I voted yes, but I'm more with the "maybe" crowd. I'd definitely consider a bluesy for example but not most others. Full disclosure--I did own a TT Datejust with a killer blue dial and loved it.

GradyPhilpott · 25 August 2015, 01:26 AM

I like TT Rolex watches, but I wouldn't want to own one.

Annan · 25 August 2015, 02:27 AM

As a much younger man anxiously awaiting the day to own my first Rolex a TT DJ was my grail. This is my current one bought new in 2011 and I continue to love this model.

EWC · 25 August 2015, 02:32 AM

Yes, just not for everyday use as the gold scratches far to easy.
I vote hulk for my everyday watch.

VinnieVegas · 25 August 2015, 02:35 AM

Depends on the particular model.

I love the GMT Master Root Beer and the Bluesy, for example. Otherwise, two tones don't interest me.

ZeKe · 25 August 2015, 02:47 AM

They are alright, but not for me. The one I really dislike is the two tone blue sub :/....Can't quite explain why either. I just don't like it.

Tools · 25 August 2015, 02:47 AM

I think that the Black Dial TT watches are the best looking watch Rolex has ever made.

Things go in and out of style, but that doesn't make them any less good looking.

Larry and I must say that is absolutely my favorite GMT and one of my all time favorite Rolexes. Lovely photo as well. As for the black and TT, for me I just have my plexi DJ which I had placed back to its original shape after removing the black added dial; I think it looks better in white but that might have been the prior owner's dial choice of which I wasn't so fond. I guess the DJ is a dressier watch and I like it in white.

Prior to righting to original...

After restoration...

+1. Both the 116613 & the 16613, both with the blue dials.

I do indeed like TT watches, but they need to have an interesting dial.

I have owned a few over the years including a Root Beer, Thunderbird, and a few DJ's. I don't miss any of them. I don't plan on adding a two-tone Rolex to the collection in the future, but never say never.
I voted no.

Phil t 32 · 25 August 2015, 06:03 AM

Yes, love em, TT GMT is definitely on my wish list.

After 30 years in the waiting.......GMT IIc

Headshrinker · 25 August 2015, 06:24 AM

The most versatile Rolex of them all.

roviw · 25 August 2015, 07:30 AM

New here on the forums, I bought my TT GMT2 back in 2003, hankered after a Rolex since I was about 20 years old, really like the black face with the TT, also have a blue faced Tudor Prince ( pre-Tiger) Chrono .
Added a SS White faced Daytona a few weeks ago to my collection.

filfoster · 25 August 2015, 07:33 AM

own one-wearing it now: TT datejust, white Roman face, fluted bezel, oyster band.

This is same as mine but with the oyster band. 38mm

Eric Chan · 25 August 2015, 08:43 AM

Yes. Some of the best looking Rolex watches come in TT.

Roller07 · 25 August 2015, 09:18 AM

Yes.

Sam Crow · 25 August 2015, 09:52 AM

I'm more of a all stainless guy, but I'd totally go for rootbeer nipples.

Mabcpa17 · 25 August 2015, 09:53 AM

Love 2 tones. Still trying to decide on my first Rolex. Admire the way you guys wear those gold PCLs and not worry about the scratches! I think I'm too OCD for those but TT is definitely stunning!

Thunderbird88 · 25 August 2015, 09:59 AM

One of the best buys I've ever done!
Got this watch last year on my 22nd birthday and sice then I've bought a DayDate and that one sits in the drawer, I never use.
We'll see if the AP RO will be more popular for me than my Root Beer but I actually have my doubts.

Jaycnyp · 25 August 2015, 12:21 PM

My first Rolex was a 16613. Since then I have had all stainless Rolex, but I could see a TT piece in the next couple of years!
