My evolution on watch preference has gone from 2 tone, to solid PM to SS.

Any strong feelings?

duc888 · 8 January 2018, 01:07 AM

From PM to SS?
I was always thinking once you are on the PM road this would be a oneway road

Then you have come full circle from a Demi-God to an Immortal Greek God and back on becoming a mortal human being.....

RichM · 8 January 2018, 01:10 AM

My evolution went like this,

Daytona TT To SS To WG

Subc. TT To WG

GMTc. SS To WG

nick c · 8 January 2018, 01:17 AM

I had a solid gold Daytona,now I have a TT Daytona.

douglasf13 · 8 January 2018, 01:21 AM

I prefer the look and weight of steel. I’d really only ever consider PM for a dress watch on leather, but I rarely need a dress watch.

TT has never been on my radar.

I am sensing a pattern here.

locutus49 · 8 January 2018, 01:32 AM

TT is 80's to me, but millennials like the 80's so maybe that explains the TT comeback. I prefer silver-toned PM like WG or PT.

I guess it depends on which Greek Gods. I am having a hard time with the image of Thor and the bling of a diamond dial.

Justinmg · 8 January 2018, 01:39 AM

The appeal of watches for me is a tool, and SS feels tool to me

101031-28 · 8 January 2018, 01:40 AM

Started with SS (5513) when I was 19. By early 30s, I graduated to TT (16523) while still enjoying SS from time to time, until I bought my first PM (116505) some 5 years ago. PM gets my preference, however I find myself wearing SS more and more these days - lighter and more comfortable on the wrist (for me, at least) and not too flashy.

Uh...Thor was a Norse god, FYI.

And I could totally see him with a gold sub, just sayin'.

duc888 · 8 January 2018, 04:19 AM

A diamond dial next to his mighty hammer?

That could be interesting

The wife didn’t like the Pm Daytona, that’s all.

bobernet · 8 January 2018, 08:40 AM

All PM all the time. I don’t really have a desire for SS watches at this point.

Thor isn't greek or roman, he is nordic. You're thinking of Zeus perhaps.

dadonn2 · 8 January 2018, 09:37 AM

I like them all but the allure of PM is not lost on me. Hard to state preference for me as price plays into it- one pm vs. 3 ss etc. Could probably change my mind every day.

RHIII · 8 January 2018, 09:38 AM

I've worn and will continue to wear and enjoy them all (Stainless, TT and PM) but in all honestly I just prefer stainless steel.

Could also be older generations handing down these TT through inheritance, etc.

ejvette · 8 January 2018, 09:47 AM

Still like them all

Justindo · 8 January 2018, 01:06 PM

Sport: SS
Dress: solid PM

I dislike two-tone watches.

chad362wiley · 8 January 2018, 03:28 PM

Not a fan of TT except on the 116613lb. Other than that, prefer steel.

Ruud Van Driver · 8 January 2018, 04:08 PM

I prefer steel but if I ever went PM it would be WG or platinum. YG does not suit me.

regnant · 8 January 2018, 06:30 PM

I like two tones albeit I don't have any at all currently
I used to think these would make one look like gold watch wannabes but I don't think that applies here

abozz · 8 January 2018, 09:20 PM

I really like the Rolex in steel but if I had the money I would only use PM, a Submariner YG and a DD YG. It would be extraordinary.

Don't you just hate it when a literate member notices something like this?

Obviously, I need to reread the classics.

Ok, how about Zeus, he would definitely have worn a stainless no date sub right?

Zeus is definitely more of a gold president reference. Poseidon DSSD. Thor Milgauss.
