I have had a TT Sub with black dial since Feb and was admiring the SS. Both are have Ceramic bezels but there is a significant difference in price. Especially since the last price increase. My AD says I should keep the TT, what do you think I should do. Please advise!

Rolex Junky · 8 October 2011, 10:58 PM

Keep them both. But if you must flip the tt.

travisb · 8 October 2011, 11:02 PM

The TT is very nice but I always go for SS when it comes to Rolex sport models (with the exception of my 18k GMTC).
I like the clean sporty look of SS.

EchoBlueUK · 9 October 2011, 01:20 AM

get and keep both.

Rollie2011 · 9 October 2011, 01:23 AM

For me personally, I dont see the need to have a SS black Sub when you have a TT black Sub. I would opt for something like the LV

MY-WATCH · 9 October 2011, 01:46 AM

Keep both if u can

sleddog · 9 October 2011, 01:50 AM

Keep the TT.
If you're planing on a trade to SS, you will take a substantial hit.
Save for the SS if it's something you like. Nothing wrong with having both!

Darlinboy · 9 October 2011, 01:51 AM

Keep both if you like them. The TT will give you a beating on a sale/Trade - they don not typically hold valoue as well a SS in the pre-loved market.

Art 1 · 9 October 2011, 02:03 AM

Tt.

otree-1 · 9 October 2011, 08:23 AM

Thanks, I will keep the TT and save for the SS.

7sins · 9 October 2011, 08:38 AM

ceramic = SS
non-ceramic = TT

LOVE my tt serti, wouldnt trade it for the world...

ersnyder · 9 October 2011, 08:43 AM

Save up for the SS and keep the TT IMO.

Deyn Man · 9 October 2011, 02:02 PM

flip the TT sub and get the SS sub AND a TT GMTIIC!

personally, i like the TT on GMTIIC (something to do with the PCLs on the GMTIIC SS model).
but that's just me!

i'm bonkers by the way!

MortgageGuy · 9 October 2011, 02:06 PM

Get whichever you want. As you already have the TT, will you just want it back if you get the SS

This is the question I would ask yourself. If the answer is no then I would get the SS and this would be my preference in the Sub. You will take a hit on the TT though

drahthaar · 9 October 2011, 02:53 PM

ss sub is my vote. The TT's in my opinion aren't as timeless of a design. When I look at a TT from ten years ago it looks like is a decade old vs the ss just keep looking modern and current regardless of the trend or fad of the moment......just my novice opinion.

That's a really nice dial

Runnin' Rebel · 9 October 2011, 03:06 PM

I agree, keep the TT and save for the SS. Both are beautiful in different ways. But hurry up cause we want to see pics of your new watch. We can't just wait around here waitin for you to do it. GET ON IT, PRONTO, TONTO

EDIT: get the 116610LV if you can, it's sweet !

jrpippen · 9 October 2011, 08:51 PM

Hi from a newbie!

I like the TT, but the bling does make me feel a bit self conscious. Hence my recent decision to sell. Also i find myself giving a bit of thought to denting one of the centre links which would be a nightmare.

Great looking watch though, and ive enjoyed owning her.

GMT 2 16710 is staying though. I like the thinner profile, and the steel is a less

look IMHO.

Runnin' Rebel · 9 October 2011, 09:14 PM

It's a classic, love it

dddrees · 9 October 2011, 09:27 PM

Get the one you want. Just remember a couple of months ago you wanted the TT and now if you flip it it will cost you.

Time2time · 9 October 2011, 10:21 PM

Keep the TT.

I got the SS only because it's my daily wearer but would love the TT as a
dress watch.

If you really want the SS, save up and get one.

otree-1 · 9 October 2011, 10:33 PM

Thanks again guys, it is sometimes hard to function when you've been bitten by the bug. I guess I will take my medicine and continue to save for the SS Sub. I have the TT Sub, SS Day Date Tag Heuer Aquaracer, Panerai 104 and a Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean Chronograph. They will have to keep me calm until I save enough for the SS Sub. I can't say that I have a favorite one because the TT Sub and The Panerai share the most wrist time; however, when its game time, the Sub always gets the nod.

watchf · 9 October 2011, 11:13 PM

TBH if it was the TT blue subc and you want a SS subc I would say keep the TT and save for the SS but you have the black TT subc which imho isn't quite different from the SS subc (other than the YG of course!).

I've owned every watch you listed above except the Aquaracer, and many, many more, and the watch I've been wearing for a year is my TT Submariner C black dial. I wore a TT GMT for 22 years, and find the look timeless. Whatever else you do, keep your TT IMHO.

salo75 · 10 October 2011, 02:39 PM

Love my TT. It's my favorite of all time. Keep your TT Sub C.

Salud!
