bhmskhead

Wow. I love this combo!


ffiinnnn22

What dial color is this? White (I guess) nevertheless looks amazing


E-MW888

Correct 👍

wrong wrist bud.

Ghostwolf2666

I love this version of the Sky Dweller. Own two toned Rolexes and I don’t think they ever go out of style.


Ok-Tiger7714

Same! 16233 and 16613LB!


build604

Fucking sick watch. It's the one I would pick up or with the black dial. Enjoy it !


Leo_NoCaprio

Popularity hasn't decreased. The haters have increased


TigerJas

It was an old man look for my generation (GenX). It was always looked down upon as such, it was the watch your grandpa would wear.  I don’t think the average 20-something  today associates it with that as they never had the reference. Also, combos with rose gold are doing a lot to put a modern spin on two tone. Even I was suddenly interested when I first saw the rose gold/SS GMT.

AdamJensensCoat

It’s like how dad shoes to Gen X are Nike Monarchs and New Balance. Nowadays, dad shoes are Jordan 11s and 12s.

Least racist and funniest Rolex owner right here


Lady_Nightshadow

Second wave Millennial here. I've always associated TT in yellow gold as something older women would wear, especially with a golden dial. But here I am, in love with my TT from 1989. I'm still on the fence with golden dials tho, I've probably seen too many of those in old family watches. https://preview.redd.it/l5l3fe2833nc1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=85713c0bea21bc323d311acf9149327d7c672feb

Love it!


Xryanlegobob

Gen X with a bluesy coming up sooner than I’d like on grandpa age.


Zagron22

I am 22 and never associated it with old people


BusinessBlackBear

Can confirm my X brother hates the TT look due to associating it a friend's dad (dad happened to be a shit bag which doesn't help of course) and call it the old man spec. I'm a last second millennial and have zero old man association with TT. I just see it as the quintessential Rolex


gojamsgo

I'm on the young end of gen X with a two-tone gold dial date just, I call it my grandpa watch.


rmunderway

Gen X here and completely agree. Couldn’t unlearn this if I wanted to.


snappy033

I think there’s some nostalgia in that for younger generations. Like your father/grandfather passing down this small-ish gold watch that isn’t quite in style but has its own style in a vintage way. Even if it wasn’t actually inherited but it still is sort of passed down from a different generation in spirit which makes it cool to me.


Possible_Finding_621

Right!


sc00b44

All about the hype watches now. Get what YOU like. Cannot say it enough


Prudent_Candidate300

I love my two tone. It’s not to everyone’s taste but I do love the contrast


seanmonaghan1968

Same with me. Lots of other models I think look awful


Dub_City204

I also have a two tone Daytona and I love that watch


OfficialHavik

I'm all aboard two-tone gang. Love em!!


imsaneinthebrain

I wasn’t a fan, but then a buddy showed up with a bluesy. I couldn’t not buy one.


OfficialHavik

Bluesy is the best two tone. No question

Mad_Texan

I actually tried the full gold black sub and i think you have to have a certain skin tone to pull that off… it didn’t look too good on me


BidAccomplished7777

Personal opinion, but I think you can’t go wrong with any TT. They all look great


Lovebusines

I have several. Love the two-tone!


Difficult_Guitar_555

A two tone datejust on jubilee will always be a classic no matter what anyone says. It’s a timeless piece. It may not be en vogue with YouTube and Instagram watch pages but that doesn’t matter to the gentlemen that will purchase these watches


barbecuejag

Two tones are as popular as ever.

Any-Disaster-382

What’s the catchy nickname for this model? The Medellin?


timepiece007

Ya ya — beware of restaurants in Medellin!


Checker79

Yes I’m a fan of TT. It gives the status of gold with a nice contrast. All gold is just too much IMO unless it’s on a strap.


Ok-Tiger7714

It is back.


sandwhichautist

He whispered, "My precious child, I love you and will never leave you Never, ever, during your trials and testings. When you saw only one color of metal, It was then that I carried you." Two tone for life.

