Two Tone Speedmaster

[rw16610]

Saw this today and had to share. Although I'm not typically a big fan of two-tone watches, I do like the dial options. For me though I wish Omega was somehow able to extend the 18k Gold to the clasp so it blends in better. I've looked at other models and felt the same but this is a lovely watch otherwise in my opinion.

Not my style, but definitely a looker! You buying that? Are you a sandwich guy? I love speedys a lot - but, there are so many variations like Daytona’s.

wario For me as much as I like the Speedmaster it doesn't suit my passion for watersports the way some other pieces do.

I enjoy looking at two tone watches but also can't see myself actually getting one. For once I'm rather content with what I have, but can assure you at some stage I'll eventually get another watch.

I like the rose gold TT model. The color combo speaks to me more than the YG TT version. That said, the only TT I’ve considered buying is the Rolex RG TT GMT. I saw it in person in NYC and loved it - even Laurie did. That was a sexy watch.

It truly is a really nice piece and I like how over the years Rolex has for a very long time made it so the clasp has gold on it as well. This completes the look I feel.

True, BUT there have been multiple reports of the gold on the TT clasp popping off. I guess it’s just glued or epoxied onto the SS and if hit hard enough, it can fall off the clasp.

Oh man, I didn't know that. I guess it has always been an overlay, but never thought it would happen. For me also the drawback to two tone is what exposure to chlorine does to it over time.
