What makes the TT Sub so beautiful??

I am trying to think about what it is that attracts me to the TT sub. I currently have a SS GMT IIC that is wonderful, but that TT sub is still calling out to me. Is it the color combination of Gold and Blue or the way it is manufactured? I just don't understand. It could be just me, but, with no disrespect to other members, I think this is about the most gorgeous watch out there now. I have hesitated to pull the trigger, because the GMTIIC had so much technical improvements over the sub, but.......it still is VERY nice!!!

For me, a big part of it is the depth of the blue dial. The dial is really amazing when you get it in the sunlight.

The TT Sub is one of the best Rolexes, maybe even the best, in my oppinion. Maybe a maxi dial would be nice but otherwise it's just about perfect. It may not be the latest and greatest, but to me it's the most classy looking Rolex out there.

If I am going to add any watch to my already extensive collection of 16 Rolex watches, the Bluesy is #1 on the list. And I want one that doesn't have the engraved rehaut.
Classic and clean.
Bubba, your rotated view picture is spot on!!!!

It's gotta be that stunning BLUE dial - no other manufacturer in the world can come anywhere even close to this hue of blue.

Funny thing is, there are 2 TT Subs out there, but almost everyone only focuses on the blue dial version and not the black But yes, I agree with others before me that the shade of blue is gorgeous and certainly catches the eye when combined with the yellow gold..

If you like the color blue, you love the Bluesy.

I have an 18kt one, but think the TT Bluesy ads help reveal the steel and blue contrast which also adds to the looks of that model. The TT Bluesy is probably their best looking sport watch.

I think it is not only the blue - but the way that shade of blue works with the gold. Very beautiful.

As already said, the depth of the blue dial and the way it compliments the gold. Haven't worn mine in quite some time but I think I'll break her out of the safe for some fresh air after reading this.