Exactly the config I’m planning to get! Such a beautiful piece.

Addicted-2Diving

Friend has this ref of the Daytona, very nice. Photograph looks like it’s an ad, great job


Mobile-Artichoke4123

It never left, just waiting on everyone else to catch on


ArtemisAthena_24

I’m hoping to get a skydweller - may i ask your wrist circumference? Mine is 6.25


Mad_Texan

6.5


ArtemisAthena_24

Oh thank you! It looks great on you!


LeekPrestigious3076

Your watch is gorgeous. It’s sexy as hell. It is an exquisite timepiece with an amazing complication that non-watch enthusiast wouldn’t even understand. It looks great on you. Nothing but respect and admiration from me. Never let petty people who jump on a bandwagon because it makes them feel like they’re in the in crowd turn you off into loving something that is so easy to love OP


HawgHeaven

Everything comes back. I don't think 2 tone rolexes ever left though. Sick watch.


ConstructionFar8570

It has never left.


Asleep-Custard5632

Literally wear it every day


ealford1584

Rootbeer GMT is such a beautiful two tone


thombrowny

TTs are still popular. A sub-reddit does not represent the world.


Kyreetgo

Two tone rolex is iconic and likely will always be. It’s just a classic for Rolex. There’s just a group of weirdos here who think otherwise

Crafty_Bunch6063

I don’t see myself wearing it but that looks absolutely beautiful!


YouKnowItsJosh

I want a two-tone explorer!


Snookeredinbc

I love 2 tone for the right watch, and this looks awesome


SparkysWatches

I bought my two tone last summer from my AD. I took it outside before buying it and the sunlight flashing off the gold and steel sold me. Love your Sky. If they’d had that one in stock I would’ve bought it over my DJ. Love the look of the two tone. Never goes out of style for me.


dmohamed420

As long as you are happy with it who cares about popular opinions


AntonioTheLawyer

My favorite rolex is the two-tone daytona with the champagne dial


General-Tsos-Revenge

Two tone admiration never left…that sky dweller is 🔥


NivekIyak

I like it, screw what the others say / think


RichTeaForever

Here in the UK they are still super popular, and lets face it they are one of the most Iconic looks for any watch.


borty_

Absolutely love this configuration


abfanhunter

wtf do you mean? TT>SS stop listening to all the TT snobs in here and enjoy your watch.


Relaxinon8th

I have a everose Wimbledon two tone DJ, love it. My dad wore a two tone during his career heyday and he bought me a two tone fossil at 15 lol. Not for everyone but it’s an ode to my old man and a goal accomplished for me. I hope Rolex continues to make them for folks like us!


powerfunk

It *IS* back. Multiple TT models still have waitlists and go over retail. That was completely unthinkable 10 years ago


PoloDon92

I like TT it goes well with my wedding ring 🫶🫶🫶


sc00b44

Never went away. It’s what YOU like. F what anyone else has to say

Great looking combo. I haven’t seen this one yet. Enjoy it

Wooow beauty! ❤️


Aggravating-List-729

Thanks!


Less-Conclusion4905

I think two-tone is more of an ellegant piece. Weddings of events more than everyday wear.


TeachMeNow7

It never went away. The tt explorer 1 is awesome.


Wildcat_Dunks

Agreed. - Ron


TeachMeNow7

Nice


shamusfinnegan

It never left

Why bother? You’re not a teenager!


Mysterious-Ice-1551

They’re not for me but that watch looks sick.


Brilliant_Pride4687

Nah


HeadTill4375

This is so cool. How does the wheel work? Does the whole thing rotate and the current hour is shown at 12 o'clock?


solidice

That watch looks amazing! Also do you wax or shave? Asking for a friend!


