Not I. I like the look of all-gold, but rarely wear them.

I'm much more likely to wear an SS. TT somehow seems neither fish nor fowl to me.

TT were never "IN" ... In fact Rolexes are not "IN" .... Rolexes are "CLASS" ..."CLASS" is eternal... either you have it or you don't ... You want "IN", then get a g-shock...

Sorry but there is no bad rolex, there are just the people who carry them off wrong, everyone is an individual, they decide on there own likes and dislikes, thats like saying all stainless steel rolexs are common because nearly everybody has one, or stainless steel rolexs are for the poor end of the market, or people who wear stainless steel rolexs can not afford the TT model or the gold models because they are more expensive, we all dig rolexs, or we wouldnt be spending time on this forum, Oh and before some one has a pop at me for speaking my mind, I own a stainless Ceramic Deep Sea, an 18ct everose gold day date with a diamond and meteorite dial, an 18ct ceramic all gold blue kit submariner and i have a TT black ceramic submariner ordered and on its way. And i have just sold my TT blue 2002 submariner. So my tastes are across the board. CHEERS

I think TT has never been out of fashion since its inception. But to me, TT means loud, or 'bling', and so far only Rolex has mastered the TT design. Just my 2 cents

Here's a TT DJII :)

I've tried TT and it's just not for me. Prefer all steel or all gold!

I say if you are an old dude, then get the TT.
If you are young and still have hair, go SS.

I love my TT blue sub - in the fashion industry here in Denmark many guys are now turning towards gold watches and SG. I think they will be 'in' again very soon. I am 35 years old and I was thinking that I might be too young for a gold watch, but I really like it and I don't think its 'too much' bling bling. I wear a suit at work and its just a great combination.

I feel in love with the 16613 when I saw one in Palma, Mallorca.. Lovely watch in a lovely place.. Got to have one..

I love TT, for me it will always be "in" and the perfect business-casual watch, it can be worn with a nice BOSS suit or with a pair of TopSiders and a pair of seersucker shorts. It's the best of both worlds.

Uhhh, not for me. Looks really dated and I just see "old guys" wearing them.

Give me SS any day!

To that I agree. I wear mine with a suit, khaki pants and dress boots, khaki shorts and a polo, or fishing shorts with a t-shirt on the lake.

I think TT is fine but if you don't like simply don't get it. No one is forcing the watch upon you. Say that I myself prefer all gold if possible. If it's not an option or doesn't look good to me (all gold sub) I'll go for a TT. Also with the comments saying that gold is for old guys, I'll like to respectfully disagree. No one notices my watches in TT or SS but in less than a week of wearing my YG DD ive received many compliments on how beautiful the watch is, I'm only 18.

I'd say no, I hardly wear my Santos anymore because of the TT.
