There are solid end links (SEL) on the newer Subs. Plus there is more gold, I believe in the newer subs, as well as the blue on the dial is much more brilliant.

Jowie,
If I had to choose between the two, I would give them both a lengthy visual inspection, and check the service records just to make sure they have been properly cared for. ![]()

pre 99 models have swiss-t<25 ... are you basing their years on their serial numbers or dates of purchase?

![]() ![]() Even these pics don't begin to do it justice. My advice to you is to wear them both and choose the one you enjoy more. If you're not a "gold" watch guy.. the ss is definitely less apt to scratch and scuff as the softer center links of the tt... If you like the flash... go for the tt blue.

In 1994, when I had the option between a TT Blue and a TT BLACK Sub, I opted for the BLACK because the BLUE looked pretty awful.
Today, the BLUE has been vastly improved....for sure!!! ![]() ![]() ![]()

I would say go for the TT Blue if you have the option between the two. They'll both hold up the same over the years.
