I voted yes, but I'm more with the "maybe" crowd. I'd definitely consider a bluesy for example but not most others. Full disclosure--I did own a TT Datejust with a killer blue dial and loved it.

I like TT Rolex watches, but I wouldn't want to own one.

As a much younger man anxiously awaiting the day to own my first Rolex a TT DJ was my grail. This is my current one bought new in 2011 and I continue to love this model.

Yes, just not for everyday use as the gold scratches far to easy.
I vote hulk for my everyday watch.

Depends on the particular model.

I love the GMT Master Root Beer and the Bluesy, for example. Otherwise, two tones don't interest me.

They are alright, but not for me. The one I really dislike is the two tone blue sub :/....Can't quite explain why either. I just don't like it.

I think that the Black Dial TT watches are the best looking watch Rolex has ever made.

Things go in and out of style, but that doesn't make them any less good looking.

Larry and I must say that is absolutely my favorite GMT and one of my all time favorite Rolexes. Lovely photo as well. As for the black and TT, for me I just have my plexi DJ which I had placed back to its original shape after removing the black added dial; I think it looks better in white but that might have been the prior owner's dial choice of which I wasn't so fond. I guess the DJ is a dressier watch and I like it in white.

Prior to righting to original...



After restoration...

I do indeed like TT watches, but they need to have an interesting dial.

I have owned a few over the years including a Root Beer, Thunderbird, and a few DJ's. I don't miss any of them. I don't plan on adding a two-tone Rolex to the collection in the future, but never say never.
I voted no.

New here on the forums, I bought my TT GMT2 back in 2003, hankered after a Rolex since I was about 20 years old, really like the black face with the TT, also have a blue faced Tudor Prince ( pre-Tiger) Chrono .
Added a SS White faced Daytona a few weeks ago to my collection.

I'm more of a all stainless guy, but I'd totally go for rootbeer nipples.

Love 2 tones. Still trying to decide on my first Rolex. Admire the way you guys wear those gold PCLs and not worry about the scratches! I think I'm too OCD for those but TT is definitely stunning!

One of the best buys I've ever done!
Got this watch last year on my 22nd birthday and sice then I've bought a DayDate and that one sits in the drawer, I never use.
We'll see if the AP RO will be more popular for me than my Root Beer but I actually have my doubts.

My first Rolex was a 16613. Since then I have had all stainless Rolex, but I could see a TT piece in the next couple of years!
