Adding a little to what Mailman said: BOTH are better looking in person, that platinum dial is absolutely fantastic under bright light! However, my vote goes to Bluesy, he's definitely got the edge. The most gorgeous watch dial I've ever seen, and JJ, your photos come very, very close to conveying its beauty. Richard's shot captures the SS/18K bling 'n blue as well! Here's my first try (Rawhyde's watch), the lighting is difficult to get just right, but some of the dial's pattern got through.

I voted for the YM. Being color blind I like the monochromatic aspects of the YM. And the platinum bezel is a big plus.
Blusey is a great example of Rolex and would be nice to have in any collection but a bit too blingy for everyday. Just MHO.

Both are beautiful watches, JJ. Now if they would just make them 36 MM you'd have something!

The TT Bluesy should vs w/ TT GMT II C.

OR TT RG TOG black dial w/ jubilee can compete right up w/ TT Bluesy on the condition that Sub owners are not allowed to vote.

Gorgeous pictures and I almost bought the TT Bluesy because of your picture.

Take care.

Thanks for your comments, my friend....but I really wouldn't call the comparison unfair. Both watches are made of NOBLE metals....and both sporty as well as dressy in their own respective rights.....so I felt the comparison was justified!!

Cheers - JJ

I think it's fair, if not by price alone. TT Sub 7950.00 compared to Plat/SS Yachtmaster at 8350.00.

There both sport watches, and I know when I was looking for my TT/Blue, the Plat/SS Yachtmaster was one of the SPORT models I was comparing it to.

No you're not Karis. I like it, but it's just too blue for my tastes.

I voted neither 'cause I'm partial to 4 hands. But they're both pretty sweet.
