Does this mean that you no longer want the TT Bluesy Sub w/ceramic bezel and Glidelock clasp?
Doesn't that watch have the same features/improvements?
I've seen the new TT Blue Sub up close and personal.........and don't care too much for it. The blue colour is just not right and cannot be compared with the previous Bluesy blue.

I think this new SS Sub will be simply mind-blowingly outstanding!!

JJ,I'm right with you on this one!!!
At least there is still some time to prod away at the new model being released and our interest in a possible aquisition.......
Hopefully we won't both end up in the dog house...

Not a stupid question at all, Paul.......on the contrary, a very good one.

I'm not too sure, but I think the new Sub would have a slightly thicker (in height) case..........but I could be wrong.

Maybe Larry could help us out on this one.

Just tell her some of those damn TOSSERS are starting to have more than yourself.
The last thing that needs to happen is to have a Tosser out do you.



The only reason why I can even own one, is because I don't have a wife. Those darn things cost more than a YG and a WG put together.

JJ: I have nothing against Subs but I've never been a huge fan of them. BUT this new Sub is freakin' awesome! It's understandable that you'd like this watch...millions of others will, too. The iconic Submariner has been modernized but still retains its famous character with even better looks and performance. There's nothing not to like about it and I would imagine it will fly off the dealer's shelves. Let me be the first to congratulate you on your purchase of the new Sub. You may not have one yet but it's obvious that it'll grace your wrist very soon!

Ok...bad off color joke time...


"There was a woman who had to go away for a week, but was worried about leaving her husband alone...so she went searching on the internet and found a Frog that could perform Oral sex...so she ordered it for her husband and was able to go on her trip without worry....


She came back a week later, and found her Husband frantically searching on the internet...

"what are you doing?", she asked...

he looks up, and says...
"AS SOON AS I FIND ONE THAT CAN COOK, YOU'RE GONE!!"


I'm sorry, there's no good reason for that...something about this post just reminded me of that joke...


Not insinuating in any way that JJ is doing anything amoral with his watch...although he does seem very excited about this new glidelock clasp...

I think we're both in the same boat! There's something about the ceramic bezel on this iconic watch. Better call my AD to add me to that list!
