80's style suits are making a comeback too. Was ordering some new suits and found a bunch of double breasted big lapel models out there. Will not bother me, always liked that style with braces. But I like YG too...

Was in Mayfair today and saw a lot of money on display, Goyard bags, LV trainers etc, but mostly SS Rolexes, still don't think watches are that important to most people even the affluent ones, not above fashion items.

My first Rolex, I bought in 2002, I wore it everyday for about 12 years. I think it still looks fantastic and is so comfortable to wear.

Bought my 1st 2-tone after having 10+ straight SS models, was a throw back to an era that I grew up in (1990s) - love the look.

It may be no coincidence that these watches are being worn by much younger people then my 54 years,,,,,
I imagine its to do with people being more comfortable plus a lot of other reasons,,,,instant gratifaction,,,,,,instagram,lol,,,,,,etc,etc

A lot of us were brought up not to flaunt as that would be seen as vulgar and
not classy [even in a Ron Burgundy way lol,lol],,,
So,,is now the time of the two tone and full yellow pieces to return with a
bang? and did they ever go away in the first place?,,,,

Yes I would agree with you I have the T/T Sub 116613LB & the T/T Daytona 116503 & I love both. There are not very many people in Dublin Ireland who would pay the price for a Rolex so you don't see many Rolex Watches around. My second Purchase of the new Daytona has a White MOP 8 Diamonds Dial. As I have expressed before I never thought I would like Diamonds on a Rolex I always thought it was over the top but I had to make an exception in this case & yes I love T/T Rolexes, I think they are more practical as an everyday Watch as opposed to the full Y/G ones

Yellow gold is generally not been my thing.
This is the wife’s.
But after trying it on recently,I may have to rethink my position.

I think YG is making a little bit of a comeback. I’ve been more interested in recent years.

[Uppersouth]

TT is definitely getting more popular. I don’t think the TT CHNR is an anomaly. Personally they never fell out of style for me. I grew up in the 70’s and 80’s with my family in the car business. In that era, the TT datejust ruled the roost. It seemed like everybody had one, although poorly executed fakes plagued the era too.

[RolexComplex]

They never went away in the first place. You’re seeing more because there are just more watches out there!

[1William]

I see a lot about TT coming back but I don't think it ever left. I see quite a few TT Subs and GMT's as well as a lot of old school DJ's on the jubilee bracelet. I think we have got to have something to talk about and drive fashion.

[watchwatcher]

This forum is really the only place TT is shunned to the degree it is. I agree with William...in the real world, it's never really left.

Yes but I can’t understand why the T/T Daytona seems to get knocked all the time. This is my second T/T Daytona in two years I thought the first one was what I wanted but passing a Rolex AD in my city I saw the T/T Daytona with the White MOP 8 Diamonds Dial & knew immediately that was the one for me so I picked it up last month. I never really rated Diamonds on a Watch till I saw this one. I also have the T/T Sub 116613LB & that Watch seems to be more acceptable as far as T/T Watches go but I am loving this Daytona 116503 I think it’s beautiful. I could have got the S/S Daytona Ceramic for what i paid for the T/T but even with all the hype that Watch does absolutely nothing for me

After going SS crazy the last few years I came back around to TT and it’s hard to put on my SS pieces now.

[never2late]

I'm a TT fan . . . I just love the contrast of the gold against stainless steel. Add blue and you have perfection.

[edyu]

I feel rolex TT watches and some YG pieces were designed to be flashy even compared to other full WG or RG watches. However that’s why they pop and if you have the personality to pull it off it’s great.

I like understated so I gravitate towards full WG or RG rolexes. I would get WG even if it looks exactly same as SS rather than TT but that’s because who I am.

I can totally see millennials loving TT and I think it suits them well. Young people are vibrant and the extra pop works great. :) If I were younger I would dig that too. I’m now entering middle ages and since money is not an issue anymore I love full WG or RG. :)

I think the new everose root beer GMT in steel/ everose and all PM will give TT watches a big boost.

[thesharkfactor]

I'm not sold on rose gold, I have TT watch and it's yellow gold. I don't think rose would go so well with my other yellow jewellery so I would be put off buying the new rose TT.

You need to try RG. Its not as flashy as yellow gold but it still gives a bit of bling - its like a perfect combo.

RG is very very popular now. Patek/AP and most major brands that I see push more RG than YG actually.

[StevePirates]

I’m seeing a lot of YG in Las Vegas. Still mostly SS in Tahoe.

[yessir69]

I wear an 18038 as my daily. Stainless just doesn’t feel right any more.

[DahMan]

The new TT DJ41 jub, is fantastic, in any combo

[Fujiman]

In my case, it never left. I bought my first Rolex in the late 80's when I was in my late 30's. I bought a new 16233 because I couldn't afford the all gold (which was in the $5500 range in those days?). I own it to this day. Matter of fact, I've been wearing it the last couple days after a bit of an absence and I'm reminded just how gorgeous this watch is. Mine has the silver stick dial. It's had one service since new, the case and bracelet look new (until you get to the loupe...), and it runs within 3 seconds a day (actually, a little better).

So I was a younger man when I bought it new, I'm an older man now who gets the same joy as he did nearly 30 years ago.

[Kostas]

I’ve been in for a while

[G'ed]

We are in a state where TT is cheaper than full SS due to either scarcity or scalpers

[BT1985]

I wasn’t a TT guy before but the new CHNR GMT converted me. Also, I actually kind of feel a bit more sane about spending that kind of money on a watch when I see the gold on my wrist and not all SS. Something I didn’t expect.

Long, long past are the days when I would walk into a room and was concerned what impression I made or hoping people would like me.

Now when I walk into a room, I wonder if I'll like any of the people in the room...love the TT Submariner Bluesy, love my SS Daytona, would get a TT Daytona (think white dial in TT would be fantastic) in a heartbeat, and give no more F's what people think, my field is barren of them now :-)....you'll never please everyone, so at least please yourself.

Yes the T/T Daytona with the Classic White Dial & Gold Sub Dials is a beautiful Watch. I had this Model up till February of this year but I saw the T/T Daytona White MOP 8 Diamonds Dial & just knew I wanted it. I never considered Diamonds on any Watch, I always thought they were over the top. But the contrast of them with the MOP Dial won me over, though I doubt if I'll ever get another Watch with Diamonds
