Anyone else really not a fan of two tone bracelets?

At the end of day this is a worthless thread!

I don’t see the value of bashing TT bracelets. I’m out.

One of my favourite watches is a 16613 but I find the bracelet too blingy so I wear it on rubber.

Then stay out of it. What a jerk move.

I would never, ever post in someone else's thread and tell them it was worthless. That is gall.

What is the matter with some people? There's no bashing or hating going on here at all, except for the person I quoted. People are stating opinions and preferences. If you can't handle that, then just avoid threads like this completely, and you can protect yourself and your fragile feelings.

I'm not a fan of two-tone bracelets on tool watches. I'm a big fan of SS.

I think it's a dated style. Stylistically it feels like a strained compromise. Commit to all gold or all stainless.

I love two tone! I have all stainless models and have had many PM models. They all have a place. I do prefer TT over all yellow gold for myself.

OP, I don't get it. You say you like TT watches but not TT bands? Anyway, taste in watches (as in pretty much anything else) is a personal thing.

Funny, I like them when I see them on other people, but every time I try them on myself I just can’t do it.

Probably the only thing that gives me pause when considering a CHNR, however the watch does look a bit out of sorts on an all stainless bracelet.

Not a fan of TT except when it comes to the Bluesy. Bluesy is exceptional.

I like the idea but not sure I feel comfortable pulling it off just yet at 31.

But if I had to choose, my fav TT would be White Gold on SS

I think the TT DateJust and TT Sub Blue dial are iconic and inmortals!

Me too. I’ve got several stainless steel sports Rolex / Tudors and enjoy my stainless and gold 16613 black dial Sub for a different look once in a while. It is my 21 year old son’s favorite watch in my collection too. My problem is getting my head around wearing a full gold Submariner even though I like them very much on other’s wrists. I guess it’s the teeshirt, shorts and flip flop crowd I run in.

When I first saw a TT in the wild my first thought was like, either all SS or all Gold but not mix the metals...

That’s just me. I think they look great just not on me

I love my TT Bluesy and I have a new Tudor SS 1926 model coming in in a few weeks. Obviously everyone has their own likes which is why Rolex and Tudor make watches in either style.

Food for thought, don’t get offended by someone getting offended.

Yeah, dated.

I don't think a TT would fit into my collection but I do like them, particularly the bluesy.

I said nothing about its ability to continue to sell only that I think it's a dated style. I associate it with the flashy 80s
