Anyone have a two tone black bay?

We don't hear much about the two tone BB's rarely do I recall ever seeing one listed for sale here on the forum either. I can't put my finger on why but here lately they are peaking my interest more and more. I am sure they fall in third place to many behind the black or blue Subs depending on ones tastes. I've never been a huge fan of the blue Sub. Must admit the black two tone Sub is nice but I can't see myself wearing it over my SS Subc. The Black Bay however as similar as it is or isnt has a totally different appeal to me. Anyone else around here feel the same about the TT Black Bays? It might just be next on my list. You can save the; "its only gold capped and its only for folks who can't afford a real Rolex" comments. I've got two precious metal pieces in my collection along with one I gave my wife for Christmas.

I think the TT Black Bay is very underrated. I've never been a fan of TT watches but the Black Bay has something that keeps me interested. I agree with you a thousand percent!

The steel and gold black bay on distressed black bay strap is very nice - have seen it in perfon a few times and thought about getting it . But now that they announced the BB58 I will wait to see both side by side

Agree with everything said as well. The TT has started to grow on me since Basel.

I've had one for about 8 months now and I absolutely love it.
Build quality is amazing, it's incredibly accurate and 70hrs power reserve are just great.

I think it's much more understatated than the Rolex Two Tones. Gets a lot of wrist time.
Highly recommend it!


Here's a pic from my Instagram:



And next to my BLNR.

Love mine. Only been a week but I cant take it off. Wish it were a bit slimmer. Bracelet is fantastic but not a fan of the rivets but don't bother me much when wearing. Fantastic piece for the price.

Beautiful watch. I think it'd make a fantastic piece for the OP.

thanks. it is a cool watch. very robust and yes for under 4k you cannot do better for a tt watch. capped gold complainers may exist but i do not care.
