[QUOTE=123Blueface;7494056]Agree opinions vary and are personal. We can't all like the very same things.
That said, this forum or none other will dictate what my tastes are nor should my tastes ridicule anyone else's ( it saying you did.......the thread).[/QUOTE

Hi

I think that anyone who wears a TT or a YG Rolex must be a very self confident person who does not give a damn what other people think of them. That can be a weakness and a strength.

I confess to being a shy and rather dull creature and I like to blend in the background. For instance, I have a 16520 SS Daytona which I rarely wear because I feel it could attract attention.

If I was gifted say a YG SkyDweller, I would never ever wear it, however, I am seriously considering buying a new SS model.

Regards

Mick

That's derragatory to all, the person wearing it and the salesman providing for a family as well.
This particular salesman was obviously doing better than just providing for a family - he had a gold/steel Rolex on. It was hyper-blingy, you could see it from twenty paces.

Def. classy but it depends how you feel about the flash. Yellow gold is outstanding and some like the attention, some not. I prefer white gold over yellow but the blue TT sub is very tempting :)

Aint that the truth. I owned 11613 Silver Dial Certi. Loved every minute of it. Flipped for a DayDate. If I ever went a coloured sub again it would be a 16808.

It's very classy. I nice blend of rugged and elegant. Although that isn't to say that a SS model is not elegant.

Never a fan of 2 tone DJ, subs or
Gmt's. Like em all in full satainelss or YG, white gold.
The 2 tone rose gold Yachtmasters are pretty cool though.

For a number of years the tu-tone sub, blue dial, was 'the' Rolex to own and wear. Personally I wear my WG D-D.

The 80's are coming back. Everything comes back eventually, and now it is TT Rolexes. I shoulda kept my TT Datejust.

never understood this watch.

It's a sports watch that's trying to be dressy
Or
It's a dress watch that's trying to be sporty.

Or it could just be a watch.

With very interesting hybrid engineering.

It is certainly not trashy! I wear mine with shorts, jeans and to work.

It is not classy either, it is very classy!
