I really am on the fence about the TT Bluesy. The blue dial just might be the most incredible sunburst color Rolex has in the lineup. I've typically only been a Stainless fan, so unfortunately that means the Bluesy is only available in TT or full 18K.

I am 30, so this question is really geared for any TT owners/fans under the age 40. Are TT Rolexes passe these days, or is there still a demand?

I dont own one but i would wear it proud.

TT and gold are for old guys... one of those silly Rolex myths.

bigwatchman · 2 June 2015, 07:25 AM

Me want! But I'm pushing the 40 envelope. But I wanted it at 30 if that counts.

Chewbacca · 2 June 2015, 07:25 AM

i voted maybe.

Sublover2166 · 2 June 2015, 07:27 AM

Are you serious ? If you like it buy it. I bought this 18 years ago when I was 30 and still wear it regularly.

Get it now...you'll grow old into it before you know it...

1995akcoop · 2 June 2015, 07:28 AM

The rules have changed my friend. Im 37 and wear what i think is dope. I would love to go full gold but until then, I'd rock a tt any day of the week! Look around, all the youngstas are sportin' gold

Rockrolex · 2 June 2015, 07:31 AM

I got two TT DJs when I was in my 50's (which is the new 40's). I never thought of them as an "old man's watch." I wore them when I first got them and still wear them, especially when I put on a suit nowadays.

Annan · 2 June 2015, 07:42 AM

I'm an old man, this is my TT and I love it.

Does that make it "an old man's watch"? Not necessarily.......it just makes it this old man's watch.

Daytonaman799 · 2 June 2015, 07:46 AM

Most just don't like them...I happen to think they look great. A BIG plus for two tone is that it doesn't turn anyone off the way all gold might/could. That being said I love all gold. Good luck!

Chadridv · 2 June 2015, 07:54 AM

First and foremost everyone has different taste, so there's no right or wrong. With that said, just like different opinions, there are so many different watches with different configurations.

IMO, a 36mm TT Jubilee band DJ, with a champagne dial and stick markers is about is 'Mature' looking as it gets.

However, the TT Bluesy Sub mentioned in the OP great looking for all ages. Just my opinion but it's hard to put a blanket label on all TT watches.

Then again, i'm 34 and I haven't described something as "dope" since 10th grade. So maybe I'm aging faster than TT style.

malnik · 2 June 2015, 08:03 AM

I remember seeing a lot of TT in the 1980s. My uncle had a Datejust and it was a TT. I think TT popularity will come back in a decade or even sooner.

Dserf · 2 June 2015, 08:08 AM

Im 35, been rocking tt gmt for a month now. I have had a president dd since I'm 32. Never felt too young or akward wearing either. If you like it you gotta get it especially if you can swing it. I do want a nice stainless oyster though so i can have something i feel is real durable and knock around worthy.

I voted wrong. I said "no" meaning to Two tone is not for old men. Poll Question ask if two-tone is popular, to which I would vote "yes."

vukotab · 2 June 2015, 08:34 AM

IMHO - not at all! Love the TT!

You're never too old or young to wear a first-class piece of SWISS ingenuity!!

beer · 2 June 2015, 08:41 AM

Depends on model

TT Datejust = possibly

TT Submariner = wanted a blue dial but with less expense/more durability

TT Daytona = impatient

They are old man watches. If your getting TT SubC/GMT2C it's a little bit cooler, but the rest especially DJ look like an old mans watch

DeeTee · 2 June 2015, 08:53 AM

I still wear mine though lol

MickCollins1916 · 2 June 2015, 08:53 AM

I'm 36 and I love rocking this guy. I'm in favor of wearing whatever you enjoy with respect to watches, clothing, etc.

I am 35 and would have no problem wearing a TT piece. That being said I think full gold or SS is a more contemporary look.
