Of the three you mentioned, the Bluesy.

But, I'd also consider a TT SkyDweller (black dial), a CHNR and a YachtMaster as well.

I am going to say the Daytona with black dial. To me, it has a vintage vibe in a modern watch. Makes me think of early 90’s banker.

I'd probably suggest the one that I bought - the black dialled Submariner. i think its the most wearable of the variants and is remarkably un-blingy in the metal. I find the blue dial a bit shouty, although its also a lovely watch.

Have a look at the Rootbeer. The 114060 was my only watch until seeing the CHNR.

The Sub is the everyday wearer for me. The Rootbeer is way more ‘blingy’. You really need to see the CHNR in person.

Agree with this.

I think the two tone Daytona with panda racing dial is the coolest though.

Bluesy is a great piece, but if you already have a sub then maybe something a little different will suit better.

The DJ and Daytona probably a tie for me in terms of preference, though again purely to keep things varied, the DJ being available on the jubilee just edges it for me...

You already own a sub so i'd go for the TT DJ41 to give you variety. The jubilee bracelet is a different look and the dial options are incredible.

I have a champagne dial DJ41 so guess i'm biased but it's a spectacular piece and really eye catching. So is the bluesy for that matter but like I say, you already own a sub.

I've been looking at the TT Daytona's too but they are really difficult to find. Although when it comes to the TT Daytona, I can't look past the black dial.

Good luck and best wishes & congrats for following your heart and not the crowd.

Datejust 41 with a champagne dial and jubilee bracelet

Daytona with a champagne dial

Bluesy


Which one would you choose if you were me?
If I was you I would choose the one you yourself wanted to own and wear, as your choice is the only one that matter's.

Datejust, not a fan of the watch in any material TT or not.
Daytona, has to be St St or PM. TT just doesn't work IMHO
Bluesy without doubt the best looking TT Rolex make. I have one and love it.

100% Bluesy, go for it...

I should probably add that i owned a Daytona 16523 until recently, and it was also a gorgeous watch.

The TT Daytona, the white dial, and those gold circles around the sub dials have always sung to me... (great pic Tony)

I love a TT DJ41 with the black stick dial. Had one but is missed
