Icon5 Does Rolex make TT WG watches? If no, why not?

WG PCL’s with SS outer links. Would be a nice option for those of us who can’t afford to purchase a full WG PM Rolex but admire WG.

TT WG? Wouldn't this be a bit counter intuitive...? I know WG has a warmer color to it but it's so similar in color to SS that it would merely make the watch look full SS instead of its intended purpose of making it a true "TT" watch. Not sure but maybe I am completely wrong and it could work lol.

Rolex makes stainless DJs (case and bracelets) with WG fluted bezels but I would not call those TTs.

I would by it. They should make the bezel and bracelet, WG, pay to play. I hate when they call out a DJ with only the Bezel, a WG watch. Give it the TT treatment in WG

Isn't there a datejust with steel and white gold on the bracelet as well as the bezel.

The case of this 326934 is made of Rolesor (Oystersteel and White Gold); but the bracelet is just Oystersteel:

Looks too similar to SS, plus weight differential is not sufficient enough to give that luxurious heft and feel either, so won't be many buyers for this.

It does not work based on the color of the metal and the added cost. The fluted bezel and the polished center links work well.

But that wouldn’t be two-tone Frank.

Not even in Ireland.

It would be no difference on the color, unless they decide to change the color on the dial like the WG Sub. However, I feel that there are too many variations of the Subs nowadays, so...

So they should make a monochrome watch out of different materials that costs more?

Wow

The case is just steel. Only the bezel is wg. Rolesor isn't an alloy, it's just a stupid word for "gold and steel sitting next to each other." I hate hate hate the word "Rolesor." It's a straight-up insult to the intelligence of the buyer. Two metals sitting next to each other is not some proprietary prestigious thing

Would you consider that a "Rolesore subject"?

Save up over time until you can swing the coin for WG. There is not enough contrast for a WG/SS bracelet and case. Hence the reason for using YG and RG
