I'm assuming the OP is suggesting rolex not re-release this model. This model is not currently offered, correct? It seems obvious to me.
That said, I actually think it's kind of cool. I'm not into two-tone to begin with, so I'm Not saying I'd be a buyer, but it's interesting to look at. |

I think that they dropped the Tridor Day Date because it looks like a SS/gold instead of the all precious metal model that it is.

Huh? That's the Tridor. I actually kind of love it in a used car salesman kind of way.

I like it, but how about a two tone model?
White gold and yellow gold? I don't see it happening, but a lot of people like two tone.

That's awesome. I'd pick one over any current day date. The polished lugs are no good for me.

Tridor has a superhero ring to it.

I always thought it was an impressive bit of metallurgical wizardry. Just not for me.
Good enough for Arnie, though. Arnold-Palmer-Rolex-Day-Date-Tridor.jpg Ad from 1992. |

I understand the engineering marvel behind merging the 3 metals into one bracelet but IMO it is absolutely hideous. Might actually be the most terrible looking Rolex I've ever seen.

A new Tridor would probably have to have the three metals across the entire bracelet now so it doesn't look like a TT.

Definitely an old school classic. Seen one in the flesh around 6 months ago. While I like it, I didn't love it so I passed and it was sold very quickly.
There is a strong fan base for these. |
