If you aren't prepared to hop on the two-tone bandwagon, here's a fair warning that there aren't many seats left. Sure, the bi-metal combination is heavily associated with the 1980s, but the layover into the 1990s cannot be – and will not be – understated. One of the most popular and emblematic examples is the two-tone Datejust. It's a timeless watch for crying out loud, the quintessential Rolex in many ways. Are you ready to hop on the wagon yet?
Today, we're looking at a TTDJ from the '90s with all the hallmarks you'd expect from the 36mm stunner – the gold fluted bezel, gold crown, and bi-metal jubilee bracelet working against the classic Oyster case.
You don't need to work on Wall Street or look like Richard Gere to pull off this watch (though if you're either of those things … congrats). Today on The Spec Sheet we're celebrating blazers with shoulder pads, and the two-tone Datejust.
