I think twin tone is stainless steel, because steel and gold are not twins. :-)

Today the demand is for sport models in SS. As for tomorrow, if I knew that I'd be stocking up now.

The Lepoard Daytona by far. These sell like hot cakes and a great investment too. It goes with a tux as well as jeans.

They're all easy to sell. If your asking price is low enough...

I am guessing Stainless Steel, because it generally lower priced. But the gold watches are actually discounted more when used, so maybe it is easier to sell one of them since a lot of people might prioritize buying gold Rolexes used, not new, since the price difference is much greater proportionally.

Man, I am sure everyone of TRF loves the Lepoard Daytona, however, guess I will have to place mine with SS. Personal bias of course ;)

Pretty much sums it up. If anything, SS could be a harder sell since there are so many others for sale. Price it low enough compared to everyone else and you could sell a watch made of anything.

Which one is easier to sell.... simple. When the "use value exceeds the cash value, the watch will sell quickly
