Whichever you like?
Personally, I’d get the TT black dial.

If its truly a dilemma you'll need to at least see the TT on your wrist first.

It all depends on what you think you will wear more. Personally I’d wait because I’d wear the SS everyday.

It’s the same AD (multiple locations throughout US) store. I think they log everything I buy. So all he would do is enter my phone number and my purchase history would show up. To throw a monkey wrench in my decision, they have the Submariner (no date) I can pickup too. I did some research and the no date (called Submariner by OG Rolex folks) has some very good history behind it. Last thing I want is a safe full of Rolexes for something I started off as a hobby (enjoying nice watches). My last hobby, I ended up with a few hundred thousand rounds of ammunition..which lately is not bad since they are worth almost double what I paid for it. |

How large is your wrist? Have you considered a Seadweller? Blacks subs, while versatile, are pretty common. If you think you might pick up an SD someday, go TT Sub now. Sub is smaller and can be dressy. SD43 can be more sporty.
In other words, consider how your collection will evolve. Btw, in the old days, as in pre September 2020, I would have recommended a hulk for your sub, but a little disappointed at new Kermit TBH. I am partial to the gold and black versus bluesy so can appreciate your dilemma |

One month is no time; wait a month and pick up the SS. Two tone watches are always available when you want one.

This is easy for me. Wait for the SS. Less expensive and will increase in value more over time, more versatile, classic and scratch proof. Plus it's much harder to get ....you can always find a 2 tone. But what do you actually prefer?

It seems the consensus is that TT are more readily available. That has been confirmed by my AD. It’s weird seeing a watch that costs $9,100 new, costing $13,000-$15,000 in the grey market, but a watch (TT) that is $14,100 new, sell for $15,999 in the great market. Only a $1,899 premium vs. $4-$6k. SS might be the route to go for since I’m in the infancy of my collection. |

The problem is me. I like all of them. Just a little less on the TT because of the “old man’s” watch factor. |

My first was a TT and I had an entire display case to choose from. There will be a variety of opinions some will say it's an old mans watch some will say its the most beautiful Rolex but at the end of the day YOU are going to wear the watch. Gold is better than SS IMO but SS is a little more durable. I would dive (and have) with a SS not my TT, but I wouldn't hesitate to use my TT in any other setting. TT with black is a killer combo because I love gold and black together but again these are my opinions, your gonna rock that sht so you gotta be confident and make your own decision.

If you like them both equally, get SS first, it's harder to get at AD.
Get TT later, if your AD won't sell it to you, just go grey at a minimum premium. |
