When is a TT more attractive then full PM?
Rarely, to me, is a tt more attractive when compared to its full gold counterpart. As much as I love the tt bluesy, the full yg version is nicer looking.
But when it comes to the new rg gmt chnr...I think the TT version is nicer than the full gold version. I think it’s because the bezel gets washed out sitting up against an entire rg watch where as the tt has ss which draws your eye to the chnr bezel. What r ur thoughts? |

TT is never more attractive than full PM. And very rarely more attractive than SS.
1. PM 2. SS 3. TT |

No. Full RG is far nicer. TT always give me that "neither here nor there" feeling. Apologies to any TT owners.

Might be a generational thing as TT is considered cool when I ask most people on this, and full gold is considered too gaudy/douchey. I read that TT is more popular for the younger people these days (sub 25).

Second part, totally agree. The two-tone brings out the colors so much more. Sent from my VKY-L29 using Tapatalk

I am kind of with OP on this one. Actually till the new gmt TT came out I was never a fan of any YG PM or TT. I found the gold colour to be to flashy for my taste. I always liked the white gold PMs, because it was not flashy.
But TT GMT is beautiful in my opinion and Id take it over any of the YG or RG models. |

I have not owned a TT since 1990 when I owned a Bluesy which I gifted to my brother who still wears it. For the first time since then I like a TT more than full gold model and yes it’s the new GMT CHNR. The watch just looks so right in TT. So we shall see but am contemplating getting one over the full RG to go with new Pepsi.

I have to say this new one is quite attractive - still not sure I’d wear it though

I never considered an all PM model due to cost and my impression that it is “over the top.”
I would consider a TT that looks particularly attractive to me, such as the Bluesy, the Black TT Sub or the Chocolate DJ41 with the jubilee Everose bracelet pictured above. |

GMT CHNR for 2 reasons:
1) RG is more subtle than YG and the combination of SS, RG, black and brown is well balanced 2) TT with RG accents is more visually interesting (to me) than a watch made entirely of the same metal |

PM always wins. The only limiting factor is cost. Dropping $25k+ on a watch is a lot of money. And when 1 piece is not enough well your wallet is in serious trouble. LOL

I totally agree with the OP.
I’m not big on brown either, but that new TT GMTc looks stunning to me. Last week I tried on both a RG Daydate and RG TT DJ41 just to have a good look at the colour. Then I ordered the new TT GMT. Let’s have a few pics just for fun (not mine)

I'm honestly thinking of getting it and wearing it on a brushed glidelock bracelet. |

Never; but I do own a TT Root Beer. If I could find a solid gold one I liked, I would pull the trigger. Same as a sub - some may call me crazy, I'd rather own a YG than a SS. But whatever floats your boat.
