No love for two tone sports? Seems that way

[back]

Been on the hunt for a GMT in SS for about 2 months. I have been following prices on here, Ebay and such. My budget was around 4k and while I think I have a deal lined up on what I think is a decent one, I had been tempted several times to grab a TT just because they keep poping up for cheap. This really surprised me. I know they are much more expensive new and I would assume less common. I ended up letting some really nice ones go for less than I am paying for my plain jane SS because ultimately I just don't like the TT. Seems out of place to me on a tool watch and gold in general is completely not my personal style. So what gives? Is two tone just disliked in general or just in sports watches that it drives what was, and should logically be a more expensive piece, to be worth 15-20% less? Has this always been the case? Then again, maybe it was just a fluke/oddity in the market this fall. IDK
