I thought maybe you mistakenly left an "i" out of one of the words in the title.

Yep, same for me. I have the bracelet and the OEM leather and NATO straps, the options really make it a flexible piece and they all look great.

I've always been a straight stainless steel guy. There are one or two watches in all PM that I've come to appreciate though. And for TT, it's just dawning on me that one or two are actually nice. Especially the Tudor BB models. Tudor has been coming in strong for me recently.

How old are you if you don't mind me asking? As I get older, two tone is starting to grab my attention. I'm 42. I have a TT datejust my father in law gave me for my 40th, but needs to be restored somewhat. A full service and new jubilee. I wear it every once in a while on a suede leather strap.

I like it. A little classy retro.

Baselworld seemed to be highlighting TTYL styles this year. New trend?

I liked it when I saw it in the AD. Somehow a bit less flash than the sub TT. Very nice and congrats.

I like the brushed look more than the polished look of the rolex sub

As an owner of the T/T Sub 116613LB & the Daytona 116503 White Dial with Gold Sub Dials I think the T/T are more practical for everyday use & they look very elegant but resilient

Completely understand where you're coming from. I have, quite unexpectedly, been unable to take off my new TT watch since it arrived! I thought I must just be getting old. But it's more likely that old prejudices are being forgotten
No longer for old men and eighties yuppies, TT is cool again. Weirdly, I don't see mine as flashy, almost more sort of steam punk...

The black leather certainly tones down the 80s feel, versus the TT bracelet.

Congrats OP, really like that piece too, even though I neither have ever fancied myself a TTman.

Bought my TT DJ36 at 42, so you're the right age!
