despite what the watch industry says is trendy, does anyone actually own/like two-tone?
Re: despite what the watch industry says is trendy, does anyone actually own/like two-tone?
I think the pre-ceramic two tone Rolex Sub in blue is a beautiful watch. I have a good friend who's had one for years and I never get tired of seeing it. I find the ceramic version a bit too blingy for my taste, but I feel the same way about the stainless version.
I'm not sold on the Tudor S&G from the pictures, but I have yet to see one IRL, so I'll reserve judgment.

Had a two-tone/blue dial Invicta Pro back in the day that was so blingy and cheesy, it was actually fun to wear.

One of my first watches was a two tone Navitimer, and I really liked it. It was on leather, so at least it wasn't on a blingy bracelet. I've also had a couple Golden Tunas. None of them lasted long though. In general I'm not a big fan of two tone, but there are several in this thread I like.

I like it, though I’ve never actually bought a two tone.

One that I really regret selling.. I'd definitely rock it if I still had it..

This is my daily beater. Wear it to work with suits, weekends with jeans and t-shirts and my 3 month old son usually pukes on it at least once a day.
It works on a strap. Might be a bit too blingy if it was on a steel/18k bracelet.

Yellow gold feels crass for some reason, but couldn't agree more about the YM on rubber. That thing is straight-up sex.

Not for the most part, but I am talking to a guy with a Tudor gold/SS Black Bay (not on the bracelet, which is too much for me) - I guess this one slipped by me as I'm just seeing in recently and quite like it.
On a more affordable level, I might pick up one of the new Orient Tritons in this configuration, just because...

I missed my 1675 Pepsi and the prices have gone too high to find a replacement. I picked up a matte dial root beer which is two-tone for a nice price, added a TT jubilee and have enjoyed wearing it. It is the only Rolex I have owned that my wife has liked and asked to borrow.
PS: It goes back into the safe each night that she wears it. I haven't seen the Precista Italian or a Brew watch since she started wearing them.

Not for me.. The BB58 is an example of the maximum amount of gold tone/gilt.

I've realized that I quite enjoy 2 tone watch heads (like the Golden Tunas and Omega Seamaster examples above).
What I dislike - for sure - is 2 tone bracelets.
That 2 tone Tudor looks great on the black NATO but I don't care for it on the two tone bracelet
