All 18K or TT

I noticed the constant flooding of TT Sub Blue/Black Dial. There is a constant flooding of the TT DJ. I would like for you to vote for Solid 18K or TT Rolex

Someone else (on the board) said it best >>>>>>>the 18k is just too much watch for me right now. Especially the YG. Another time, another place, the 18k GMT II Aniv is what it is all about! I am also kind of fond of the WG Daytona which most AD's push pretty hard when you are asking about a SS. It's a little more subtle and most people would look at it and probably think it was SS.

The center links of my TT Sub show the light, fine scratches bad enough.I don't think I would want want an all gold Rolex for that reason alone.

I think the gold just shows scratches on the TT because it is polished....as do the polished parts on the all 18k. But the matte finished gold is quite resilient (albeit probably not quite as durable as the SS). But I've seen scratches on the polished portion of an SS YachtMaster that are just as visible as any I've seen on gold. Just my .02

I can see your point about the scratches on a SS yachtmaster. My wife has a Tag with polished SS center links on the bracelet and they have a ton of scratches on them.

I think all gold is king, but I find more value and durability in the SS and TT. If I had the money without buyers remorse I may get a solid 18K in the years to come.

I voted for both lol. You should have used radio button rather than checkboxes. Radio buttons mean you can only choose one, check boxes are like check off all the apply.

prefer the look of TT more unless an 18k would complement the watch more

As I´ve said before, I´m too young for solid gold. To tell you the truth, I wouldn´t buy a TT either. I just vote for it because I had no other choice

Dont like gold in any watches, just plain old SS,but would change my mind perhaps, if the right gold or silver vintage Rolex Prince came along.

TT is classy yet subtle. It doesn't scream "BAM!" like most solid 18kt. It says "hmmmm".

TT for me. It allows you to dress up or down, and wear gold or silver jewelry. Very versatile!
