GMT Everose....Solid vs TT?

If purely aesthetics are considered and not the difference in price (from AD or from Grey's), which one would you chose?

I'm a lover of the brown bezel, which both have, but I'm curious as to people's feeling as to how the TT measures up to it's solid Everose brother.

I like both but this is one reference where I have found the TT to be more visually interesting.

Agreed- I passed on a PM Everose. I just felt that a PM Rolex has to have more wrist presence, though it’s still a stunning reference.

I agree, as well, and passed on the all-gold version in favor of the TT.

Completely agree with the two tone being visually more appealing. I feel like the contrast of the center links with the stainless steel really makes the watch pop. The full pm gets muted out in my opinion. Both great though.

Owned both and TT beats the all gold hands down. All gold is great but very hard to justify the price difference.

I am waiting for solid gold. It is a bit easier to get than the TT and I think it looks better. For TT I'll get a Bluesy to fill that gap.

Root Beer is the only TT watch I would have at the moment. I give it the edge over the full rose gold piece, it is THAT nice. Only if Rolex put a chocolate sunburst dial on it.... would be perfection

Never thought of a chocolate sunburst, that would be amazing.

I prefer the TT in looks and bought it. I could have bought a full PM but for this reference opted for the TT instead. Very hard to take off the wrist

TT Rootbeer has very interesting, and more appealing look than the full rose gold Rootbeer. I'ts the only reference in Rolex were the TT model is better looking than it's full gold model counterpart.

I prefer the TT. For a full PM GMT I'd go for the WG version. You should do what best suits you.

TT CHNR for me. I find the mix of RG, brown and black contrasts nicely with the SS. The full RG feels a bit washed out in comparison.
