Everyone wearing any rolex can be white trash.

Also, some people have a cut off for what they are prepared to spend on a watch. My cut-off has historically been £10k, because up to that point I am happy to wear it almost anywhere and do almost anything with it. Once it goes above £10k I think I'd treat it differently. My collection at one point was worth about £30k, which is not a lot for this forum! But it showed I could have had a gold Rolex if I could have got over the psychological threshold I have!

And hey, if people can't afford a gold watch but can get themselves a TT Rolex, they shouldn't be worrying too much about things!! Don't be fooled by what others on here have, there are some very wealthy members on here and it can skew your own judgement of yourself sometimes if you're not careful.

I don't have a gold Rolex. Can I afford one? Yes. Would I buy one? No. Gold doesn't suit me, I don't wear it well at all and a gold Rolex would be too heavy for what I'm comfortable with. Apart from that, I have a shaved head, tattoos and a bull terrier. A gold watch would have me looking like a drug dealer.

If I was ever sufficiently demonically possessed to want to spend that amount on a watch I would buy either a WG Sub or the BLRO.

Ha ha - likewise re the bald head and tattoos! And to make it work, I'm a little tanned!! I'd never get through an airport without the need for lube if I wore a gold watch!

Doesn't get any more WT than bloody mary in a plastic cup and a TT Rolex.

Especially if it's before 9:00am

Only if the AD offered you a can of beer instead of a glass of champagne.

I could probably afford an all PM but don't want to spend that much and quite simply prefer TT. About the only PM model I might consider is the newly released 40mm DD in YG. In the end it's all about what you like and not necessarily about what you can afford.

Well I just picked up an LB and I still lust another TT Sub, so even with $ being not an influence I would still enjoy a TT any day of the week. IMHO it is truly a wonderful combination even without a cost associated with the watch.

The combo is really beautiful.

I guess I fit that bill too, my friend. Another AT here!

Well being that a two tone Daytona retails over 16K and the SubC is over 13K I think you'll find it hard to call Two-Tone white trash. However with such a stupid question anything is possible. I love mine. Wear one basically everyday. So you can call me white trash if you'd like. I'm proud and very lucky to have what I have.

[Headshrinker]

Call me white trash! I think a two tone watch is one of the most versatile timepieces one can purchase. It can be worn with anything. I own several platinum watches and several gold watches too. The next time you see someone with a two tone Rolex, it could be me or someone that is a multimillionaire. I give you a for this post. Very Trollish.

[bmpwatch]

ridiculous....all the money in the world can't buy class....who cares how much it cost compared to other models...wear what you like and enjoy it

[AF_Rob]

Don't worry about what others think Swaggy. Don't let others opinions take away from your watch.

I personally prefer the TT look over full gold. I would be lying if I said money wasn't a factor but justifying the cost to me just isn't there. TT is not trashy, just a preference over the alternatives, for whatever reason.

[watchwatcher]

The maxim of "there's no such thing as a stupid question" has been successfully challenged. And on The Rolex Forums of all places.

[donq]

My man Swaggy P telling it like it is!

Remember Swaggy, haters gonna hate!

[1st amg]

OP has been MIA since he started this nonsense. I don't have any TT, only SS, I must be below white trash.

[submariner66]

The cumulative effect of the bimetallic watch is more than the some of its parts..in other words it has a really nice look that can be gained from combining the two metals together. It's called color interaction.

So am I missing something, but isn't there an implicit assumption on some level by the OP regarding race and Rolex ownership?

One can't wiggle out and just say well the OP is white. His question was, "Is TT White Trash?"

Done consciously or more likely not, isn't that really the trashiest thing about the question posed?

I'm just sayin'. . . .

I was just wondering why TT is so polarizing...

The second some guy named "swaggy" said it was. Telling name BTW, I think the guy is doing a little "projecting"?

Swaggy, if you've got an issue with settling for a TT when you really wanted an all gold watch then save your pennies and buy what you want.

I thought that the original post was intentionally provocative/inflammatory!!!
That is fine with me
I own SS, TT and YG.
I love all my pieces.
I couldn't care less about other people's opinion.

Unless its my wife's, she scares me!!!

[superdog]

Wait. What?
