TT yellow vs Rose

For those who don’t typically like TT yellow gold watches, does TT rose gold change your mind?

I've always liked TT watches. I really didn't care for the Everose Gold when Rolex first started using it, but after seeing it in person, I'm definitely a fan.

I like both two tones. Yellow gold entirely is good,no objection to platinum or white gold, just that they look like steel, but cost more.

Like both/all. Preference usually depends on the watch or available dial combinations.

Yellow gold/SS Rolex DJ or sub is an iconic design.

I wasn't a fan of TT watches in theory, until I tried on my first Sub - now it is my go to watch and the commencement of my Rolex addiction...

I'm not sure whether my next one will be a solid gold Sub or TT Yachtmaster II... first world problems...

Yes, the rg melts into the ss in certain angles and is less bling overall.

I prefer yellow gold. To me and I’m sure many will disagree, I feel rose gold or evereose is trendy.

I’d say RG is sophisticated

I prefer the TT Everose Gold. Just bought the DJ41 TT Everose Gold and I love it.

TT with Rose Gold is much nicer in my opinion (CHNR is a great example)

I never liked Full gold watches or TT until I first set eyes on a Rolex TT in RG. I don't think I will ever own a YG watch but that's just my opinion and shouldn't matter to others.

Yeah, me neither. I don’t like YG watches but am happy for others that do. I’d love to see the TT Rose root beer in person.

My story is: I wore a Bluesy for 18 years. I was moving away from yellow gold after all that time and went into all SS for 2 years. Then the 2018 Baselworld hit me like a brick when I saw the CHNR. It appealed to me in a way yellow gold didn’t and even though I was moving away from anything in yellow gold, the Everose was a completely different animal. Where I felt yellow gold was flat and more directly in-your-face flashy, the Everose had depth and warmth to it yellow gold doesn’t possess. 18 years of yellow gold and I needed a change, Everose gave my that change and pulled me back into a pm watch. Yellow gold and Everose are completely different animals as much as white gold is to yellow gold.

It’s not for me but I think it looks great. I tried a 116613LB and traded it two months later for a steel GMT, yellow gold is just not me. I like Rose Gold but only on cases (I would probably wear a RG Daytona or RG Royal Oak on a leather strap) but gold of any sort on the bracelet is just too much for me.

But as I say. On the right person it looks great and I can appreciate it.

They both look nice to me, but I'm not too sure if Rose Gold will have staying power like the YG.

The rose gold is very sharp...perhaps he’s my skin tone that I think yellow gold looks best.

^^^That is a huge point. Skin tone can make a huge difference what color to go with.

to me it is all about design not the color of PM. I am not a TT fan but can consider bluesy or CHNR. These are the only two TT I can imagine buying.
