This is my 20 year old TT Sub. It has gone on countless dives over the years. It has held up to imamaculant condition and my dial has a slight purple patina that only has made my watch that much more desirable. Aluminum bezels are very durable.

This is one of the most incredible 5 digit subs I've seen. And for the record I'm not a big fan of two tone on the sub, nor am I particularly fond of purple. But something about this combo on this well maintained 20 year old piece hits me right in the warm and fuzzies. Thank you for sharing.

Yup, me too. I've never took a second look at this piece until I saw this photo. Now I find myself scanning watchrecon for 16613s in good condition with purple patina.

The bracelet on the SubC is a significant upgrade to 5 did get model. With the solid center links it feels much sturdier than previous version. The clasp is world class vs the 5 digit stamped clasp. Go 6 digit and you will not ever be regretting it.

I have both the 16610 and the Hulk and enjoy them both in different ways. The 16610 is a very handsome watch when you see it on your wrist, much nicer than pictures can convey. The full-on green of the Hulk seems to suit the larger angular case, however IMHO not quite so much for the black. Both the 16610 and 116610 are great watches and a matter of personal preference. The 16610 has more of a connection with the past however. I found this comparison link which might help you out. Good luck! Cheers!
