08 AM

The serti is very nice, another one that I would definitly consider getting in the future. My question is, do the markers glow in the dark?
