I’m real surprised! Champagne is the least favored by a big margins! Even though it’s the dial that’s most unique to the TT model!

I bought the white TT over the champagne which was available at the same time. In person the white just "popped". You really can't go wrong with either. It took over two weeks to get an extra link. The TT is in my opinion much more formal than the SS.

Anyone knows the lug width on the TT? In case I want a leather strap for it?

I think all three look very nice. I went to the Rolex site to see the three TT choices... From that site the black hands down... my wife agreed. But of course seeing them in person would be much easier to make the final decision....

I really like PM watches... And TT to me is very appealing. For many watches it looks very refine and high end without being to bold...

22mm width. But when you removed the bracelet, you will noticed there’s a horizontal slot on the case. Maybe to hold special endlink in place for dedicated leather strap use?

Thank you so much! So I should take a leather strap, right?

Yes, if you don’t mind the gap and that exposed slot between leather strap and the case.

I saw the white and the black one in person. Both are good, the white one is better in TT for sure (both were available at an AD I visited today). It does have that younger look. For some reason, the black and two-tone Sky-D doesn't mesh up that well I think. I haven't seen the champagne dial in TT yet!

The white dial looks different color/shade at different angles. I am sure you can find it at an AD. Try all three before you buy it.

I saw both the white and black and I really like the white one!
I’ll wait to see the champagne one before pulling the trigger but what I like about the champagne is that isn’t very unique to that reference and that I don’t have that color!

Saw both the white and champagne today side by side. White is much better in my books - the champagne is very old school and stuffy.

I think the black is the best and sportiest out of all 3 still.

I felt champagne would be the most dressy out of them three! I would want it as my “dressy” watch!
Thoughts?

I don't like the readability on any of the TT SkyDwellers. I think the blue is most legible.

Need to view in real life to judge as Rolex images are not accurate representative of the actual.

After lusting for the black dial SS, I was surprised at how nice the white dial on TT is.

Was offered one this week,my father ended up making the purchase. Shame the AD is keeping the warranty card for 12 months but that is the current UK market to try and stop them being flipped for profit.

That is the best option. Look at them in person and decide. You might get surprised what you will like. Online pictures from website and in person is a huge difference.

Because many people don't like TT watches including me. No different than other Rolex references as in Subs, GMT's and Daytona's.

Most people see the champagne under the dealers lights and it seems too much

But in the wild , it’s a seriously good looker :)
