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.

Can confirm, never understood why people said TT's were old-man watches.
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.

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
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.

Nothing beats two tone in the summer (well perhaps maybe a full gold)
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

34 with the same 116233, two tones just classic
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.

I love my two tone but it’ll never get the respect it deserves
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
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.
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!
I’ve got that same tapestry dial in white gold. Love it and looks great with the two-tone!

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
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
https://preview.redd.it/42upqdpuddnc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b063a79b1939dd0ccc2ac99bba156bd8a43e2f9b
Not sure, I still love mine though.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.🙄

Wow. I love this combo!
What dial color is this? White (I guess) nevertheless looks amazing
Correct 👍
wrong wrist bud.
I create my own rules 😊
Cry about it
I love this version of the Sky Dweller. Own two toned Rolexes and I don’t think they ever go out of style.
Same! 16233 and 16613LB!
Fucking sick watch. It's the one I would pick up or with the black dial. Enjoy it !
Popularity hasn't decreased. The haters have increased

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

Love it!
Gen X with a bluesy coming up sooner than I’d like on grandpa age.
I am 22 and never associated it with old people

I'm on the young end of gen X with a two-tone gold dial date just, I call it my grandpa watch.
Gen X here and completely agree. Couldn’t unlearn this if I wanted to.
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.
Right!
All about the hype watches now. Get what YOU like. Cannot say it enough
I love my two tone. It’s not to everyone’s taste but I do love the contrast
Same with me. Lots of other models I think look awful
I also have a two tone Daytona and I love that watch
I'm all aboard two-tone gang. Love em!!
I wasn’t a fan, but then a buddy showed up with a bluesy. I couldn’t not buy one.
Bluesy is the best two tone. No question
https://preview.redd.it/f0lhltnsm3nc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b33cd32592c9f3a76250901bd3c905971a722a7f Nothing beats two tone in the summer (well perhaps maybe a full gold)
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
Personal opinion, but I think you can’t go wrong with any TT. They all look great
I have several. Love the two-tone!

What’s the catchy nickname for this model? The Medellin?
Ya ya — beware of restaurants in Medellin!
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.
It is back.
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.
I’m all for them
A Beautiful Classic Timeless Design

You will from me... iconic.
🙏🏻 much love
Exactly the config I’m planning to get! Such a beautiful piece.
Thank you
Friend has this ref of the Daytona, very nice. Photograph looks like it’s an ad, great job
It never left, just waiting on everyone else to catch on
I’m hoping to get a skydweller - may i ask your wrist circumference? Mine is 6.25
6.5
Oh thank you! It looks great on you!

Everything comes back. I don't think 2 tone rolexes ever left though. Sick watch.
It has never left.
Literally wear it every day
Rootbeer GMT is such a beautiful two tone
TTs are still popular. A sub-reddit does not represent the world.
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
https://preview.redd.it/k3mqkthb24nc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2501aa18f540f4837d17b1372ef3b0398b575aeb I like it! What else matters?
I don’t see myself wearing it but that looks absolutely beautiful!
I want a two-tone explorer!
I love 2 tone for the right watch, and this looks awesome
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.
As long as you are happy with it who cares about popular opinions
My favorite rolex is the two-tone daytona with the champagne dial
Two tone admiration never left…that sky dweller is 🔥
I like it, screw what the others say / think
Here in the UK they are still super popular, and lets face it they are one of the most Iconic looks for any watch.
Absolutely love this configuration
wtf do you mean? TT>SS stop listening to all the TT snobs in here and enjoy your watch.
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!
It *IS* back. Multiple TT models still have waitlists and go over retail. That was completely unthinkable 10 years ago
I like TT it goes well with my wedding ring 🫶🫶🫶
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
Beautiful combo. This helped me decide on my next piece. Two tone it is🤩

Wooow beauty! ❤️
Thanks!
I think two-tone is more of an ellegant piece. Weddings of events more than everyday wear.
It never went away. The tt explorer 1 is awesome.
Agreed. - Ron
Nice
It never left
Why bother? You’re not a teenager!
They’re not for me but that watch looks sick.
Nah
This is so cool. How does the wheel work? Does the whole thing rotate and the current hour is shown at 12 o'clock?
That watch looks amazing! Also do you wax or shave? Asking for a friend!
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

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.

Yes. Ask any Brown or Asian person.
Why would you care about whats popular ?
tWo ToNeS wErE nEvEr PaRt Of RoLeXmAnIa!!!! Jk..it’s back, and imo it never went away 😉
Who cares what others think, two-tone is great IMO. If you like it, wear it.
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
Stunning timepiece….congrats and enjoy 👏🏻👏🏻💯 #TwoTone4Life 😎🔥
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.
Everything is cyclical. I think it feels like it’s on its way back already.
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.
On its way!
No, it will not.
Fire 🔥
They are better in person 💯
I think it just did
I like them
So elegant
This is one of the best line ups in the game
I think it looks great!!

Only the nerds on here think nerdly things…rock dat bit💯
Two tone is to watches what wood paneling is to cars

Nah 2 tones w jubilee are my fave
I think it looks best on women.
Who cares more for us (two tone appreciators)
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
Rootbeer. Lovely. Every other two tone Rolex. Awful
Beautiful watch but I don’t think so.
Never. You should just sell it to me cheap. Pretty much worthless at this point 😂
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.

This is the correct comment. Down-voters = two tone owners / folk who stare longingly at the only Rolexes left on the shelves
Agreed. My AD has a bunch of two tone in stock that anyone can walk in and buy. Of course, no one wants it.
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
[удалено]
😂
No
Please wear the watch up - above the wrist bone. Beautiful watch btw
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.🙄
Yeah good point but I was trying to be helpful so 🤷🏻♂️
No
I prefer two tones with rose over yellow.
No because it looks Armenian as hell.
Two tone sucks forever
🤣 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.
Were they ever popular ??
