Very few people notice any of my watches. My hulk gets compliments every now and then. It stands out a bit due to the color. I would imagine that TT would get more noticed. I walked into a room full of people one day and a guy was wearing that watch. It stood out among the whole group. So beautiful in person thats for sure.

First welcome to TRF why would you think anyone want to get a lot of attention by wearing a Rolex.Most of Joe public would not even look or care if you was wearing any watch.Now if you are only buying a Rolex to seek attention then do not buy one, as that's for the wrong reason.Buy a Rolex because you want to own and wear one of the finest mechanical watches made today.If you want attention then stick a sign on your forehead look I am wearing a Rolex.Then you might get some attention but for the wrong reasons.With all most all things we buy Insurance may be a good idea,but I think we all pay Insurance but deep down just hope we will never need to use it.
