Had never seen this until today... Any one know the history behind it and what it was made of?

Thanks!

Three colors of gold.

They were popular in the 80's.

As a matter of fact I'm looking for a Tridor DD as we speak.

Basically a white gold case DD with yellow gold bezel and crown, The tridor name comes from the presidental bracelet which is made up of white gold outer links with center link of yellow and rose gold fused together.

A very rare rare DD to find.

White gold, hence the Tridor name(3 different shades of gold).

feilong108 · 1 February 2011, 04:56 PM

wow...looks very unique...i suppose it is very costly and difficult to source for a mint condition piece...

Jacek · 3 February 2011, 09:22 AM

Here is one I sold. They are really really interesting watches.

arttay10 · 3 February 2011, 10:13 AM

Nice Pics - its a btt OTT on the dial, bezel and shoulders - for my taste, but a really, really nice condition band......

Wow, not exactly subtle!

xlr8by · 9 July 2011, 09:03 AM

Does a tridor have hollow or solid center links?

conrail · 9 July 2011, 09:51 AM

Fifty bucks? No, no, no. This is a Rouchefoucauld.

jay_man2 · 9 July 2011, 09:59 AM

Interesting isn't the word I'd use to describe it. But I'm very biased. I like the iconic yellow gold Day Dates with the fluted bezel, champagne dial with stick markers, and President bracelet.

DCgator · 9 July 2011, 11:23 AM

I like that it's different and unique from the rest of the DD line.

destrow · 9 July 2011, 02:24 PM

Another one I'll have to put in the collection.

SPARTAN2161 · 9 July 2011, 03:40 PM

JACEK, sweet looking watch. "pimp daddy" haha

Mike Wood · 9 July 2011, 08:33 PM

I wear mine when watching re-runs of Miami Vice...

Just love the diamond-set "Computer" dial (with the word Rolex impressed across it)... feels so 1980's..!

xlr8by · 11 July 2011, 02:29 PM

anybody know about the links hollow or solid like....

SkyKing31 · 11 July 2011, 03:24 PM

My dad had one with a diamond dial .. I really liked that watch

mikkolopez · 12 July 2011, 02:12 AM

wow bling bling

landroverking · 12 July 2011, 03:49 AM

With normal DD dial they are a killer IMHO.

arabesque · 12 July 2011, 07:50 AM

If my memory doesn't fail me the Tridor's SRP was like $17k while the 18k YG Daydate was like $14k the time they were offered.
