Two-tone for formal events, but not for daily wear.
Really depends on where you live, but wearing watches with any hint of gold is just asking for trouble.

I've worn a TT DJ every day for nearly twenty years. I guess I'm lucky to be alive.

Got my eye on the Datejust 41 YG black with diamond markers and the gmt master in yg 116713

Unsure which to pick, leaning GMT based on value in the grey market and I like the larger case size

Probably true, but so what? I can't afford a full gold watch, so sue me. There are people on Earth who can't afford their next meal. According to all the people you've talked to, I'm supposed to be ashamed for not being able to afford a full gold watch? Geesh...

I’m happy I could afford my TT and more than elated to wear it at any occasion.

I love my TT Submariner Bluesy! I have liked the look of it for almost 20 years and I finally got one this year. So I don't think its a comeback they have been popular with me for a long time.

I have a two tone DJ on an oyster bracelet that I've had for about 20 years, and would to pick up a Rootbeer and Bluesy. Two great looking watches!

I just cannot get myself to like TT, with the exception of the rootbeer, which I love and personally think is the most underrated somewhat readily available rolex on the market at present.

I have the same watch but I’ve never been able to take a photo with the light so perfect.

Like a few others here, TT bluesy just has something special to it. hard to explain but a no brainer for many...

I'm a two-tone (DJ) or three-tone (Tridor DD) guy ... only my SubC Date is SS. In particular, I think the DJ looks much better in TT than SS.
