I own a TT Sky D and I like it!
In PM with bracelet any watch it’s hard to wear but in TT it’s more versatile

I have 3 full PM watches and one TT 116713LN.
The GMT TT gets a fair share of wrist time. In my eyes a beautiful watch with a lot of bling and I love to wear it

As Millenials are obsessed with the 80's, I would agree that younger folk prefer TT. To me it is a flashback to a time I'd rather forget.

No worries....I have a WG Sub and BLRO so I am all set with solid PM.

But, I do think that in this model, it needs 2 colors of metal.....white and rose.....of course the white would be SS but if they made the entire bracelet out of gold...wg and rg...then it would be TT and bi-metal...and that would be the best option.

Nothing like a PM YG Rolex ... nothing. I like catching the "wondering eyes" around me. GOLD is GOLD period.

Ok. But what if it was available in TT and bi-metal...so instead of SS/RG....it was WG/RG.......so....entirely PM....I would choose this bi-metal version over the solid RG model due to the fact that the brown bezel gets lost in the RG case.

So we shall see but am contemplating getting one over the full RG to go with new Pepsi.
Same for me, the RG and SS combo is great, just need to see how the brown bezel looks IRL.

I actually agree with you regarding the solid YG bluesy vs the TT bluesy...if you read my original comment......

Though I don't think TT's ever look better than their full PM counterparts, the new GMT in TT is a fine looking watch. I'm not a TT guy, there are a few I'd consider, new GMT, RG/SS DJ w/ chocolate dial (pictured above by samson66), RG YM with chocolate dial.

Just to make sure I point out - NOT my watch (but I wish it was)

I love it too. First TT watch I have ever really wanted. The rose gold works so well with the chocolate dial

Lol, judging by all the TT hating around here, I am officially predicting that 6 digit TT models will become some of the most valuable and collectible pieces in 20 years from now.

Per the Daytona rule of contrarian and evolving tastes.

I personally like TT.

What r ur thoughts?
When it is a TT combination of 2 PMs!

Man people are brutal but honest here. The answer to your question is datejust. Thats it. The wimbeldon (sp?) dial DJ would not look better with full gold. So the key is a slate gray dial.

Whenever the person likes the watch and wears it well.

I personally do not care for TT. And I would rather have a black plastic casino. However, I have friends who love their TT Rolexes. And their attitude shows through to the watch. Their TT watches looks great on them.

Just my opinion.

I feel the 116618LB is nicer looking than the TT 116613LB... HOWEVER, the TT variant is more appropriate for me given my work environment IMO. And since I still love the TT Bluesy there is no issue for me either way. I'm a happy TT camper!

Sometimes less is more. Many TT watches like the one above and many others are very elegant. IMHO, it does not make that ‘Bam here I am impression,’ or ‘Hey look at me’ that an all YG watch does. Do I like YG watches, yes... But many think it is gaudy and over the top... A TT watch is a nice balance between SS and YG without being over the top.... And you still get to have PM in your watch... A win win situation.

And the guy who said he would rather wear a plastic Casio watch over a TT... wouldn’t want you to hold back on how you truly feel...

The older TT root beer is fantastic. Like it better than full gold.
