Two tone your first choice? Be honest.

[sj24k]

Ok, trying to get a sense of who actually bought a two tone model because it was their absolute first choice? Not because it was what they could get quicker or easier? I’m talking true first choice. Zero settling.

I’m saying “be honest” because I think it’s a tough question to answer given how hard it’s been to acquire SS and pure PM. And I think many have been steered to (or slowly came to) TT just to get in the game.

This isn’t intended to be a knock on TT, not at all. There are plenty of lovely ones, and this forum has shown me how wildly tastes can vary. But my hypothesis is that a very large percentage of two tone sales come as a result of not being able to get the buyers true first choice. So I assume it’s an effective Rolex sales and marketing strategy. (I see a lot of TT featured in their advertising.)

Availability and secondary market pricing would say I’m probably right. But since you’re all out there, let me know.

Full disclosure, I bought a TT CHNR when it first came out even though it wasn’t the watch I initially inquired about. It was beautiful, I enjoyed it for a while, but I didn’t really wear it, and ultimately sold it. I know that reference is a first choice for many, so expecting to see it mentioned a lot. That, and the “bluesy” appear to be standouts in this regard?

Anyway, thanks for playing.
