Met a friend and his VERY affluent friend was there as well. He noticed my pres and said oh nice watch. I looked at his wrist and he had aTT GMT C. Wow that is nice!! I very rarely see Rolex's in the wild and I tried it on. Aside from my skinny wrists, that watch is a beast! The contrast with the bezel, green hand and gold/steel, that is damned beautiful!! I couldn't pull it off, but it's so much different seeing/trying on a watch in person as opposed to pics, obviously..maybe if I bulk up my wrists I could pull it off...

Never that impressed by pics of it but saw it in an AD in Wales last year and was blown away by how pretty it looked.

Tears up the SS version in the looks dept!

I will probably be getting one soon,
having priced them out - you can get one used for only slightly more then a SS new.

No question, with the prices so close, I will be going with the TT over SS.

and everyone is right - pictures of the watch do not do it justice. Never considered buying one until I tired on it at the AD -
SWEET !!!!!!!!!!!!

I was dead set on the all gold version but I bought a new car this year so that went out the window. BUT when I compared the TT to the SS model I fell for the TT. Stylish.
It is a bit more hefty than my 16750 but I like it and it is spot on with now -1 sec to +1 sec PER WEEK!
