Now that's why this baby has the WOW Factor!!

Hi guys,

I firmly believe that the first thing that's gotta come out of your mouth when you see a watch is just the one word: WOW!!!

If you can honestly look at a watch and say that...then buy it!!! The TT Blue Sub does just that for me.....and more.....and here are some reasons why I go WOW when I look at this beauty!!!

JJ,
so now that your TT is back on "prime time" is your SD in the deep abyss?
Sometimes when not wearing a particular watch and then bringing it out, it takes on a new feeling which can make you say "WOW".

Great shots as always JJ. Your photos are always vivid.

The gold on the TT is very nice! Wear it in good health as always.

I saw real Rolexes on wrists of rich people but I had NEVER seen a blue TT sub on somebody's wrist I just saw it at shop, THE FIRST POINT IS: Even you know nothing about Rolex or watches, when you see the yellow color of gold and shining blue of dial and rotation system combined with yellow golden teeth and also the illuminated point ar rotation, you see the beauty that just blue TT has this beauty. Praying GOD being patient and collecting money little by little is the only thing I can do now.

JJ,I cant see a scratch,anywhere .... Do you wear it or just take pictures of it ? I have some fine scrtaches/scuffs on the gold on the clasp area of the bracelet,from normal wear.
Perhaps you should post a picture of a scratch/scuff,as proof that you do wear it ...

Yes, but don't try it yourself. Take it into an AD and he will do it for you in a matter of minutes. He has the right tools and knows how to go about it.

I'm very careful, Chris....very, very careful. But I'll see if I can find a few and post some pics when I can.

Thank you, and if Im looking for a used Rolex is it possible to understand that if it has been in service before for scratch removal or not?

If it's a used Rolex and if it has been recently serviced, then the seller should give you the Service Receipt which has a date on it.

It is normal practice for any Service Centre to give a fresh ONE year warranty on a serviced Rolex starting from the actual date of completion of service.

JJ, excellent pics as usual.

The Blue in the TT sub is indeed striking. But I have to be loyal to my "root beer" TT GMT II ??

Better not have any jealousy set in, otherwise I will be in trouble again.

Superb photos JJ.
One of my co-workers has a TT Sub. I only see him every six weeks - he's on shift, I'm not. Every time I see his watch, I think of you.
I hope your employment issues have been resolved.
Your posts and photos are a hallmark of this delightful forum.

I don't see any smiley at the end of your post, so I guess that's a kinda serious question.

Well, anything YELLOW you see on a Rolex is 18 K (750) gold for sure. The day Rolex starts plating their watches, I'll kill myself!!

Even the gold that runs across the clasp is actually 18 K gold FUSED by a complex process with the steel below. It's NOT plating. Is is actual gold fused with the steel.

Beautiful TT sub and GMT. I'm saving to get a nice TT but haven't decided on which one to get. Thinking of Daytona, Sub or GMT. Looking at all the great pictures posted in this forum and learning from the comments posted. Ahhh the sublime joy of indecision...
