I feel the submariner(116613LN or 126613LN) is the most beautiful two tone watch in the current/recent line up. It’s sporty yet classy and elegant.
Bluesy is great but I just feel it’s too hard to beat the black & yellow gold combination.
Definitely a watch that I will never get tired of.

For me, the Datejust is the quintessential 2-tone Rolex. I went with the 41 rose gold and sundust dial, which changes from an almost salmon color to grey depending upon the light.

That is beautiful, on you. I tried on a rose gold two tone, and it just looked bland on my wrist. Even my SA agreed. You have to have the right skin tone for it to pop. On me, the yellow gold looks much better, so keep that in mind, OP.

I really like my CHNR. I recently tried a GRNR and must say that it felt amazing on the wrist!

Very nice. CHNR would likely be my honorable mention vote!

That's a fantastic picture! There are so many great TT options if you're open to them: DJ, Sub, GMT, Daytona, YM, SD. Good luck making a decision!

Tried it on and had to request it! I still want a Batgirl but this one adds something different to my collection as I don’t have any two tone or yellow gold.

It does seem like yellow gold works better on fair skin. Of my collection, I do think that my DJ41 is the most photogenic on my wrist, and it really loves to be worn with colorful shirts. The colors the dial throws off never cease to dazzle! Actually has pretty good lume too!

Friend of mine was sporting a two tone DJ 41, jubilee, fluted, and a grey motif dial, it was beyond stunning.

I would go with that

I think the 126711 CHNR is one of the nicest TT references in a long time.

It looks like twotone is really making a come back! It's a lot tougher after seeing all the nice pieces now. I didn't consider the twotone black sub but after seeing it here, it looks so nice as well! That GRNR is growing on me as well.
