Anyone in their 20s rocking a TT?

I’m in my 30s now but bought my first TT (Bluesy) in my 20s....noticed most people in here wearing TT are of the slightly older variety.

Wondering if I’m the only relatively “young” one wearing TT

Nope not me. I like TT watches especially the bluesy but I like their steel counterparts a lot more.

I was rocking the TT Bluesy in my 20s and also a DJ TT in my 20s.

The perception of TT being an old mans watch is not even accurate now. Have you seen how many rappers/singers and people in the public are rocking TT in their 20s? Huge amount

TT is actually very very popular.

I think there is a generation a bit older than me that vividly remember the 80s and 90s when TT apparently was as popular as SS today. Some are still into that style and they are the ones you now see as old.

Then there are younger guys like yourself who never experienced that period, or might even see it as retro chick, who are not prejudiced and just like the look when you see them. Or you have seen some contemporary celeb wear them and think they are cool.

The middle generation in between are the ones that tend to oppose, even hate on, TT the most.

Two month shy of 30.. but I rock my Bluesy, TT SD43, and actually just traded in my TT Rootbeer for the full PM one for my 30th (little early lol)! Bought a TT DJ41 but gifted it to the fiancé after 30 mins.

I rocked a TT Black sub for all of my 20's and loved it. Wore it all through college and my starting my career.

Its not about the watch its the person wearing it.

I am 28, I wouldn’t be opposed to a bluesy or a root-beer. Although I would prefer a solid PM piece like rose gold DD, but that is obviously significantly more expensive.

All my others are stainless or stainless and WG (dj41).

TT DJ and 16613 in my 20s. Beauty has nothing to do with age.

A buddy of mine rocks a TT Daytona in his 20s. We both work in an office setting, but it looks good on him. You just have to be sure you're wearing the watch and not the other way around.

Only reason I wear a TT is because I don’t want to pay the WG or YG price.

I currently rock a TT Submariner 16613 and a TT Datejust 36. I just turned 26 a month ago. Submariner has been my daily driver for years, Datejust 36 16233 was a NOS recent pickup.

I love the two-tone watches. I'm not sure why they get hate. I like stainless steel too, but think TT is awesome as well.

Im 29 and Im not a fan of 2 tone.

However, the only other guy in my office who wears a rolex wears a 2 tone DJ and hes around my age.

So with that large sample size of 2, we can assume roughly 50% of guys in their late 20s like 2 tone lol

You now switched over to a DJ 36 tho, correct? It's the better watch on your wrist from what I've seen.
