Anyone else really not a fan of two tone bracelets?

I like a lot of the Rolex and Tudor two tone watches, but the two tone bands have always turned me off. I've tried to like them for years, but it's just not happening.

Anyone else in the same boat, or am I the exception here?

You like what you like, there is nothing wrong with it. I happen to be a fan fo the TT models. I feel they are a model that can easily dress up and down depending on your mood. They personally fill my need for a watch to not be too casual or too dressy. To each their own.

Not a fan. Prefer single tone or PCL, which took a while to grow on me.

I’m not really into two tones either. Kinda has to be all or nothing for me. The only two tone I’d probably consider would be a bluesy.

I've got a DJ41 in TT (yellow) Jubilee.

I love the two tone. If I could have any watch that's not solid gold, this would be it.

I also like the looks of the two tone Root-Beer GMT in rose gold/stainless.

I like them. Wore one for years. But prefer them with a white watch face.

TT is an excellent blend of SS and gold. The gold gives my Rolex the extra bling and the SS mutes it. So TT is a good mix. Flashy but subtle!

The go between would be a SS bracelet on a TT head, doesn’t look bad at all. I would have a hard time passing on all that gold for free if I was deciding between SS and TT on the secondary market.

I have a couple of TT DJ’s. One pink gold jubilee and the other yellow gold Oyster. Love ‘em both. I hope to add the TT CHNR next. The rest of my collection are all SS. I buy a reference on its individual merits and wouldn’t rule out anything.

I'm not a big fan of two tone watches but I might make an exception for the new CHNR.

I'll always have a soft place in my heart for two tone. My father's two tone Datejust on jubilee, worn daily since before I was born, will forever be THE quintessential watch to me.

Glad to hear I'm not alone. 20 years ago, I never saw anyone wearing them. They are more popular now, but I still can't get into them.
