no difference in the dial color, however since the crown/cornet and bezel are in yellow gold or everose vs SS, it can create the illusion of a slightly different dial shade. The gold also makes the brushed steel (especially on the jubilee) look darkier/grey....I actually prefer the Two-tone yellow gold version over the SS.

I had been leaning towards the SS Wimbledon 36 until I finally tried on the TT version and it just "popped" differently and the watch had more warmth, the SS just felt to monochromatic almost.

I don't believe there is one. I've seen both side by side and I couldn't detect any difference.

This is probably the coolest photo I’ve seen of the Wimbledon; TT or SS. Great shot!
