Even the new young rappers all sporting TT. Young Dolph, Migos heaps of others.

Its very popular now. I'm on instagram all the time due to marketing I do and I see watch pictures 24by7

those people you listed are buying all solid gold not TT gold sir.

Seriously, my CHNR rocked on South Beach this year. It looked really good and very fresh among a lot of prestigious watches.

I love your watch! Did you buy it to match your dogs, or did you get the dogs to match the watch?

Only an awful list because you dont know any of them people. LOL

If your a football nut and who doesnt like 50 cent. He's a boss. I grew up listening to his music and his TV shows like POWER is freakin awesome.

I just posted pictures of these guys wearing them. I could find heaps more I just cant be bothered. Young Dolph was wearing a TT Skydweller on live feed. Although he did ruin it by busting it down. LOL

Perfectly stated!

With so much choice I think Rolex caters for most tastes.

I’m excited for bell-bottoms to come back haha

I don’t think I’ll be into the baggy pant deal, so I’ll be wearing slim fit jeans waiting for bell-bottoms to come back!

The only one I would wear CHNR:)

This is a matter of taste....
I like SS watche but I like also and some models TT watches
So, if you like it buy and enjoy.
I saying in the past: nobody can tell you what you wear!!

[mistercoach32]

....along with Drakkar and 80's 1/2 shirts and short shorts for guys. Think I'll pass, but thanks for the heads up.

Why do you care what is popular ? Buy what gives you pleasure

[GMT Aviator]

My last two New Rolex acquisitions have been TT.

A CHNR and the year before a TT DJ2 with Ivory Dial.

Both beautiful.

And in response to a comment made earlier in the thread about TT and car dealers....the last car dealer I dealt with was wearing a BLNR! Go figure!

Can’t get over the fact some people just obsess over SS, I own the AP Royal Oak, owned the BLNR and have the PAM and the GMT TT....never liked a SS Rolex...can’t understand the vile stuff...

It’s just this forum is a fishbowl. Many walk around with SS blinders on. Many feel a need to justify their own purchase and impose their opinion of style on others. It’s silly and I am sure mostly tongue and cheek.

Buy and wear what you like. Who cares about other people? I didn't buy my watches for other people and they don't pay for them or own them.

Personally, I like SS, WG and TT. WG is out on cost justification grounds. If I manage to collect all of my six target Rolex watches, they will be split 50/50 SS and TT. What anybody who isn't me thinks of that, I really don't care. And neither should you.

[Hibbyx]

I have had my Bluesy new from 2016 and wanted one since my friend got one in 2004 and I had a GMT2, sold the GMT after 10 years to buy a Tag.....don't say anything I know, now have a 2005 Seadweller to go with my TT Sub

to me its more that people obsess about the value in SS vs PM, like with SS you are not getting ripped off too, you are.... then they justify the value in Rolex SS vs AP SS like all that extra finishing and movement detail isn't there.

Bottom line, Rolex SS seems to be 9k worth of SS so its fair, and finishing doesnt matter. weird

HAHAHAAHA yeah i noticed that as well.

At the end of the day everyone justifies what THEY own. Its just human nature.

All I know is that personally I love YG/TT. I like it because it just feels so much more special than a SS watch. Its luster, its shine, its weight everything about it.

And yes I'm one of those guys that dont give a second thought of what others think. I was wearing a YG DD40 having lunch with my elderly mom of 65 today (god bless her) wearing shorts/t-shirt and some Nike runners.

[shalako]

I don’t care whether TT is ‘in fashion’ or not, I buy what I like which most recently was the CHNR, previous to that I had the TT 116713LN.

[AdamW]

If you love it, can't stop looking at it, smile every morning when you put it on, find yourself looking in the mirror more just to see how it looks then, bollocks to what anyone else thinks.

Personally I love TT. I have a Bluesy and looking for an everose/ss Datejust at the moment. Buy what you love. Period. End of story.

Super glad these latter comments are focussed on the passion and fun of collecting and owning watches vs judgemental demonisation of society if you like a bit of gold

Agree with you always buy and wear what you like not what is fashion or may hold its value. The amount of threads on “will this Rolex lose value “ etc are getting tiresome. Peace and respect to you all genuine WIS out there. There is a reason why there are so many styles/ designs of watches as each person is an individual and tastes vary.

When something is as visually clever and stunning as the CHNR, the more prosaic elements of its construction tend to fall away in my little universe.

It's a CHNR. Enough said. No more description required. Ditto Blusey.

I don't buy for future value, but it does make sense to me on some level to pay for material content as opposed to hype and bubbles. Although one should never cultivate tunnel vision.

[garbanzo]

I totally believe you OP, made the call today and now a TT, my frst, is getting the DHL treatment
