The Side by side by side shots - (Ceramic content)

Hello kids...Well I Guess I just couldn't resist the draw of the Ceramic..

May I proudly present my new pride and Joy...



I have to say that this is a very sweet watch...
I also thought that some of you might be interested in some comparison shots

Here it is next to the GMTc and a classic z-serial Blue...




















Honestly I predict that the new SS sub craze will fizzle out soon...

The Ceramics really aren't that strikingly different than the classics..
a SS sub and a SS sub-c really don't have many distinctive differences...especially if it's an LV with black insert...

I think that many people would find it hard to justify the price difference.

However, owning a Black TT sub and a Blue TT sub is totally justifiable!...

Stunning watches my friend - Rolex number two for me will be TT and ceramic for sure. You've made the wheels start turning for me lol

Great collection - thanks for the comparisons!

Y'know what ... I take it all back.

After a full day of wearing this new sub...I have to say that I am completely smitten..
the upgrade goes well beyond a dial and bezel..
this just sits up on the wrist more, the bezel sparles, the dial readability and the AR on the cyclops...it is all a kinetic interplay of features that really create an experience completely different from wearing a 16613 or a GMTc..

and those solis centre links really add to the heft...something I really appreciate...
I don't want to forget that I have this watch on my wrist, I want a reminder everytime I move my arm!

I have to say that as much as I love my new watch, and as much as I'm sure it'll be a wrist hog for the next week...

It really has made me appreciate the GMTc more!

To think that so many people are/were waiting for the SS sub-c when they could've had the GMTc the whole while!!

It has the case, the dial, the heft, and it has the 4th hand and the PCL...it certainly is an instant classic!

I think it will withstand the initial Subc frenzy and maintain its place as one of the best Rolex's ever designed...


Having said that, only a Submariner is a Submariner....and there's a reason I have Two!!

Awesome watches. I think the Blue TT sub is my favorite of the three to be honest. That watch is stunning with that blue dial.

Having said that, the TT black sub is really great looking too.

Now you need a Deep Sea to round out the collection!

Great shots of nice watches.

Every time I look at similar pictures, I feel the strength of the new maxi case. It is simply more present and still grows on me every day!

Regards
Tom

Congratulations....I love that watch!!!
The only thing that stoped me getting it was I already had the TT GMTIIc and they looked to similar......
Great choice!
