Kungen99 88 Posted August 17, 2023 Hi! I have been bitten by the gold bug as it seems and is pondering wether or not I should pull the trigger on a gold or a two tone watch. Do any of you hold any experience in the matter? cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OLDBLOKE74 6,822 Posted August 18, 2023 I agree - an all gold bracelet doesn’t do it for me, I prefer 2-tone, but all gold on leather floats my boat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Red Electric 0 Posted August 18, 2023 I've had a couple of two tones, but neither looked like the real thing! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NCRich 13,751 Posted August 18, 2023 I love two tone watches and personally think the reps look great. A lot of two tone gens are just plated too. I personally have never had an issue with wearing off the plating. I’m sure it happens but generally I take off my dress two tone watches before I dig ditches. And I have 35 two tone reps. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GingerApple 7,285 Posted August 18, 2023 Two Tone are disgusting and they can be used to measure how tacky you are: 1 TT = Mistakes can happen 2TT = You classless bitch 3TT = You horror show tacky motherfucker 4TT = Etc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Because I see what looks to be that model for sale(2150) with disclaimers that some of the gold rubbed off. Maybe I've got the wrong model but its identical to yours. https://www.ebay.com/itm/185909859862?chn=ps&_trkparms=ispr%3D1&amdata=enc%3A10sDswBFxR1awwaCCQdlCPw19&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-117182-37290-0&mkcid=2&mkscid=101&itemid=185909859862&targetid=2200673878684&device=c&mktype=pla&googleloc=1027013&poi=&campaignid=19639500192&mkgroupid=147592591362&rlsatarget=pla-2200673878684&abcId=9305266&merchantid=223115961&gclid=Cj0KCQjwrfymBhCTARIsADXTabkjyKcQ1LrWz7z9XO6nOliD7gNrKSHdav68a9RHg52dBZcn6VcIkgsaAsUsEALw_wcB Wow that is a long link. I've been wrong before. Lots of them for sale. This one says the plating has worn off the bracelet. Doesn't cost enough for all that gold to be solid. https://shop.hodinkee.com/products/tag-heuer-link-cjf2150-10-10-tag-u1bc8l Its a beautiful watch though.
