I don't get diamonds on a gents watch, but happy with two tone

NativeTxn · 23 March 2017, 01:34 PM

I wouldn't say trashy, but I'm not a fan of yellow gold, so I don't personally care for any two tone watches for myself. But I feel like plenty of other folks pull them off just fine.

Agree 100%

Used car salesman look versus everyday wear/business casual; it's all who and how it's worn

Bigsykedaddy · 23 March 2017, 02:49 PM

I love the watch in pictures and in person (My dad wore one for years) however I do think it is a bit "dated." That said it's still a gorgeous watch but it reminds me of the 90's and I think that's because that's when I saw it growing up.

BlueAZ · 23 March 2017, 03:22 PM

Classy...but in my opinion only if you are dressed to suit the watch. My daily uniform is cargo shorts, t-shirt, and flip flops and a two-tone just doesn't jibe with that. Now put on a sport coat and pressed shirt and slacks and you are in business.

vladamir15 · 23 March 2017, 03:24 PM

Definitely classy, but a watch can't make up for how you act and present yourself

chieftd · 23 March 2017, 04:13 PM

Classy in my opinion. I love my TT bluesy, I've had it 11 years now.

Richmondmike · 23 March 2017, 04:15 PM

Very classy. But not for everyone, and not as versatile as black and steel

The so called 'bluesy' is a bit too much for me, although hardly trashy. The black two tone is more appealing, although I wouldn't call either one classy.

OCPaladin · 23 March 2017, 04:24 PM

Trashy isn't the right word as others have said... over the top gaudy...The Blue 2 tone is a bit much. Black faced 2 tone is much better.

The 16613 aka "Bluesy" was one of my first Rolex back in 1990 or so. I gave it to my little brother who to this day still owns it. It is and has always been a great looking Rolex. I also prefer it to the new 116613 but to each his own. A watch won't make someone classy or trashy - your character and way you carry yourself certainly will.

TT doesn't work for me but the LB Sub is the stand out for TT in my opinion.

1William · 23 March 2017, 09:07 PM

I like the TT and have owned several over the years. I would never associate them with being trashy.

HorologyK · 23 March 2017, 09:23 PM

I would never own two tone. Ever.

m j b · 23 March 2017, 09:34 PM

It's classy. I get a lot of compliments on it.

Flashy? Yes, it does qualify for that as well, sometimes. If I'm wearing shorts and a t-shirt, then it doesn't really "go" with my "outfit" and I'll wear the ND sub.

Met the New Car Sales Manager at the local Audi dealership the other day....Was wearing a TT Sub. My first thought was trashy....The dude, not the watch.

Rolex addict · 23 March 2017, 10:53 PM

Seriously? The two tone bluesy is one of the most iconic Rolex watches out there.

samson66 · 23 March 2017, 10:53 PM

I don't like them at all, but that's just one guy's opinion. I would say flashy more than either trashy or classy. Not a fan of YG on any of the sport watches honestly. I think gold belongs on the dress lines. Again, just an opinion...

landroverking · 23 March 2017, 10:53 PM

The real Bluesy pre C very classy. Black dial not so much.

gtnator · 23 March 2017, 11:01 PM

It depends on who's wearing it

Karlig · 23 March 2017, 11:13 PM

Not a fan of two tone watches, just me, but love my 16618 YG Sub. Like one metal, gold, stainless, etc., no 2 tones.
