New M Series SeaDweller vs TT Blue Sub

If both watches cost the same...what would be your pick, and why....

New SeaDweller, not the Deep Sea, or the TT Blue Sub?

TT Blue. I love the look of Rolex Gold, the execution of the gold and stainless is outstanding, and the blue dial is the best one in the Rolex sport line to me.

TT sub! I was in your same boat and picked the TT. no regrets and it gives me the perfect excuse to buy a deep sea later! ;)

I would choose the Sea Dweller because I like the simple design and function of this stainless watch.. Oh and my opinion is biased

Same thing here. I prefer Rolex sport's watches in stainless steel.

TT Blue before they change to that "flat" blue.

My answer would depend on what watch(es) you currently have, what you do for a living, your personal style, etc.

I'd buy them both and flip the that one doesn't get the wrist time after a month or two.

Easy for me, SD all the way. I have never been a TT guy and don't see myself ever changing. Then again, never say never.

I can appreciate the TT Blue, but ultimately I'm a little turned off by that many different colors on one watch.

TT Blue without question & I would feel the same even if I didn't already own one.

I've worn a TT Black Sub for a couple of decades...

But I just can't see myself in a Blue one............

I would go for the SD....

My AD has a "transitional" TT blue sub, with the new blue face and bezel, it is certainly not "a flat blue".
But it all doesn't matter, because I'd choose the SD every time.

They are very different in looks. Just depends on your style as function, for most normal folks, is the same for both (i.e. 1,000' vs 4,000').





You should decide what you like. Here are some examples and I hope they help you decide.

I'm not a big fan of the blue tt Sub. Now if it was the black faced tt sub that would be a little harder decision but it would still be the SD without a doubt.

TT Blue Sub for me!
The SD is a great watch but it's just too big & bulky for me.
