No love for TT

Hey guys im im the process of obtaining a 15400 two tone RO and it boggles my mind i see no posts on here for it. Is there a hate for two tone or what i think its such a stunning watch!

My Two Tone 15450 is my daily watch, but I have a thing for TT.
Own a Rolex Dayjust TT on a Jubilee too.

No love for TT

Probably not so much hate as it’s just not preferred by many over single tone watches. I’ve never bought a TT watch, though I have admired a few on the wrists of others.

I think that's a very nice choice indeed. I very nearly bought one myself three years or so ago.

I love TT watches.

I had a Rolex sub steel, TT and full gold and the TT was by far the one I loved most.

My wife still has a TT Omega Constellation which looks awesome.

TT is just a ‘taste’ preference, largely dictated by the prevailing fashion, but to me they rock.

I surprised myself and have developed a taste for some two tone pieces. Don’t doubt your own taste.

TT always seems a little "blingy" to me, and I'm not cool enough to pull it off....

Agreed. AP is already a blingy watch as it is & I just think that colour combo works so well on the RO

The 15400 in two-tone steel/rose is actually one of the rarest variations of the 15400(much rarer than a blue dial. Add to it that some existing examples were taken by jewelers to add aftermarket diamonds on them, rendering the remaining existing unaltered examples to be very hard to find.

I have this piece and it's stunning. As mentioned above you don't see many around which makes it quite special. No idea about market value and where it will be going but I thoroughly enjoy this piece.

Thats why im glad i purchased my TT datejust before joining forums. I feel like theres alot of pressure in the watch community to conform to what people think. I personally love TT because it pairs well with other metals if u choose to wear bracelets or chains.
