Twotone recommendation

After seeing more and more two tone rolexes in the wild I've found myself wanting one. I don't have a clear choice yet since I keep seeing more and more models. I'm basically trying to find out what attracts me the most. The bluesy and two tone datejusts appeal to me the most. Any suggestions on what I should go for or look at? My collection consists of mostly steel pieces and two gold pieces. Thanks in advance!

Then probably get either a bluesy or a TT Datejust. Based on your preference and wrist size, it can be a 5 digit, or a modern piece, perhaps even a DJ41. If you want options that you (maybe) have not considered, Serti Sub, Rootbeer GMT (both the new version and older 5 digits with a brown dial). Perhaps consider a Jubilee. Especially if you go for the DJ.

Keep looking. You'll know it when you see it and you won't need to ask. Maybe meeting some in person would help?

I would go Rootbeer, yellow gold GMT TT, or Bluesy, or yellow gold TT DJ with Champaign dial.

TT watches can be very fun and also great looking. As an example, I’ve gone through just about every iteration of Sub, Sub Date, Sea Dweller of almost every generation. All came and went but this just feels different to me. I love it! The 126613LN TT Sub.

I also really like TT YG much more than TT RG, just my preference.

The 116613LN or LB. I always default to a submariner although the new TT GMT is nice.

A TT Datejust is such a great look.
If looking for something sportier - TT Sub or CHNR.

Strangely, I am quite drawn to the Yacht-Master in two-tone (Everose).

My favorite, a special Sub not often seen in the wild To the OP many TT flavors. For me I got the one that puts a smile on my face. Looking forward to your incoming and cheers to enjoying this journey
