New Rolex I Bought Today
Love it! I had it narrowed down between 116610LN and 116610LB. I think I made the right choice.

All I can say is WOW. That's my personal perennial favorite. The down side is it's been out of my financial ability for 47 years or well 40 years since I first saw that model as a child. Say, I have been told there were now several blue dials? I thought there were just 2 versions. The dark /original, and the lighter blue. Is that true? Which one is your model ? It's quite stunning!

Thanks! My second favorite Rolex. I want a white gold Daytona with meteorite dial but it's 35K!

My AD only had one TT blue sub. It's 116613LB. I think it's the only TT blue model.

Yes that's the only TT blue dialed Sub. Congrats!

Always loved mine till I got a flip trip going and it "became" a Root Beer GMT

I don't think the bracelet is a real threat. The desk diving you'll do litigating and negotiating is more likely to be the cause of scratches.

His is the stunning sunburst dial. The other ceramic TT is the older flatter blue dial, probably hard to find in ADs now.

You did. Put the bling on your other wrist. Detracts from the watch.

Beautiful watch! Agree re the bracelet. Do you normally wear the two together? Clashes with the steel of the watch, both aesthetically and physically!

Why would you advice him to put it on the left wrist next to the watch?
