Well 5-6 years ago I walked in to your local AD (in Roswell) and got a 10% discount on old blue.

Nowadays still no inventory and no AD in the area ever texts/calls.

In my experience much easier to get, had it 3 times and took a few weeks.

Got mine in 6 or so weeks from local AD with no "relationship building" purchases.

TT Submariner Question

Just a guess but I’d say:

1. LV
2. Sub Date LN
3. Bluesy
4. Sub LN
5. TT LN

I think OP might be asking about popularity and not necessarily difficulty to acquire at the AD.

I'd say the TT LB and the steel LN are easily the most popular. I've seen quite a few of those in the wild. I see way less LV's, no dates, and TT LN's.

TT Bluesy is the best Twin Tone period.

I just absolutely love this watch.

I got it last October. Can’t remember how long I waited. I wanted this and a minty green DJ41 and got both relatively quickly (for Rolex standards).

I'm waiting for a mint DJ too, looks fab.

The Bluesy is pure awesomeness.

That’s great, you’ll love it next to the Bluesy. It’s a great duo.

I like it more than the regular SS version.
The latest is the prettiest imho because of the white print instead of the gold colored

And you can even change up the look if you wish to make it a little more sporty looking...

TT Submariner Question

I like TT more then SS Sub’s. That’s why I sold my 116610LN and kept my Bluesy.
At the end of the day one Submariner is enough for me.

Beautiful! I like the LN equally as the LB.

Thanks, all. I'll see if I can get a Blusy from my AD. I've purchased many Rolex watches there with the longest wait, one year, for my whiteface Daytona.
