Just curious - in the last few meetings I have been in it appears that two tone watches are making a comeback. I saw a TT Sub, a TT Datejust, as well as a Rolex LV (obviously not TT).

Are gold and TT watches making a comeback? Granted I mostly see SS watches but I seem to be noticing more gold out there. I was never a gold guy but the TT is growing on me.

When did it go out of style...

smallcandle · 18 February 2010, 07:06 AM

Don't know if it ever went out of style, but you're right about SS watches being the norm. That being said, I like TT on some models and have been seriously considering one for my next watch.

clew84 · 18 February 2010, 07:08 AM

1990??

You have to admit that far more luxury watches sold over the past several years, especially in the United States, have been all SS cases. The gold watch kind of went out of style, IMO, at some point. Just an observation, not a judgment.

TT watches spices things up imo....

I'll take the one in the middle since you're offering.

....edit. The one on the right since you did the old "switch a roo".

datejust1 · 18 February 2010, 07:13 AM

Well, I think so... I was not a huge fan of TT until I saw the Subs in TT!!!

Sorry.....

I never really thought alot about them myself until I picked up my first TT. It is a Tudor. Then I picked a TT Bluesy and found that it could go with casual wear just as well as formal.
Now I have got to get another SS because I did not realize I sold them all

My next WILL be a TT but it will be years of saving before that happonds...

chebert · 18 February 2010, 08:15 AM

i saw an article in esquire this month and it was just talkin about "styles" of clothes and watches and high end "must haves". They were saying that mens watches officially are going back to simple and scaling back on size. the behemoth watches are being phased out of fashion. Clean, simple, lines but still appreciating multiple complications. Thats why i love rolex. your watch is ALWAYS in style. TT, SS, Solid 18k or PLATTY

Cristell · 18 February 2010, 08:22 AM

Never!

I'd be very happy to see that happening

With my skinny wrist I cannot wear 44+ mm watches, so I'm "blocked out" from enjoying a lot of very nice "behemoth" pieces, e.g. Breitling Navitimer World.

Speedmeister · 18 February 2010, 09:19 AM

Has anyone ever put a TT bracelet on a stainless watch head? I put a plated Jubilee clone on my speedmaster for a day to see and kinda liked the look.

Any pics? Maybe a TT Jube on a SS sub or SD? Don't shoot me!

If you've been noticing the TTs, it's just your brain preparing you for the inevitable - a TT purchase!

Something tells me your next Rolex won't be SS

Hopefully no one takes this the wrong way, but to me SS presents a sporty image more suited to "youth", while TT seems more indicative of "dignified maturity".

Evan614 · 18 February 2010, 12:30 PM

that is why I got this (not the best picture... sorry)

I love the TT look.

HL65 · 18 February 2010, 12:32 PM

TT never went out of style!! I think it is all up to your taste!

IMO it doesn't really matter if it's in or not. So long as it looks good on you. I know it looks good on me.

jas55 · 18 February 2010, 01:12 PM

I think the extra cost involved in having a two toned model is a huge factor. There are some really nice models out there though.
