Incoming!!!!

So my AD for over 20 years pulled a couple pieces in for me to consider and WOW! I mean photos really don't do this piece justice....it truly is an amazing site to be seen and so glad I added this to the collection. I never would have thought in the years of collecting that I'd own a TT, but she is a beauty! Cheers to you JJ, I finally got my Bluesy! Miss you bud!

Kurt many congrats!

I think it was JJ who came up with the name ‘bluesy’...and it’s one reference I associate with him. I’m sure he will be flashing his big smile...

Congratulations. A beautiful watch. I feel the same way about TT watches but I own a Blusey. Which says it all. Like the Hulk, possibly more so, it is difficult to photograph and convey the shimmering, 3D, multi faceted look of this watch until you see one.

Love it, but I have some advice for you with it: I loved that watch, was my fave of all my Rolex, but then I made the mistake of putting on the all Gold Bluesy at my AD. Couldn't get it out of my head. Bought it and sold that one.

Of all the References I have seen in the 'wild', I still recall the day I first saw that watch. A Delta Captain wearing his came out of the flight-deck to say hello. I couldn't take my eyes off of his wrist. I can't tell you of any other time I noted a Rolex in public and remembered it. Just spectacular on the wrist, and it looks no different in your picture.

Should I make up “Bluesy to Blacksy” for my DSSD D-Blue?
