Hey guys great news apparently Rolex changed the dial of the blue smurf two tone submariner now its the old school sunburst blue, now which do you guys prefer now? the sunburst blue or black two tone

Howe · 8 August 2013, 01:06 PM

Also guys they will discontinue the smurf colour do you guys think this is going to be collectible? or rare now?

horseco · 8 August 2013, 01:21 PM

I think yellow gold & blue are a natural combination...

Not differentiate the two shades of blue. Can someone explain?
And what is new and what is old?

Say WUT !?!?!

I love my 116613

it's not going anywhere at twice the price

INCOMING TOMORROW by the way

Thanks Howe, but a lot of people on here know already and as far as being collectible...still waiting for someone to give why it wouldn't be. It might take awhile for the market to dictate

Bangel · 8 August 2013, 02:22 PM

Sunburst or not, I still prefer blue over black when it comes to TT subs.

z32turbo · 8 August 2013, 02:50 PM

Blue on the TT over black any day. Sunburst or not I agree with Bangel

Blue on tt, of course.

Mr. K · 8 August 2013, 03:15 PM

New dial is what got me re-interested in the blue TT sub c

It's old news around here. It was revealed at Basel and has been much discussed on this forum. We told you about this in your other thread and now you start this one to report the "news" back to us? Howe, this is your 2nd poll today asking if you should go blue dial or black and you were given a lot of responses already. You're an 18 year old buying a $13K watch and it's sounding like you want a bunch of strangers on the internet to pick it for you. Here's my advice - if you can't make up your own mind then you shouldn't buy a watch until you do.

Sorry if this sounds harsh but that's the best advice I got. I wish you well in your decision.

Wouldn't it be fantastic if there was a way to put in some key words and have the computer give you a list of all the threads about the "new" "dial" "blue" "sunburst" "116613"

Anyone have a pic of the new dial?

ben67 · 8 August 2013, 03:52 PM

I think it (Flat Blue TT) will only become truly collectable if people want it more that what they can buy new or maybe in time.

Just because they are no longer made does not automatically make them collectable or desireable.

Either way I can think of many other things to tie up $14K that will give me a better return than that if that is the only reason you are looking to buy one.

Here's a comparison of the Smurf on the left (that apparently is not getting a dial change) with the new dial on the TT Sub taken by Percy from r-l-x I found in this thread: http://www.rolexforums.com/showthrea...70#post4115870

nickng · 8 August 2013, 04:32 PM

I love the SS Gold Black combination best. Most balanced IMHO.

Gerardus · 8 August 2013, 05:58 PM

Blue Sunburst for me.

What would you suggest Ben?

travisb · 8 August 2013, 06:15 PM

I would take the new and the old blue over the TT black.
Great combo. The new blue even more so.

Yes

Buy all of them, you wil clean up!

And as I answered in the last poll, I would buy neither as I do not like two tone watches

Singslinger · 8 August 2013, 09:48 PM

I think the new blue has the edge.

I agree. Two polls within 24hrs asking basically the same question.

Anyway, I still prefer any blue over black however I like the smurf's flat blue over the new metallic blue.

Survivor · 9 August 2013, 03:00 AM

Although Black would definitely be my choice, going back to the Sunburst Blue is the correct decision by Rolex.

patrike · 9 August 2013, 03:42 AM

Blue sunburst without doubt. Looks great!!! :)

Absolument! Its on my list.

Daytona-Dan · 9 August 2013, 05:38 AM

With all the love for the blue, I'll go against the grain and say that I really don't like the blue/gold combination. Every combination of blue on gold looks off to me with the worst being the blue Arabic Daytona. I would choose the black in this case without any hesitation, in fact, the TT black SubC is actually my favourite TT at the moment.

postalworker · 9 August 2013, 08:09 AM

Black ceramic

Racerdj · 9 August 2013, 09:12 AM

It sounds like the new blue starburst will be well received!

SWISSAHOLICS · 9 August 2013, 09:13 AM

Looking fwd to seeing the sunburst in person....only seen it in pics!
