Thank you again.

You guys rock!
Good luck, hope he digs it. I was just going to chime in and say the black dial is much less common than the blue, but then again there must be a reason the blue is so much more popular

I prefer the black, by some margin. I'm sure he'll be happy with the blue though!

Many like and recommend the blue. I love my Black TT and it really looks nice and classy. Pl let us know what you choose for the lucky guy. Whatever you choose is going to be OK.

The BLUE is very catchy for the TT, but SS BLACK is for the TOOL watch

CONGRATS

If buying the watch just on looks it would be the blue dial because for the black dial two tone I like the GMT more than the Sub.

dear all, i am super excited! i went to the boutique just now and made the payment for BLUESY! I will collect the watch together with my husband tomorrow. I will use an excuse (that i need to adjust my bracelet) to take him along to the boutique tomorrow. The Manager has promised to wrap it as a gift. He can unwrap his early birthday gift tomorrow and get the bracelet adjusted right away. I will come back with wrist shot tomorrow. Stay tuned

You wont regret it. Trust me especially if its coming from a guy who purchased a Black TT 2 week ago and traded it in for a Blue TT.

At first i thought the Black TT looks nice and will suit me better. Yes no doubt it looks like but after i got my hands on a perfect condition Blue 16613 its like love at first sight.

after i purchased the black TT all my friends was like "hey why didnt you get the blue". I did lots of research online about black vs blue and found that blue is much more popular and highly sought after.

Anyway i traded it in for a blue. Top up a decent amount of cash to my AD , making a huge loss but camon, who says money cant buy happiness? Looking at how beautiful the watch is on my wrist and getting great compliments from friends and family, worth every penny!

Thank you for sharing your experience. I agree, the blue is unique, one of a kind. The black is a beautiful watch too but its more 'normal looking' in my opinion. And we can always get a SS in Black later LOL
I cant wait to see my husband's reaction tomorrow! I will post pictures :)

Do you have a picture with rubber strap? where can we buy the rubber strap? Do you have to change the strap yourself or can the boutique do it? Thank you.

The Sub TT with the blue sunburst dial would be my choice. If you are leaning towards a black dial TT I would look at the GMT II. You already have a dive watch.
