TT Crosswind or TT Submariner? I never really considered a rolex but for some reason, I have a tt sub stuck in my head the past few days. I think I'd pick one up but don't know if I can justify the price difference over what I could get for my xwind. Pic of my crosswind

I'd keep the TT Crosswind. It's a classic and a beauty at that. |

That TT crosswind is super nice. But if you're gonna go with a TT Sub, I would go with pre-ceramic as Boogie asked. That blue dial on the ceramic doesn't do much for me. Something about that blue... |

I know I replied already, but I want to say again what a beautiful watch you have. I love your photo also. I can't stop looking at it. |

The Crosswind's a beauty and a far from "obvious" choice..... unlike the Sub. |

Keep the Crosswind. Breitling just doesn't make them like that any more. I can't help but think you'll ultimately regret it if you end up selling it. |

My friend had his tt sub on this weekend. I couldn't stop thinking about it again. I could see myself wearing the sub more often, as the sub seems a bit more casual/sporty whereas the tt xwind feels more dressy. |

Your Crosswind is a classic Breitling and in your combi the best of the best IMO! Don't forget to pop in on a Croco to mix it up a bit! Nothing wrong with the Sub but really keep the CW and what you may be offerer for Cw in a trade, well you know how that goes!

I'm a big Rolex fan in general and would typically vote in favor of a Rolex over a Breitling, but the TTs have just never done it for me personally, they feel more ostentatious than elegant, if that makes any sense. If you want a Sub for all occasions, I'd recommend SS over TT. Otherwise I vote for keeping the Crosswind. It's truly a beautiful watch. |
