If price was no issue, which would you rather have as your after work/weekend watch, only submariner, and the last watch you could buy for the next 10 years? (Couldn't wear it to work.)

AK797 · 26 February 2018, 11:08 AM

This was my only Rolex for a time and served me admirably.

Daytonaman799 · 26 February 2018, 11:09 AM

I a HUGE fan and former owner of the last of the non ceramic bluesy and it was really fabulous.

Al1969 · 26 February 2018, 11:15 AM

Do we really need a poll for this? PM, no doubt!

rebel_1 · 26 February 2018, 11:22 AM

PM. No question. But I prefer the flat blue.

lucevan le stelle · 26 February 2018, 11:46 AM

I may be wrong, but I think the vote on this is a foregone conclusion. YG.

DHISTORY · 26 February 2018, 11:50 AM

Trick question right?

I’d go with all gold in a heartbeat, but with having small kids and all,
TT is as far as I can take it conservatively.

TT is more appropriate for work environment, in my experience

air993 · 26 February 2018, 12:01 PM

Full gold ALL day long

roadie1 · 26 February 2018, 12:36 PM

Tt is enough flash for me. If I’m going to spend $$ I’ll go with pt or wg. No one to impress but myself.

Bigblu10 · 26 February 2018, 12:38 PM

Full yellow gold. No doubts. It is actually more subtle than TT.

G.D.BeanCounter · 26 February 2018, 12:47 PM

I have owned the Bluesy twice, one 5 digit that I regretted flipping and reincarnated with a 6 digit ceramic... which I recently let go for a new acquisition. However, if I return again to the world of the Blue Sub, it will be Full YG... so that's my vote!

How do you figure?

donut · 26 February 2018, 01:20 PM

Full YG for sure if price wasn’t an issue.

Maiden · 26 February 2018, 10:31 PM

I voted Bluesy as I have a DD as my PM piece. Can't go wrong either way though!

TacticaLCawacoL · 26 February 2018, 10:48 PM

I bought the 116618LB last year. If i had to do it again i would buy the pré-ceramic version.

I have the YG, but man, I sure do miss my two tone.

Never got TT, the cleaner the better.

adlerburg · 26 February 2018, 11:36 PM

GOLD... unmiscegenated... unabashed.. GOLD (and blue of course)! This is my all time grail watch since my right of passage into manhood. I'm well into the 2nd half and still waiting to seize the opportunity to call one mine. It's not as easy a jump as Steel to Bluesy, which was only a few more shekels. Bluesy to all gold, close to double! But one day.. one day.
Until then, I love my Bluesy as it is a grail (for me) in it's own right! And it's also IMHO more versatile... Anyway, long story shortened.. Vote ALL gold.

jmlow17@gmail.com · 26 February 2018, 11:54 PM

All gold sub is heavy and a pure ad for conspicuos consumption. You won't wear it often because of that. Instead you will sit at home admiring your "precious". TT Bluesy is simply great looking and a watch you will want to wear.

SpyShopsNYC · 27 February 2018, 12:06 AM

Been in our family since 1984, 16808 and only serviced once in 1990. Last year I inherited it and I had the bezel insert changed last year. I kept the very good condition original flat four insert as well.

Used to have the TT Bluesy. If I would buy a Sub with a blue face I will definitely go for the full YG version. It's totally different, in a good way I mean!

HK Islandboy · 27 February 2018, 12:56 AM

Yg!

kilyung · 27 February 2018, 08:49 AM

YG for me

Kiddodoc · 27 February 2018, 10:27 AM

Would have to go with all gold too! Pretty blingy watch!

I actually agree with this. I wanted a full gold watch and after trying them on side by side, I actually found the TT to pop more. The contrast seems to do it.

This is also just my hypothesis, but we are so used to seeing full gold plated watches (Michael Kohrs etc) that at first glance, another full gold looking watch may just be assumed to be as such from the general public. The Bluesy seems to be iconic Rolex, so just seems to bling out more.

Also just my opinion.
