Nice!

thlax · 14 June 2015, 01:01 PM

Good choice. I dislike the sunburst and love the flat dial that's on my smurf.

watchwatcher · 14 June 2015, 01:02 PM

It's whatever you like that counts...I love the sunburst, but to each his own. Congrats!

JRT · 14 June 2015, 04:18 PM

Congrats! It is stunning.

Cru Jones · 14 June 2015, 04:30 PM

Congrats! Looking good.

Tebow15 · 14 June 2015, 04:37 PM

Sunburst is definitely more popular bc that is what the dial of the original 16613 was, but I personally found it to be a little too dark for me and now prefer the consistent blue of the 116613 smurf. Unfortunately, it cost me $$$ to swap.

kelvin0978 · 14 June 2015, 04:46 PM

Stunning,congrats!

timeisfathaoftruth · 14 June 2015, 04:52 PM

Are you able to post side by side shots of the flat blue and sunburst blue dials under similar lighting conditions? As mentioned earlier, I like both but prefer the flat blue dial. Thanks for sharing your photos!

I don't know if I like it better or not but I sure like it a lot; it's a beauty for certain.

Gaijin · 14 June 2015, 05:08 PM

Big Smurph Blue fan here. Loved the Sunburst on the older TT Subs. In fact I owned one. But on the ceramic just love the bezel match up with the Smurph. Great watch you have there!

Don't get me wrong. The sunburst is beautiful and it seems that about 80% or so of us prefer it over the discontinued smurf dial, but the inconsistency of the blue color turned me off and now am happier with the always blue smurf w serti diamonds.

RRGHOST1 · 14 June 2015, 07:30 PM

I have always liked the flat blue better and wondered why they changed really.

JRolex · 14 June 2015, 08:07 PM

When they're so close, it's such a difference!

Andad · 14 June 2015, 09:53 PM

I like the flat dial - but for me - hold the diamonds.

travisb · 14 June 2015, 09:57 PM

It's good to have options.

steveclocks · 14 June 2015, 10:11 PM

WOW, very beautiful indeed
