The TT Submariner for me. I am a fan of the SD43 but the TT does not do it for me the same way as a SS or PM version should they choose to make one.

Bluesy all the way.

More than the “approval” of the forum or follow the bias for my choice, this is the kind of input that I am looking for... thank you.

I have to say too, that the “second hand car salesman” it wasn’t necessary. It sounds contemptuous and disrespectful.

The SD43 for me:

1) New movement with 70hrs power reserve.
2) Beautiful matte/glossy dial with gold SeaDweller.
3) Better proportioned case and bracelet.
4) Full graduated bezel and better made pip.
5) Better legibility.
6) More big watch (This depend on your wrist size.
7) Is a new model.

Sea-Dweller is a far better watch in all aspects , and in my opinion 'cooler'

End of the day, buy what you want

It’s all a matter of preference, as for me I prefer the TT SD and I own both. Hope you figure it out or if you can just buy both.

Hmmmm..... bluesy... but if they had that model sea dweller there and then (and no bluesy) I'd quite happily take it

Bagman · 2 March 2020, 06:08 AM

Bluesy for me

ilovethiscity · 2 March 2020, 06:12 AM

As the colours are so different I think that’s more the choice to make. If it was a TT black Sub or a TT SD then I’d say The SD was a no brainer! However if you’re looking for a splash of colour in your life it has to be a bluesy :)

I prefer the SS SD43 to the SS Sub by far.

Problem is I'm not a fan of black and gold colour combination. So I'd have to pick the Bluesy and make do with the supercase I don't particularly enjoy.

The one piece that would make me happy is a SD43 Bluesy. That could be a grail if Rolex were to make it.

Saw one yesterday while I was wearing my bluesy. The guy stopped me, had me take it off and try it on. I could see the frustration he had in his once he had the sunburst dial on. The black and gold is too serious for me. Needs more life

Have you tried one on yet?

I have and liked it better than I thought I would.

I don’t own one, but would not hesitate if in the market.

I don’t sell used cars thanks very much.

I also found the joke inappropriate. The car salesman must be really successful to afford buying a TT sub, which is more expensive in SRP than SS models in general.

Both!

spersky · 5 March 2020, 09:51 PM

There where both at my AD last weekend. I bought the Bluesy over the TT SD and the all gold Blue Sub. Those where my 3 choices. The Bluesy was by far the best looking on my wrist.

Had I known I had to be a used car salesman to buy the Bluesy, I might have picked differently. I hope my AD does not lose his Rolex dealership for selling a bluesy to a non used car salesman.

And here I thought I could be an attorney and own one. Need to return mine right away so I can get my “serious professional” SS model. Of course, maybe I’m in the wrong industry if there are so many used car salesmen running around with 15k Rolexes.
