I think the fact that you've tried both on in person is a good step in the right direction. Take your time to decide. Over time, one will stick in your mind more than the other. Both the DSSD and the sub are nice watches. In terms of the TT, if you don't like it and aren't wearing it much, I would unload it. Get something you like and will be excited to wear.

Unless you're referring to the gold in the recessed minute indicators, I think you need to have your eyes checked.

The ONLY part of the watch that still looks like it did the day I bought it is the bezel.















And to answer OP's question, just do it! None of those watches are rare, so unless there is some sentimental value attached they are all easily replaced if you change your mind.

If the watch isn't getting much wrist time, say goodbye to it, and go with the piece that sings. This, however, is actually somewhat of a complicated matter since three watches are involved. It's possible that the more difficult decision won't be whether to flip the TT, but whether you should choose the ceramic Sub or the DSSD.

I recently sold my 16610, initially to buy either a white 1680 or a 5513. As I was trying to source a good example that was within my price range, an AD offered me a fantastic discount on a brand new 14060M COSC. So I bought it. I've spent the last several days mired in confusion as to whether or not I should flip it for one of the vintage Subs. To make a long, excruciating story short, I have decided to keep the 14060M. But it was a struggle to come to this decision. In comparison, it was easy to sell my old 16610 (actually it was not that old), and I don't imagine I'll miss it at all.

If you're not attached to the TT Sub, why not begin to ask yourself whether you'd be happier with the ceramic Sub or the DSSD, as it sounds like these pieces are calling to you?

I would definitely do it - but tough call- i have both - both DSSD and ceramic sub are amazing watches and the new sub is a big improvement over the older 16613/16610 models- given the versatility of the DSSD (goes great with dress and fits under cuffs easily) I would try the DSSD but you can't dog wrong with either

If you like the size of the DSSD I say get it. I love it however it is not a daily wearer... I have not had any noticeable issues with the size and like anything else you get used to it... Good luck and let us know what you do

Ceramic bezels are very difficult to scratch, so don't worry about that. Of the options you have discussed, I'd go for the SubC.
