Aw, another week and the necrobump would have been a full year.

I have no problem with a TT SD (and I probably already said that in this thread last year). It's just a larger sub with a cosmetic helium-release valve. If a two-tone sub can exist, I don't see why a two-tone SD shouldn't.

No matter what any TRF members think about the style or TT this watch will sell. Even if it doesn’t, ironically when production ceases the low numbers will have these same TRF members scrambling to get one over MSRP...such is the irony of watch collecting...

Nice looking TT. Right up there with the TT Root Beer in my opinion. The only TT yellow gold I would consider buying from the Rolex TT collection. I like the Bluesy too, but not enough to buy it.

FYI if anyone is after one, the St Mark’s Square AD in Venice has one in the window.

Same here, I fancied a TT as I had not had one before and always loved the black Subc TT but I've been thru enough Subs now so this was perfect for me, top of the TTs imho, and celebrated with a top notch cigar.

And if you are only using your Sub or SD for diving then you are not. So, let's face it... it is not a tool watch. It is just called that. It is a jewelry piece as any other Rolex is. Gold, Platinum etc on any 5 digit watch absolutely makes sense. Not to mention I will wear TT/p-metal in the Board room or on the beach faster than you can say steeeeel. Yes, I am buying it and am on the waiting list. Love the fact you can't see it on many wrists... maybe the best feature yet. Love subs, had it, but too common. Seen high school kids wearing it. Times changed.

Right! I was lucky enough to purchase one on the spot in Vegas just a couple months ago and it didn’t leave my wrist the whole trip! The watch sits perfectly imo if you have a slightly larger wrist and I also love the extra weight it throws around... lead me to exchange my TT Rootbeer for the full PM reference 3 weeks later. The TT Rootbeer never did it for me and it only saw wrist time maybe twice in a couple months!

I see TTSD nice 18K middle as a ray of sunshine on a perfect watch in any imaginable way. Dwelling at sea and all.....

A nod to the Deepsea Special from the 1950's?
