Trading TT bluesy for 18k?

[chad362wiley]

Hey all,

Loving my bluesy two tone. However, I am growing more and more fond of the solid gold blue sub.

Do you think it would be foolish to trade up, with the only difference being the metal?

I would definitely want a preowned one, new they go for $27k and preowned it looks like $23k or so.

thanks

Not at all a foolish trade IMO. Great choice!!

[rmlovett1]

Yes...

I did the same thing after I flipped the TT. I missed the starburst and decided to go full gold and wear it a lot. I love it!

[tommy91]

I would trade up. All or nothing for me

[madmax21]

I would keep the TT

[Etschell]

id sell not trade.

if you like tt you can add a tudor bb s and g for under 4k.

[socalwatchcollector]

I have 3 of the 18k versions and love them all, so much in fact I am on the hunt for another... You should most certainly trade up.

Tough one.

Nothing beats an all gold Rolex for WOW factor but the 2t is simply iconic. The 16613 defined the premium tool watch segment for decades.

So I was all about getting a full gold piece and for some reason the 116613LB popped more in my eyes so went with that. I wanted to love the all gold.

Get what you like

Wait, does the all gold have a different dial? i thought it was an identical watch just different metal.

I have contemplated this many times over the years. Proud 16613/116613 wearer since the 80's. But everytime I try full gold on, I think about getting one.

Yes full gold Sub has the sunburst blue dial now, BUT the early ceramic ones (V serials) had the flat blue dial. Make sure you get a random serial with sunburst (specify) dial!

Oh thats awesome. I think I may actually do this.

What are your guys opinions on this versus a day date? theyre about the same pricel, but two very different watches.

Get the one that sings to you. Apple's to Oranges. You have to wear it!

[Maiden]

Get what you like but I kept my bluesy and added a Day Date for my gold piece. The bluesy is an icon on its own.

Yea, I just currently can't afford a gold piece and a steel piece at the same time. What would be prime would be a DD40 and a LV, but thats for the future.

Just depends on you and what you're looking for out of the watch.

I'm more of a sports guy, myself, so...the sub/GMT are more natural choices for me. Also in consideration is the clasp system. The sub has the glide lock clasp, which greatly increases your odds of a perfect fit, while the DD does not have a micro adjustment system of any kind. To be fair, however, the DD does have a 1.25 link you can order (read: does not come standard with the watch) which greatly assists in this endeavor.

So...your call. Both fantastic time pieces...love both to death.

[RickyRoxbin]

I love Sub!! But if I had a choice for 1, DD.

Just Do it! Or you just keep thinking about doing it.

Brian, as we've already established earlier, I have this problem with choices.

You only live once and can't get the wrist time back. Go for it!

I would if I could and I’m a full time Bluesy wearer....
Just do it !!!!

[MCO1]

Yep! If I had the scratch i would do it.

[Mystro]

If you can afford it then go for it. Who doesn’t like a solid gold Sub???

[AS90]

I am thinking about the same but wouldn't solid gold be too much bling for a daily wear?
