I'm not a fan of either...and not the SubC in general.

HOWEVER...I'd get the 116613!

I just seem to prefer TT with the new case/bezel.

Thevenin · 27 July 2012, 05:13 AM

Ideally 16613

patek.wis · 27 July 2012, 05:16 AM

wish i could pull off TT for that watch man
get the Ceramic

gwozhog · 27 July 2012, 08:54 AM

The hollow links on the 16613 would keep me from buying it. It's to bad you can't source the new bracelet because the blue dial is perfect. The new 116613 is very nice but the new shade of blue looks much nicer on the all white gold sub. That is why I went with the new tt black subc.

blue lion · 27 July 2012, 09:51 AM

I bought the 16613 and love it. I'm sure the improvements to the 116613 would make me like it too. When I got mine appraised the AD told me that it was a desirable watch due to the color change. I do like the old better than the new, like most of you.

nch209 · 27 July 2012, 09:56 AM

116613. I had them both, and the ceramic trumps the older style. I bet a buck if you go with the new style and wear it for a bit you will NOT look back, and you will constantly consider the ceramic if you go with the old style!!!!!!!

RRGHOST1 · 27 July 2012, 10:00 AM

I have the 116613LB and prefer the new blue,but its personal choice really.

77T · 27 July 2012, 10:08 AM

For me, the 16613. Besides liking the better blue, hollow CL's actually keep the price down!

Wacker23 · 27 July 2012, 10:42 AM

When i was younger i didnt like the tt now in my 40s i like it.

alanc · 27 July 2012, 10:34 PM

- they always seem to have a smaller case that fits my 6.8" wrist better, they strike me as classier and the price is lower - win/win/win.

The rule applies here - the blue on the older model is gorgeous; the newer model looks washed-out next to it. The bracelet upgrades aren't enough to change my mind. Finally, the cost savings get me halfway to my next watch...

Of course, to each, his or her own. Try them both on; one will speak to you, unless you simply have to have both. In that case, get the older one, before its price starts to rise as a classic - you can get the new one later.

Andelain · 27 July 2012, 10:41 PM

For me, definitely the old blue. It has an iridescent look that I love. To be the new looks too flat.

mr777 · 19 September 2012, 01:29 PM

I have coveted the 16613 for years and just bought a 2007 "z" TT Bluesy (engraved rehaut) and I absolutely love it. After purchasing I went to my local AD and compared it to the 116613. There's no comparison in my mind. The older version is a lot cleaner and the cobalt blue bezel just can't be matched. Again, my opinion... Good Luck and Happy Hunting!!

ra's ag · 19 September 2012, 02:00 PM

The old Blue looks nicer. But the new one wears larger on the wrist. I like a large watch.

I thought the TT Sub had solid links??

Anyways, I would say go with the 16613, and if you find it to be a bit outdated then go ahead and get the 116613. The "old" blue is one of the most stunning blue dialed watch I have ever seen.

brokenchains · 19 September 2012, 04:13 PM

Old blue is so nice and can be bought preowned for a great price!!

HongNinja · 19 September 2012, 04:37 PM

I have to tell you, I am a true believer these days with the chunkier case and everything. I am also in love with the new bracelet/clasp. Can't say enough about the Glidelock.

I will always be a fan of just about every Rolex out there, but new stuff is legit.

Go for the new one!

crowncollection · 19 September 2012, 07:45 PM

116613 for me

Runnin' Rebel · 19 September 2012, 08:08 PM

I love everything about the 116613

Flies right under the radar

Seriously, this and my 116610LV are sweet

I used Cape Cod on it tonight for a touch up, the first time I used it, worked like a champ.

Mikehii · 19 September 2012, 08:54 PM

I might getting a 116613 for my second watch. Still looking O.O

Or maybe just a 116610

Aah what a Nice watch you got there!!! And with that dial its a little rare ;)!!

Rags · 20 September 2012, 12:29 AM

For me I think the 16613 would be the choice. Now if you could put the glide lock clasp on it it would be perfect.

Htab · 20 September 2012, 01:04 AM

I like the the bigger look of the watch so I went with the 116613 and never looked back.

I know other forum members have dealt with the same decision and I would love some feedback and photos.

116613 is a Amazing watch, I just LOVE it

Thanks, I always wondered how many of these ROLEX has made

Although I doubt they are that rare, I've never seen one here in the Land of Oz, on a wrist

rickyslam · 21 September 2012, 04:14 PM

I think both blue's are really nice. Smurf blue vs Royal blue? It is actually a really tough decision. I'd go with the new blue. It's different and it has greater upgrades. Though the original blue is so comfortable on the wrist. Good luck man. I'd hate to be in your position, but its not a bad position lol.

Check · 21 September 2012, 05:03 PM

For me the 16613 exudes style. The dial is iridescent and it absolutely looks stunning in the sun. The new model is close but is missing a certain je ne sais quoi. It just has soul, style and totally rocks. Whereas the new one does nothing for me, but to each their own.

Go for the one you love. If it has to grow on you, it's the wrong one.

Cheers

The new blue doesn't have the same presence as the old blue in pictures or in person.

+1.

masterserg · 21 November 2012, 02:49 AM

I like the dial of the 16613, but I prefer the 116613 overall package (case, ceramic, bracelet, clasp).
