Sorry if this has been asked before but I've been away for a while and my wife has taken a shine to a "T.F". Just wondering what the group thinks about them.

TswaneNguni · 16 December 2019, 08:03 AM

Prefer Jelly Tots myself .

The gems make the bezel worthless, but if somebody likes the look, that's why they make them.

Welcome to the forum

What the hell is a tooth fruity?

I’ve seen it mentioned on here but with no pics so idk what you’re talking about

schoolboy · 16 December 2019, 08:30 AM

Just looked it up.

I wouldn’t buy it even if I could afford it.

The rainbow Daytona though...

Wooooooooo

That is a dream watch

Yes. It was a subversive classic by Little Richard.

jvb.nc · 16 December 2019, 12:58 PM

i’ve seen this referred to also as the haribo.

pretty different!

Chewbacca · 16 December 2019, 01:07 PM

Sure. Why not?

GMT Aviator · 16 December 2019, 08:34 PM

My Better half wants a Tutti Frutti since they came out, but unless I win the Euromillions lottery it’s not happening!

I sometimes wonder if TRF is getting like a kindergarten forum for the 3-4 years old kids with these ridiculous names for Rolex watches.

Fat_ninja · 16 December 2019, 09:56 PM

I actually love it but my girls don’t like it so I didn’t pick it up.

If the OP cannot bother to post a pic to illustrate (yes we all know we can find it on google)... Don't get these threads. The only picture in it is a joke picture... outta here.

Hawkeyes · 17 December 2019, 12:13 AM

my apologies for not knowing the protocols of this board. I tried just know to post a photo of it but it didn't work. The photo has to be resized. My apologies zewill.

Max7857 · 17 December 2019, 12:33 AM

Actually kind of cool. Definitely a special occasion watch though lol.

Hawkeyes · 17 December 2019, 12:43 AM

here it is.

Hawkeyes · 17 December 2019, 01:01 AM

thanks, its for every day wear, and now she thinks its a little much for that. She thinks the std black bezel with the diamond face. And, when I resized the photo it gave it a funny angle. My computer skills are lacking...

I saw that exact YM with the coloured stone bezel and paved diamond dial at an AD in 2018 ...MAGNIFICENT !!!

Will be very hard wearing ...oysterflex and stone bezel = no scratches .Better than sporties

Ferdelious · 17 December 2019, 01:23 AM

Great for a woman in my opinion. If she likes it go for it.

mulgogy · 17 December 2019, 01:28 AM

Ive always known it as the "Gummy Bear" unofficially.

For better or worse, life is change. Personally, I detest hot model nick names. And miss the days of "Reference Number ___ with a Caliber ___ Movement." Of course you had to know the reference number.

I suspect that eventually we will move from nick names to just emoji's. Oh, well...

TonyD · 17 December 2019, 01:49 AM

I was able to see one in person and on the wrist its actually beautiful. Not garish looking at all. Its actually quite tasteful in real life. I still wouldn't buy it.... but I was surprised by how much I liked it.

Looks amazing in the natural light! Congrats on the new watch.

Edit - I see that she may thing the bezel is too much for everyday. Probably right but it is something to look at. :)

When resizing there's often an option called "constrain proportions" or something similar that you want to keep active. This way, when you resize, it just lowers the resolution without distorting the image.

I'd rather stick pins in my eyes!
