I would buy the TT at the best price possible and start enjoying wearing it. I would continue to save and as the time gets close, you will know if the jump to PM is worth it. It maybe that you enjoy the TT so much that it will be the watch to own, maybe not. I don't see it as settling if you have a plan. Good luck and keep us posted on what you decide.

Full Rose!!! I went into my AD with my bro-in-law over Christmas holiday; he picked one up, absolutely stunning watch. May be my favorite PM Rolex piece I have seen in the flesh!

I said wait for another year, the full rose gold rootbeer is impeccable.

I would get the TT now (@MSRP) and wear it for a year while you continue to save. You won't lose much if anything and if you still feel the pull for the full gold next year, sell the TT and buy it.

You literally can't lose either way.

TT. The full RG looks too pink to me(my opinion) but with TT you get a great contrast. In the end, only matters what you really want.

Have you tried both on? There’s a pretty significant weight difference to consider. I tried one and while gorgeous, it’s a hefty piece that’d best be part of a decent sized rotation.

1. If you pay MSRP for the two tone you will get all your money back in the next 12 months and maybe even make a bit so you don't lose much having the TT for a year.

2. The two tone rose gold contrast with the steel looks really nice. I'd personally never get yellow gold but the rose gold is awesome contrast.

3. The all rose gold in certain light, for instance a bar or restaurant evening scene is sometimes hard to discern the color. This is where the TT does a better job making the rose gold pop.

3. 90% of my friends and family said the TT was a less blingy way to go. I really fight everyone on this but i have to say, wearing the TT anywhere, I don't personally feel like i'm "overdressing" as i would with the full rose gold.

4. Going the TT route frees up another 20k for another awesome rolex. Less eggs in one basket.

5. With all that said i sometimes yearn for the full rose gold but that doesn't last long and i think i'd still rather have two watches versus the one full RG.

Hope that helps.
Valid reasons there ���� The full Rose gold is awesome looking but in many pictures I’ve seen, the colour is so subtle looking that it kinda looks like steel in some lights.. haven’t seen in real life Though. Also the TT would be more versatile and easy to wear everywhere and attract less attention too. The full gold can be risky to wear at late nights at some places.

But all said and done, I love the full rose gold CHNR and is only my list too. And I too would be in a dilemma too when out to buy one

Also looking at your signature, you already have one rose gold sports watch, the daytona! So TT will be more versatile addition in your collection.
