Which is exactly why I bought TT.

If I wanted to be just like everyone else, I'd be just like everyone else.

And while I'm at it I think you can only pull off a full gold watch with gold bracelet if you are Tony Soprano or Elle Macpherson.

A gold watch with leather strap is hot though, not too over the top.

Stick with SS, it rules!

I'm sorry, I can't resist: TheJoker, you're such a d-bag

Well same to you, can't be bothered to explain myself over and over.

Seriously this is well over a year old. Wish this thread would just die.

Not sure why they are 'unwanted', LOVE MINE!

Maybe some of the 'offendees' should actually go back to the eighties and maybe................'man up'

On that note, I think we should start a new thread, I have three suggestions. Which do you think we should go with ??

1/ Show us your pics.....TT/Gold Rolex and your care home !

OR.....

2/ Show us your pics.....TT/Gold Rolex and your favourite toupe !

OR How about.......

3/ Everytime I put on my TT or Gold Rolex I can smell cabbage and urine....does anyone else have this problem ?

I hope no one is 'offended' I am just trying to lighten up the proceedings !

As for my thoughts on the matter, TT suits some people, it doesn't suit others. I'm one of the latter, so TT doesn't interest me

I took your comments (as most people did) as a light hearted view. It was quite amusing

Bernie. Like I said many times after that in this thread, that's was one of my first post's here, yes I was trying to a smart alec. I would never mean to offend someone's watch choice. I can't delete it.

Looks like people will continue to quote it and call me a d-bag for the rest of entirety.

[Kyu]

i'd do a TT if it was wg and yg
not ss and yg

[rollerball]

I agree that SS is more popular in the secondary market. I was wondering why for a moment until I had some insight from my AD.

Generally, TT Rolex commands a premium above their SS counterpart due to their gold parts. Functionality of SS Rolex is the same as TT Rolex. He told me that those who decides to buy TT are usually prepared to pay the premium. They usually buy new from AD and do not really mind paying. One interesting thing is that they do not really visit forums and blogs to help them make their decision between TT or SS.

Whether or not they are prefered or not, they are all good watches and were once loved by their first owner.

As for the secondary market, I heard that some TT does better than SS versions especially TT-GMT and TT Jubilee DJ.

[JKunani]

TT watches are beautiful. I personally think they are very elegant yet sporty at the same . When I think of a Rolex, I think of a TT Datejust.

[technodon9]

IMHO. Like any fashion. SS for today's trend (may be) then TT's trend will come back in the future while SS will look dated. Just enjoy whichever you have for a long time. One day your watch will be on the center stage. P.S Yes, Gold does chose people. Not for everyone in every aspects

[tonypapa67]

As long as it is a Rolex.....

[Mephist]

Personally I like SS, white gold, or plat. I can never see myself buying a TT or a full yellow gold watch. It is also from my opinion a little to flashy for me.

With that said, if I ever had to get a yellow gold watch I would choose a full yellow gold over a TT.

Just my opinion.

[Check]

For me, TT only rocks in the bluesy (i think it's 16613). That is just an amazing piece. Aside from that I'm a SS guy.

[financeman]

I personally like the TT. I think it is a very classy looking watch.

[4therightcause]

I love TT the 16613 blue is stunning same watch with the champagne serti dial is stunning and soon hopefully I will own a rose gld TT yacht master ii also stunning. Date just 2 also looks great in TT.

Mate, I feel for you, but you gotta admit its pretty funny that you were slating TT when youre from Essex which has now become the home of the over the top, gold watch wearing wnkers/slappers screaming look at me Im so talentless but always in the goddam papers!

Anyway Im getting a TT GMTc so Ill be immedietly moving to Essex to parade it around the Sugar Hut Nightclub to bag me a foursome.

What? I disagree!

Not only Tony Soprano and Elle Macpherson can pull off a full gold watch with gold bracelet. Clay Morrow from Sons of Anarchy can also pull off that look.

Joker, this post is funny, one of my favorites. You have a good sense of humor. Btw, my favorite watch is tt date just, bought it in 85, wanted the gold but couldn't afford it so settled for tt.

[Wacko]

I wanted the gold DJII but all i could afford was the TT (runs to the bathroom and cries)

SS has never been out of style, it was never a fashion and never will. Its the proper case for a tool watch.

[Culley22]

SS is for people that can't pull off the TT because they look like they don't deserve to have on a Rolex.

If you like a YG, TT or SS Rolex buy one or one of each! I think they are all great watches and wear very well for all occasions!

IMHO - Not dated/cheap/80’s/Sopranos/etc.

If you have the style and confidence, you can pull off anything, anytime, any place...(similar concept to the Mystery Method as a pick up artist wearing an outrageous hat in a social setting).
