I like it, just a tiny touch of yellow gold and it gives the sub a whole new cool vibe. Nice.

Its stunning with the SS bracelet. I dont really like the TT bracelet. I would buy one of these if I didnt have an LV on order.

I actually really like that subdued TT look. I am doing my best to resist going for a TT model Rolex for my 2nd watch but this does make it even that much more difficult.

I like that! It has a crisp look, but not too much gold. Nice one!

Careful Larry, soon you will be posting how much you love the 16613 TT blue Sub in that same configuration!

Nice. That will help to tone down the blings for those who are fearful of it. Any price guide for the SS bracelet?. How about a see thru rear crystal? Anyone can guide me to the source?

Cool different combo. I'm not a TT fan, for myself... but I think it's interesting too look at how the gold pops off the SS background. :)

Hey Larry, i would love one of those.
Was that just a test, or are you having it that way for now?

Good job!

Good job!
The gold link bracelet is quite a bit more fragile than the SS bracelet. This watch is 7-8 years old and the inner gold links are showing wear.. I have SS bracelets that are twice as old and not showing any wear...

I think that this is a good look and, just like wearing a leather strap or NATO, can extend the life of the considerably more expensive TT bracelet for special ocassions........

Right now, I'm wearing it like this............

I'm a strict SS guy too but that combo sure looks good. It's nice to be different too, so enjoy wearing it Larry.
