Which Do You Prefer?

I would like other forum members opinions on their preference for one of the two watches shown. One is the two tone and the other solid. Of course there is a big price difference but price taken out of the equation which is preferable in your opinion? Thanks in advance.

I'm not a huge fan of TT so I'd vote either all steel or all PM

I can't think of one circumstance where I prefer a two tone over its full PM counterpart. (Or its full SS counterpart for that matter.)

I have the TT and tried the full RG. I think the TT has more contrast than the full. The full looked more muted so I went with the TT. If you can see both for real the TT just looks really good. I liked the full for the weight and it's a nice looking watch but like I said there was just something more appealing on the TT. Good luck either way I don't think you can go wrong.

If you love changing bracelets to various straps from time to time the tt. If you only use stock bracelet the full Everose.

All gold. Two tone just implies you’re stretching

I think I prefer the TT Yachtmaster over the steel Yachtmaster. But that’s about it.


For this one, the RG. But I strongly prefer the WG Pepsi GMT (even with navy dial) over the RG Root Beer GMT.

I second the opinion that the contrast is better on the TT. The PM makes a statement but pure looks-wise, I think the TT has an edge. I saw both in the case in ‘19 when I bought my sub. I considered the TT but knew I’d regret not getting the sub. I couldn’t do both unfortunately :/

I have a couple in TT both yellow gold but I’d say if it’s Everose it’s all in.

Not personally a fan of PM or two tone watches. Too gaudy and gives off "look at me" vibes.

Steel would always be my choice. If I had to have a PM watch it would have to be WG as it is more stealthy and could pass as a SS model to the casual observer.

But once again that is just IMHO. I prefer to fly under the radar and not draw attention to myself.

As surprised as I am to say this, I like TT better in this reference. It has just enough rg and I like the contrast the ss brings. Now, if full had a brown sunburst, then sign me up right now

Since neither is not an option, full gold.

The full RG GMT has just never resonated with me for some reason. I think the RG Day-Date is a stunner. But there’s something about a solid rose gold sport watch that just doesn’t work for me.
