hi guys,

just your comment... i notice that a lot on this forum prefer SS rolex from subs, gmts to daytona... but here in the Phils, i observed that a lot of people prefer TT datejust....

is there a difference in preference between americans, european and asean?

i prefer ss on all models. but have a strange love of the TT blue sub- i keep coming back to look at it.

Actually, I prefer Steel & Gold with ALL of my Rolex watches:

Which just goes to show that individuals make the difference. Different strokes for different folks.

I, myself, prefer SS but I see quite a few TT models in my area

Almost all of my watches are SS, but one particular model of the TT DJ had great appeal so I purchased one and haven't taken it off for two weeks.

Hi ismvli,

Generally, most Asians prefer TT watches. Having lived 50 years in India and also having travelled through the Middle East (also lived in Iran for 7 years) and Hong Kong, I've noticed that the TT model, espeially the TT DJ, is very popular there.

SS models and especially the Sports ones, are more popular with the Caucasians....although YG and TT ones too find their proper place with quite a few of them.

It depends on the watch for me. In sport watches, I prefer SS. In dressier watches (like DJs), I like TT, and in real dress watches (like my DD and JLC), I go for all YG.

most of my friends have a TT DJ... even my wife has one...

me my personal choice is stainless steel... all my watches (different brand) are all SS... hmmm.. maybe in the future I might get a TT DJ...

nyyankees · 16 October 2006, 10:57 AM

I think they're all great. I would say that the TT Datejust is probably on eof the most common ROLEX watches I see. As amatterof fact outside the forum the DJ and the Sub are probably the most recognizable models. It all comes down to personal preference. Wear what you enjoy!

ismvli · 16 October 2006, 07:13 PM

hmmm.. a friend of mine told me that the reason why he likes TT is that it is more flexible compared with SS... It means that you can wear it with formal or casual outfit.

you have to remember one important thing, the ppl that frequent these message boards are less than 1/100000000000000 (you get the point) of a percent of the watch buying public. It is strongly beleived that Asia is Rolex's largest market and that the TuTone models are most popular around the world.

roadcarver · 17 October 2006, 02:50 AM

I'm in to SS no TT for me.

JJ Irani · 17 October 2006, 02:53 AM

Nice selection, Vernon. A TT DJ would fit in perfectly into that collection....and look damn good too!!

roadcarver · 17 October 2006, 08:00 AM

It would be nice JJ, but I'm not into yellow gold that much
