I love the TT Rolexes ... I think they are available at great value ... I also think Rolex does the TT the best ... This is all my opinion

Thus proving that most people, sadly, only care about the resale factor.

Same watch, same movement, has gold, but lower resale? Nah, gimme the steel.

Sad indeed.

TT Submariners and GMTs are popular. Bluesy and Rootbeer.

TT Daytonas aren’t popular at all. I’m personally not a fan of them either, but I’d love to have a Blusey.

For religious reasons and also that John Mayer hasn't swoon over them.

Very cerebral theory, interesting.

I don't know why, but I find the response fascinating.

The TT Daytona black dial really looks cool. The TT also had some Arabic dials which were great. If you want some dial selection TT is your best option.

Personally I love mine.
