I agree with Omar. Its a beautiful Rolex. Which dial are you thinking? Black or Blue?

If you want one be careful of the price increase. Nobody knows when, but I think one is coming soon.

First would doubt if the Sub will change its been the same now for over 50 years.And hardly a super case just a few mm bigger,the only changes to the sub since 1988 are hardly mind blowing a SEL bracelet and non lug holes.The important bit like the movement is exactly the same as when the Cal 3135 was first introduced in 1988,so if you want a TT get one.

Definitely the blue one for sure!! With JJ being such an advocate!! Even though I appreciate Rolex for it's classical values, the supercase upgrade is definitely my concern as I am very much a contemporary person as well. That said, I certainly hope there won't be any upgrade for the seadweller which I purchased a month ago! Guess I'll have to live with it when the time comes.

But that's me ... anal..

another consideration is......by the time a new model is released with all those upgrades, the list price could have been bumped up a couple of hundreds or more.....

Once you go blue, you'll never go black...Life is too short to wait to buy that watch, possible changes or not.

I think Rolex will update the TT blue sub, better case, clasp, etc. But we will probably wait a long time for it, and by then the price will be through the roof. I vote but it now.

the blue one is really nice. a hard decision to make if i were to choose between the blue or the black.

for a dress watch, do guys think the black one is the way to go?

A fair price if the watch is in good condition.
