Ive been considering flipping my newer SubC for a new TT blue SubC. My AD buddy ordered one for me to check out. It came in but I haven't had a chance to see on in the flesh. I'm sure I'll love it.
Would you guys sell your SubC to partially fund a blue TT?

swissautopro · 30 June 2012, 10:56 AM

Unless I was actually going to use the Sub, yes, I would rather have the TT. Tough decision though.

Jibba · 30 June 2012, 10:57 AM

Tough call. I would need both!

roadie1 · 30 June 2012, 11:00 AM

Yes. It would be my daily wearer. I would time decompression times of food on my big Green Egg, parking meters, throwing a ball for my lab, my kids reading and guitars practice, etc. so yes it would be used

TT it is.

I should have been a little more clear about "used" - as a diving watch. TT is fantastic for daily wear. I wore one for quite a while.

mjclark32 · 30 June 2012, 11:07 AM

They're both really awesome. I think it comes down to personality/preference. I'm more of a ss guy, so no I wouldn't (although I have a 16610).

kilyung · 30 June 2012, 11:33 AM

I'm more a gold guy but I'd go steel.

How · 30 June 2012, 12:10 PM

Nope. I'm a man of steel.

I like s.s. for everyday. I like TT or gold for special occasions and going out. But that's just me.

Bangel · 30 June 2012, 01:45 PM

It's all down to personal preference. I would keep my SS.

gwozhog · 30 June 2012, 01:50 PM

SS is going out of style again. TT is gorgeous. Do it.

Yes

Gaijin · 30 June 2012, 05:15 PM

I would do it. I love my TT Blue Sub C.

kctt · 30 June 2012, 05:21 PM

The TT blue dial is awesome. But way too flashy for me as a daily. For me it would only for special occasions.

I say get it if you can see yourself wearing it as a daily.

A.J.R. · 30 June 2012, 05:31 PM

Keep both if possible.

Silvio Mosiello · 30 June 2012, 05:53 PM

Id do TT any day of the week. I like a watch that can be dressed up significantly and worn casually. You cant do that with a SS watch as well IMO. I love the sub c tt diamonf dial. The date wheel is surronded by a gold square too!

This.
Personally, not a fan of TT. But that's just me.

travisb · 30 June 2012, 10:06 PM

If you don't mind the easily marked up gold center links then go for it.
The TT blue is an amazing look.

I do have the TT Blue SubC and its a great looking watch,i would swap to get the TT, I love mine.

dpkong · 1 July 2012, 01:40 AM

i don't have a Sub yet but when i do get one, it will be TT. SS is just so plain...

floater156 · 1 July 2012, 01:49 AM

I'd prefer the TT

mvmbles · 1 July 2012, 01:57 AM

I own both and when I was still wearing the TT (before I decided to list it for sale), the all stainless steel got much more wrist time. I love the TT blue SubC, but buying it opened a can of worms in that it has made me want both the white gold and full yellow gold blue ceramic Subs.

Silvio Mosiello · 1 July 2012, 05:04 AM

Everybody knows its all personal preference but I am sure that is not the answer this gentleman is looking for. Unfortunately, these questions are hard to answer unless you know a good amount about the OP.

jfestrelabr · 1 July 2012, 05:11 AM

SUB C orrrrrrrrrr GMT II C TT , the best TT in new rolex line

SaddleSC · 1 July 2012, 05:14 AM

I love both, but I would never trade the SS for the TT...

TSW · 1 July 2012, 05:18 AM

SS or full gold for me!

Citizenrich · 1 July 2012, 05:26 AM

Long story, boring: my first Rolex was a TT blue sub which I purchased for myself as a graduation present 23 years ago. 5 years later , my wife purchased me a stainless sub as a wedding gift.

I have never received a single "compliment" on the stainless. Conversely, each time I wear the TT, I always receive at least one and usually more than one compliment on the watch.

Lesson of the story: the average person is more impressed by the TT.

Context: I've lived in NYC my entire existence.