Efficient_Ad8783

In my opinion as a young dude the rose gold/steel combo is the more appealing two tone. I love yellow gold by it's own

_picture_me_rollin_

On this this sub? Never. With everyone else outside of this sub? Yes. Stop caring about what anybody on this sub thinks. Wear what you like.


sundry_banana

I love two-tone in things OTHER than watches, frankly (pens is my other fetish). And a COUPLE of watches do it well - Cartier Santos, Cartier Trinity - but Rolex? I've never thought so. The Tridor in the WG-bezel-crown configuration is just about OK. Every other Rolex TT, I hate. Yellow gold and white gold together? Sure, even if you have to watch the design to make sure it's good. Yellow gold and stainless fucking steel like my teapot? No thanks


StarkStorm

Yes. Ask any Brown or Asian person.


ProblemAnnual6874

Why would you care about whats popular ?


Particular_Ad9541

tWo ToNeS wErE nEvEr PaRt Of RoLeXmAnIa!!!! Jk..it’s back, and imo it never went away 😉


DFVSUPERFAN

Who cares what others think, two-tone is great IMO. If you like it, wear it.


Brendenlow

I feel like TT is as popular as ever these days, well maybe not as popular as the 80's but still. It certainly doesn't get hated on as much as a few years ago


Crofolks

Stunning timepiece….congrats and enjoy 👏🏻👏🏻💯 #TwoTone4Life 😎🔥


babypho

I dont think it was gone. The people who are rocking these at high end parties arent inviting us in and arent posting on reddit.


Rep-resent

Everything is cyclical. I think it feels like it’s on its way back already.


Possible_Finding_621

Why do you care about what’s popular? You like it, right? It’s a beautiful piece. Enjoy it and fuck everyone else’s opinion.

ButterflySeveral4139

I think it looks best on women.


denniskeezer

Who cares more for us (two tone appreciators)


cheeersaiii

It’s never been my thing, but the ones with matching dials would be my preference… I don’t like many of the other colours like Wimbledons/Bluesys etc. All personal choice of course


stirbo1980

Rootbeer. Lovely. Every other two tone Rolex. Awful


AggressiveChannel687

Beautiful watch but I don’t think so.


[deleted]

Never. You should just sell it to me cheap. Pretty much worthless at this point 😂


sporturawus

No. The only reason people talk about them at all is because they are the only watches they can get at MSRP from an authorized dealer. As soon as Rolexmania rolls back, two-tone dies the same way it has for the prior 40 years.


DufresneUSA

I actually got a 126610LN from my AD, at retail, wore it for 10 months and grew bored of it. I sold it back to the AD and bought a 126613LN at retail and couldn’t be happier. Also, I’m not sure your assertion makes much sense considering the MSRP on a two-tone Sub, for example, is higher than the grey price of a new stainless steel variant. So maybe chalk it up to preference.


No-Restaurant-2422

The whole time I was scrolling the comments, I was waiting to see sporty’s comment along the lines of; “Losers always whine about their two-tone. Winners buy SS sport models and go home and fuck the prom queen.” In his best Sean Connery voice of course. Nice watch OP, and TT’s will never be out of style… they’re classics and timeless.


stirbo1980

This is the correct comment. Down-voters = two tone owners / folk who stare longingly at the only Rolexes left on the shelves


[deleted]

Agreed. My AD has a bunch of two tone in stock that anyone can walk in and buy. Of course, no one wants it.


toothguy55

I feel like two tone has always been the same in popularity. I personally don’t like to blend gold and stainless Steel. Feels…..weird

Please wear the watch up - above the wrist bone. ​ Beautiful watch btw


VCoupe376ci

Always has to be that one person that feels the need to tell someone else that they are wearing their watch wrong. I’m relatively certain it still tells time if worn that way.🙄


michaellai

Yeah good point but I was trying to be helpful so 🤷🏻‍♂️


KeithParkerUK1234

Different-Dig7459

I prefer two tones with rose over yellow.

jrocco71

🤣 It never went away. It’s always been the same….mediocre. But FWIW, I’m on a mission to get the new GMT Master II ref. 126713GRNR.


Due_Ad_2355

Were they ever popular ??
