I doubt I'm alone in this thinking, maybe I am? Currently I wear a W serial TT Sub, love the watch, not the TT thing. I have found myself wearing my Bond on more than one occasion as I find the TT has way to much flash. So here I am, wanting to trade down to what I feel is the more classic Rolex Submariner, stainless.

Usually its the other way around, most want to trade up. My dilemma is, those who I know who also love watches will cast their eyes down in shame for even knowing me, a TT to SS convert, bestow upon me words of wisdom, or better yet, let me know I am not alone?

My own bride feels I have lost my mind, its already a losing battle.

Dude, I'm with you 100%. I'm not a TT man and I'd move to a full on SS in a heartbeat. TT works for some, some think it works for them (when it doesn't) and some realize it ain't for them afterall. Do you YOU want and you'll always be happy!

You are not at all alone, mate. I am definitely not a fan of TT sport watches. As most people here know, my favorite sport watch is the all black SS GMT-II. The all black SS Sub isn't bad (it just lacks the red 24 hour hand of the GMT).

Now a dress watch is a color of a different horse altogether. I have two TT Roman dial DJs which I think are gorgeous. They YG on them adds just the right amount of bling to a dress watch.

Don't listen to Dman... he took a huge step down by trading his SD for a measly little PAM27C. ROTFLMFCAO!

You are right Earl, you don't have to be, but it sure seems to help.

I like a little flash. Keeps people's eyes diverted from my ripped jeans and t-shirt.

Excellent choice! Had I a TT sub, it wouldn't last a week. I'd sell it off, buy a SS sub and bank the rest for my next SS purchase. GO FOR IT!

Rodentman · 13 October 2005, 09:28 AM

I had a TT black sub and didn't care for it. At first I thought it was really nice, but soon found the gold to be too susceptible to scratching and I had to be so careful with the watch that it wasn't much fun. I ended up with an LV and an SD soon after that. Even had an SS Daytona in the mix but I found that wanting one was more intriguing than owning one, and it also went.

I don't miss it, frankly. But I love the SD and the LV. I satisfy my dressy Rolex need with the TT 17013 OQ with the fully brushed integral bracelet. I find that its design lends itself to TT better than the sport models. Just one rodent's opinion.

Gedanken · 13 October 2005, 06:50 PM

Truth be told, I see a TT Daytona in my future, but that's mainly because the SS is way overpriced. My SD would not go with as much of my wardrobe if it was TT - SS is just the right amount of stealth bling!

Earl · 13 October 2005, 07:41 PM

Good point you have Kromax! It's like wearing contacts because you have no ears j/k LoL
