who's into TT?!

my first. and i think this combo on this size royal oak is the tits.
the 4100 model at 36mm, YG/SS with ruthenium dial with the first gen script.
feeling very OG in this TT

Mitchell I too am loving the 36mm size for royal oaks. I really like older yellow gold two tone since its more subtle. Had a TT Patek 3700 for a while and it was the tits too :)

i got lucky with this one. it recently came back from AP having gone thru full service and light polish. you have to hand it to AP with their refinishing....it's peerless, i can't even tell that it was done, it looks as original from factory. all the edges and corners are so super sharp and clean...bezel, case, bracelet...seamless.

hope you all enjoy these few shots...check out that beveling!

Marvelous. These 36mm are also ultra thin (around 8mm) which makes them truly special.

I wasn't before but seems to be growing on me these days. Haven't tried it on myself but wasn't a fan even in pics in the past. Now I don't mind :D

was exactly same myself.
in fact, other brands/models in TT don't really resonate well with me - but something about the size and genta design of this RO, i think the TT format matches its mid-century modern shape.

I love the two toned and the 36mm size! I thought it was cool when I first saw it but fell in love as soon as I put it on!

I don’t like TT in general but your watch it is the exception. Beautiful!

Beauty!! I don't normally like a TT, but that one looks nice.
It is 35MM btw. The 14790 is 36MM.

Wear in best health!

I own the 5402sa TT and can understand the beauty of YG and SS on the Royal Oak case.

I wouldn’t normally like a tt watch but yesterday I liked the look of a Rolex root beer and today I’m liking the look of your AP.
