I was almost going to get a used two tone sub with blue dial, but changed my mind. Anyone still a fan?

tulsaokusa · 18 August 2010, 02:55 PM

Not me.

I was madly in love with my Rootbeer, but found it hard to wear.

I still find her purty, though.

Of the TT blue Sub?? Like it but not for me........

Of TT in general?? Heck yeah........

EE33 · 18 August 2010, 02:59 PM

Huge Fan and always will be

ObscureLight · 18 August 2010, 03:05 PM

TT is always a nice alternative for all gold watches. Some watches actually look better in TT than their gold counterparts even. Subs I think are one example.

Dr. Robert · 18 August 2010, 03:07 PM

2 tone, 1 tone...it's all good

darthmouse · 18 August 2010, 03:10 PM

TT is very nice on some models, in my opinion. I think it's still "in"!

I agree with this: TT Subs look better than their all gold counterparts in my opinion.

Kindness · 18 August 2010, 03:21 PM

I loved TT in the 90s. However, to me it's a look that hasn't aged well and SS and other silver colored jewelry is significantly more "in" today. Of course, that trend will shift again and TT will be back "in" at some point. That said, classic is always classic and nearly any TT Rolex is classic, so I wouldn't worry too much about "in" and just go with what you like.

D O C · 18 August 2010, 03:30 PM

Bob I am a big fan of the TT blue Sub! In fact, I have my AD holding a new one for me right now, along with a SS DJ and a TT GMTIIc. I just can't decide.

FremStar · 18 August 2010, 03:30 PM

Two Tone works best on the Datejust models IMO. All GOLD or SS are the way to go on the sports models!

JJ Irani · 18 August 2010, 04:02 PM

In all fairness, TT watches do have their own subtle and graceful "bling" without appearing too ostentatious!!

The TT Blue SUB 16613 still has one of the most gorgeous BLUE dials out there!!

JJ

EE33 · 18 August 2010, 04:10 PM

I remember reading this in a preview somewhere

By far the best BLUE dial in the whole wide world!! I have yet to see a BLUE as gorgeous and stunning as this one - no exceptions!!

steengeo · 18 August 2010, 04:11 PM

Amongst my watches, my 2004 "Bluesy" is one of the watches that I will never sell.

I havn't worn it for some time though, as the DSSD takes all the wrist time.

dddrees · 18 August 2010, 07:43 PM

I was initially drawn to it, but decided against it. I think it just depends on who's buying it.

Brushpup · 18 August 2010, 08:43 PM

Some say they are dated. Yes, TT DJ's were hot in the 80's, but TT will always be timeless IMO. So, I say yes, always......

Rolesor · 18 August 2010, 08:57 PM

They are definitely still in!

mike · 18 August 2010, 09:21 PM

I must have missed the time when they were out.

Quicksilver · 18 August 2010, 10:16 PM

To be honest I have never been a fan of two tone. I think a watch should eother be all steel or all gold but not a mix. But I don't think two tone will ever entirely go out of style with Rolex lovers - it is a very classic Rolex look. In Asia, the two tone DJ is still king.

dysondiver · 18 August 2010, 10:19 PM

tt , oh hell yes

enronforme · 18 August 2010, 10:30 PM

2 tone sub in black- sweeeeet!!!

TempoKing · 18 August 2010, 10:34 PM

The two tone is the National symbol in America..not so in other countries

egzbuen · 18 August 2010, 10:45 PM

I love my TT DJ. Can't wait to get my self a TT Daytona.

I don't think its out of style. It really depends on the wearer and how its worn.

Cheers

Would platinum & SS be two tone, if it is I am a fan.
