Just interested to hear your opinions on what type of people/demographic pay most attention to your particular model?

For me, my TT Blue Sub gets most attention from SS Sub owners of any age - particularly my Italian work colleagues when we meet (mostly SS Sub owners)...oh how it makes me smile inside everytime I catch them having a sneaky peek when they think I am not looking...you can read it on their faces "me wisha boughta two tona".

This is not as I am keen to show off as I only own one Rolex which I bought for me and no one else but I think it is interesting as it would give a good indication as to where each model fits into the market and where it is most desired.

An 18k Gold sport 40mm Rolex will not leave you unnoticed.

hmm, and that implies what in this economy? walking down the street armed to the teeth?

interesting I have never thought of a particular model fitting into a certain group. I suppose if people have bought as a status symbol it might make sense most people never notice what I am wearing

chu88y · 26 June 2009, 09:55 PM

yes I agree a little bit of 18k and all eyes are on you.

rolexgiants · 26 June 2009, 09:57 PM

its funny.. in manhattan i never see a tt rolex sub in the wild... i do see a lot of tt datejust.

JPersat · 26 June 2009, 10:41 PM

Down here in south Texas, in all the years I have been wearing Rolex, I have only noticed twice where someone was checking out my watch.

No doubt that the TT is more flashy/attention getting. Too much so for me, I am all SS.

drtooth73 · 26 June 2009, 11:17 PM

my TT Sub gets noticed a lot. Maybe because I roll the sleeves up?

rogerrabbit168 · 26 June 2009, 11:38 PM

every since I join this forum, all i do is notice other people's watch, seen quite a few really nice pieces

yeah, tt get notice pretty fast

Couldn't agree more. Everywhere I go, I just glance a people's wrist to see what they are wearing. Thanks to this forum, i'm getting much better at identifying

zak98 · 26 June 2009, 11:57 PM

my wife and i were "checking out" with the finance guys at the local bmw dealership (we found a low mileage, 2007 Z4) i noticed he was wearing a TT sub, black dial. i had on my GMTII pepsi. as we were walking through service area i noticed 2 more SS subs.. one no date, and one date.

our sales person, she was wearing a ladys tag heuer aquaracer.

so i do not know if i notice TT more or not. but it definately catches the eye over just SS.

Saladin · 27 June 2009, 12:06 AM

I am an SS guy. TTs are no doubt very eye-catching, regardless of brand.

sea-dweller · 27 June 2009, 01:27 AM

I have 6 SS Rolexes and a TT blue Sub. By far, the TT Sub and SD get noticed the most.

Gold Crown · 27 June 2009, 01:32 AM

At work, I mostly see SS Subs on the "30 somethings" wrists. I really feel that the blue face TT sub is one of Rolex's better looking watches in the top 3 for sure. I own these two and I really don't think anything says "Rolex" better than these two!

Z-Sub · 27 June 2009, 03:52 AM

Interesting, I've seen just about as many TT bluesies in the wild as i have seen regular SS subs. Only once I saw an LV Green sub, once a SD4000 and twice black SS daytona

You have two great watches there!

If it's attention you are seeking for your watch, I refer you to the "Ugliest GMT" thread. If this watch doesn't get you noticed, there must be a visual impairment operating.

JJ Irani · 27 June 2009, 05:29 AM

WOW!! Time to take Bluesy out of hibernation and slap it on for the weekend and the rest of the week as well!!

Watchdog · 27 June 2009, 06:22 AM

My SS GMTIIC never got noticed.

My TT GMTIIC gets noticed all the time.

I think it's the gold, of course, but--and I know it's not true measurement wise--the TT in this model and IMHO most models APPEARS much bigger than the SS counterpart.

Many of my friends have agreed. A few have told me I'm an idiot.

thatguitarplace · 27 June 2009, 08:33 AM

what about pcl ?
my gmt ss gets a lot of attention
especially from the ladies!

Voltaire · 27 June 2009, 09:16 AM

I have the TT Sub with the blue face and it gets noticed fairly regularly. I think it gets noticed because of the gold and the blue face.
