The blue faced Rolex two-tone is what originally got me interested in watches in the first place! It was the watch to have during the late 80's, and early 90's !

I never paid attention to Rolex until I saw that one.

[FONT=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]I absolutely love the two-tone look, especially with the Rolex blue-face gold/steel. However, I've read even on GEN forums that it is a rather "dated look"? What do you think? I think that it's classic, but I have read many a thread say that it is an 'old-man' look :p

Let's discuss![/FONT]

I have read that so many times too, OK I admit I am in my late 40's but I think it is classy and I never fell in love with the new ceramic. It is different stroke for different folks I guess. It was a young fella called QueTip who is responsible for getting me into the bluesy in the first place.
