Of the 3 which I currently own, the SS/Pt. YM was purchased brand new from my AD in Dec. 07.

The SS Sub-date was "gifted" to me by a forum member.

The TT Blue Sub I just could not pass up as it was an amazing offer (also from a TRF member whom I met in the first week of Dec. 08 at the local mall) who let me have a one year old watch for an excellent price.

Thanks, Lach.

Well, I do take care of them; but I must give a lot of credit to my AD-cum-RSC here in Auckland who did a cosmetic make-over on the SS Sub as well as the Blue Sub, the latter I picked up only this morning.

great review on the bluesy

Keith Ur3 · 19 April 2009, 06:36 PM

Greetings
This is my first post ! I own a GMT II and will soon buy a TT Sub like you have posted. I have been reviewing the 2008 vs 2009 models of the Sub and am trying to decide if I should wait till October 2009 for the newest version.

Any advice ? is it ' worth the wait " ?
Cheers

Hi Keith,

Welcome to TRF. Is it worth the wait? Tough quesiton. The current Blue Sub has a unique Cobalt shade of Blue which somehow Rolex DO NOT want to replicate in their newer models.

However, the newer TT Blue Sub will have some amazing upgrades like....

- ALL SOLID links, yes, even the centre GOLD ones.

- A new and much better Oyster Glidelock Clasp.

- Much broader lugs on the case (although case diameter remains the same 40 mm)

- And a new maxi dial with larger markers and hands.

- And, of course, a newer and inflated price!!

Your call, my friend.

Best - JJ

zidaneong · 20 April 2009, 11:40 PM

i prefer the old version. It looks classier. :)

JPersat · 20 April 2009, 11:49 PM

Beautiful JJ, thanks for sharing.

california · 22 April 2009, 10:44 AM

definitely a nice watch to invest in. it seems to me that the dial looks darker in person when I hold it in my hand at the store.

zidaneong · 4 May 2009, 12:17 AM

california: i think is because of the reflection of light, that might had cause that effect

PONY · 8 May 2009, 05:02 AM

My Man JJ,

I also have the blue face and the blue is mesmerizing. The new blue on the white gold sub is uninspiring. I held both yesterday alongside each other. NO comparison. The TT wins hands down. The blue TT is captivating, unique, very colorful, and great to look at all day long. My best purchase ever on a Rolex.

Question: How or what product do you use to get your TT looking like brand new? I need to get mine looking like yours. I am OSD prone, so I need to know how you do it. I await your reply with eager anticipation.

Thanks,

PONY

Thanks for all the fine compliments, Pony......but ever heard of soap, a soft toothbush and good ole' H2O??

That's all you need to keep any watch looking shiny and new. Just wipe off with a soft towel and then give it a rub off with any soft lint-free optician's cloth.

Cheers - JJ

Veritas07 · 8 May 2009, 11:41 PM

Hi JJ!

How are you? The Blue Sub is one of my favorite Rolex watches of all times.
I owned this watch several times in my past but because of the “blink” of this watch and nature of my work I gave it to my dog (Luna)…

Bob

Wildman · 11 May 2009, 03:39 PM

yes, very nice watch. I bought one back in 1991. The only problem is the stretching of the links and the lock. The watch is loose and the bracelet lock will not lock. The secondary lock keeps the watch from comming off.

Chris in England · 22 May 2009, 08:12 AM

Excellent review JJ and superb photographs. Your blue Sub and your photography do you credit. Like you I'm always aware of my LV when I'm wearing it (7 days a week) and take great care not to contact the clasp with the desk. After nearly 2 years of wear it's still mint. One concern I have though, I never wear it when I fly for fear of having to take it off at airport security. The thought of my pride and joy bumping through the scanner in a tray with coins, keys, belt and shoes is not good. I wonder if any one else has the same fears or am I just paranoid? Having said that I've just come back from a trip to the Philippines and wasn't asked to remove my watch at all in Heathrow, Hong kong or Manila. I'm pretty sure my Sub would set off a few bells and alarms in the metal detectors though. Keep up the good work my friend.....Chris

tannee · 27 May 2009, 05:31 PM

Hey guys...
Love the review JJ!!!
I'm in the market for one of these babies. I love the combination of colours. I'm 28 and i'm getting a lot of mixed comments about this watch. Some say the combination of colours is 'tacky' some say it's really nice. Opinions? What do your mates say? I'm planning to have it as a everyday watch as well. And working in an office everyday i'm scared i will scratch the bracelet with the constant use of the keyboard!

vitix · 28 May 2009, 08:02 AM

man i need to get a good camera to take pictures to my watch!!!

Asad · 1 June 2009, 09:24 AM

Beautiful, no one else does two tones as good as Rolex!

TurboWatch · 5 June 2009, 01:20 AM

I own different models, but found the TT sub feels the best on my wrist. The feel, the heavy weight.

plat-numb · 8 June 2009, 03:57 PM

I wish they would do a solid SS sub with THAT blue dial.

I'm just not a gold kinda guy.

I do think that watch is a stunning work of art, and the colors work great together but... it's just not me.

Blue is my favorite color. But the blue on the WG sub... yeah. Just not me either.

I really don't understand why they won't use THIS darker blue without gold.

Anyone know if there are any plans to make such a watch?

jason981 · 10 June 2009, 09:35 PM

What do people think about swapping the TT strap off the Blue Sub and replacing with a SS strap ? Can it be done ? Would it look good ?

Ideas and opinions ?

jason981 · 17 June 2009, 09:42 PM

I purchased a TT Blue Sub M from David and it is amazing. I love the Blue colour. I didnt think the TT would look good on me but it is great.

JJ, is the date disc on the TT Sub white or cream colored?

Wear your watch through the metal detector.
