Are planning on flipping your watch for the TT?

Asking for a friend.

In all seriousness, is anybody thinking about adding it so you have a steel and TT version?

watchwatcher · 21 March 2019, 04:42 AM

Wrong sub-forum, sorry!

Mods, can you move this to the general discussion page?

I will not be flipping my SD43 for the TT nor adding the TT. In fact I’m trying to unsee it and erase it from memory.

samson66 · 21 March 2019, 05:16 AM

I'm just going to pretend you didn't ask that....

I just can't bring myself to own a TT SD. For the past 30+ years I have known it to be a SS watch and that is how it's going to remain, as far as I'm concerned.

ckwong · 21 March 2019, 05:19 AM

No way!!!

This.

japenney · 21 March 2019, 05:22 AM

Not sure what all the hate is about. Looks pretty decent to me and a smart move by Rolex essentially creating a larger TT sub. I say bring on the solid gold SD.

Batmannr1 · 21 March 2019, 05:23 AM

when hell freezes over I will swap my SS SD43 for the TT SD43

Thinking I’m an outlier here, but at first blush, I’m liking the look so far. As always, need to see it in the metal.

cbiggs · 21 March 2019, 05:38 AM

Nope.

Are you??

can a gold case withstand the pressure 1200 meters under the sea?

1st amg · 21 March 2019, 06:06 AM

No hate at all for the new one, but I will not sell my SD43 for a two tone. Already have TT and golds, so no real desire.

faz · 21 March 2019, 06:08 AM

I have mixed feelings about the TT SD43, but I just checked the marketing video/material on Rolex.com and it looks good with all the zoom in shots. I will hold judgement until I see it in person.

The price though, around $16k? Wow. The $11k SS SD43 wins on that front in my opinion.

atn_uk · 21 March 2019, 06:09 AM

I’m not hating the new two tone, but no, would not swap or add to my SD43

I'm planning on making a purchase. Love the look. Some just don't have it in them to wear any gold. I think TT done by Rolex is the way to go. Sorry to say it's jewelry. These are not "tools". A little gold is great.

TswaneNguni · 21 March 2019, 06:19 AM

I never judge before actually seeing in in the metal .Expensive though.

Swaye · 21 March 2019, 06:23 AM

The TT is an abomination against all things good and holy.

wytrader · 21 March 2019, 06:32 AM

Just seems unnecessary. TT Black sub appears to be the least popular of the whole Sub range... Why make it a solo model Sea Dweller?

If the come back next year with the full Sub range in SD size including maxi-smurf I'll eat my words. Until then what were they thinking.

Would you have rather seen a :
SD Hulk : yes
SD Bluesy : yes
SD solid Gold : Yes WG or YG
SD solid Platinum : Yes
SD on jubliee: uhhhh close call...

And you never thought a TT sub would cut it? Too small?

Its very very popular out in the wild. Only the small group on TRF keep mentioning things about "tool" watches.

NO modern Rolex is a tool watch. Each and every single one is just jewelry and Rolex knows it thats why they dont give a damn. They are in it to make money and this will sell without any issues.

I agree. and for the difference in price I think most will end up with the TT sub.

jltait · 21 March 2019, 06:36 AM

What about a SD43 Bluesy? Who would be up for that?

bobabreath · 21 March 2019, 06:36 AM

Why did Rolex make this???

zjd168 · 21 March 2019, 06:37 AM

TT to SS? seems like a more legitimate question

kog · 21 March 2019, 06:44 AM

LOL the TT Sub so small.

Rank in order of real world choices (not limited by availability) ie which would people choose to own if all were available at MSRP.

SS Black
SS Green
TT Blue
TT Black
WG Blue
YG Black
YG Blue

If you do not rank the TT Black in the bottom two spots I think you are kidding yourself. But no one knows how many get sold.
