Its amazing how deceiving pictures can be. I bought the TT Blue Sub last Sept 2013. It has the flat blue face (smurf)..Then Rolex decides to bring back the sunburst dial. At first I was kinda pissed. I saw pics on the internet and though "Wow the sunburst is beautiful"..Then I went to my AD recently and compared the 2 next to each other. In person, the smurf looks better than the sunburst especially with the ceramic bezel. It was strange, the sunburst made the maxi dial look small...

They had an older TT Blue Sub with Aluminum bezel and that looked amazing with sunburst.

To each his own I suppose....

They're both beautiful. I prefer the sunburst in person but can totally see the argument in favor of the flat blue as it matches the ceramic better.

I agree, they both are beautiful....Heres the worst part, while I'm at AD checking out sunburst TT...I wind up buying this...Note to self; Stop going to AD

I like the flat blue better.

If I has the money I'd get a TT 16613 all day long.
That dial s almost hypnotic it's that beautiful

On the new ceramic, I think the flat blue "Smurf" is the way to go. It matches the bezel in all lighting.

With the aluminum bezel, the old sunburst is just beautiful!

locutus49 · 31 May 2014, 06:32 AM

I like them both.

AndyK · 31 May 2014, 06:46 AM

They both look good to me.

Much prefer the 'sunburst' as you people like to call it.

AK797 · 31 May 2014, 06:57 AM

Once you see the sunburst the flat is kind of dull, even if it matches the bezel better.

bparone · 31 May 2014, 07:06 AM

I like them both but also prefer the flats blue dial.

superdog · 31 May 2014, 08:06 AM

I prefer the flat.

thsiao · 31 May 2014, 09:05 AM

I also prefer the flat blue since it matches the bezel almost perfectly. The sunburst just doesn't match the bezel and looks off to me.

KINGROLESAR · 31 May 2014, 09:12 AM

Yes I also prefer the flat.

kilyung · 31 May 2014, 09:13 AM

Depends on the watch. The green sunburst is stunning. The flat blue is deep.

To each his own - or better than that to own each!
