I love the revised tt sub, is anyone selling this one yet? Ceramic bezel insert, Glidelock clasp, Maxi hands/markers etc.?

Yes, it´s out, any of the trusted dealers can source you one.
...Just ask for pics prior shipping, and check if the model you´re getting have the correct GlideLock clasp. I´ve seen some around with the old diving extension link on the clasps (the one on the non-ceramic subs).

Spirit, have you picked one up yet or sticking w/the older version? Would love to hear what such a Rolex aficionado has to say. Aside from watching out for the right clasp, what's your impression... sometimes fresh models have issues, so I'm wondering if there's anything obvious I should wait to get resolved or is this one pretty good already?
@ Doc Verylong:
...Nope mate =) Mine is the classic 16613 "non-ceramic" version, there on my sig and avatar.
I indeed plan to get the Cerachrom TT, but didn´t find a good one locally yet. So I may order one from one of our dealers to check out.
@ ispytonyv:
Tony, the Cerachrom Subs of today are really well made, and the clasp is the biggest issue of them. That´s why I nitpick so much on them. I have seen some Ceramic TT Subs around here, with a21j movements, and even these, the watch itself (case, maxi dial, maxi hands and all other details) were really outstanding for the value, except for the bracelet/clasp, (which is very well finished too, but have the wrong clasp and cheap engraving)
There are 2 factories for the a21j as I could see too, one with a awesomely made rehaut engraving, and other with a cheap engraving that looks like painting, so, I will stick with a Asia CloneETA when I get mine.
...Have you seen my review of the White gold version of this watch? The 116619LB Cerachrom? The same aspects of that watch you should take into consideration when buying this TT, afterall, it´s the same watch, but with golden parts.
You can check my review of it on my section of RWI here, as well as all my other Rolex reviews:

I´m in love with the new TT Blue, and had the chance to check 2 of them on my local Rolex AD, and that watch is fantastic! They had around 40 Rolex on their display, and the TT Cerachrom Blue was one of the most striking watches to see there, and the one that did stand out the most no doubt!
Cheers,
Spirit.
Thanks Spirit. I was inspired by your watch but got me a gorgeous blue cerachrome SS that I absolutely love. With a nice rehaut BTW 
Spirit, had indeed read your Cerachrom review, almost pulled the trigger and bought one back then but just been leaning TT lately... when Rolex released their update I thought it the best of both worlds.
One more question; In the new ones you've seen, how do the gold midlinks look? Does the gold wrap onto the sides of the SELs or not? I know it does on high end TTs like from wm9, but are the factories doing this for the new Cerachrom TTs as well? Thanks for the great info so far!

Nope, Tony.
...Sadly, the gold midlinks aren´t wrapped around the sides of the SELs. plating is only made on the front surface of the links. What´s a pity, but the rest of the watch looks really awesome.
You´re welcome
