Does the TT submariner have any drawbacks over SS?

I believe the bracelet of the TT SubC lacks the half-link that is standard on the SS SubC. So, for some (especially those with small wrists), it will be more difficult to obtain a proper fit with the TT SubC unless you buy (at extra cost) a TT half-link.

My biggest issue is the price. There are so many nice watches I'd like to add that a 50% premium for a TT over SS cuts into my next watch purchase. However, I'm 45 years old and I don't know why but a TT Rolex for my 50th would be really cool.

Do what I did for my 50th. Go with a full YG blue dial Sub. TT is very nice and I have owned them, but all gold is sublime.

Yes, gold will scratch and dent more easily. But 904L steel isn’t exactly scratch proof. Far from it (especially on PCLs).

Not as bright as SS which is bright shiny white always.
TT needs lots of light or it looks dull.
Much ignorance surrounding the model.
Jealousy from SS wearers (joke).
Wears well with anything but not as practical as SS.
Looks it's best either brand new unmarked or with at least a years use on it...otherwise it just looks like a nice watch with a scratch on it.
Bezel is incorrect blue shade for the dial unless you buy the flat blue dial (pre 2013).

God you're amusing. Incorrect, but very amusing.
