yellow gold owners- whats your favorite combo

Hi guys,
Now that its finally vacation, I have time to think about luxuary problems like what to wear with my golden rolex.
I was wondering what combinations of shirt or sweaters you prefer. Pictures would be appreciated. Unfortunatly I can't post any because my computer has a virus and can't access Photobucket. I'm posting via my mobile telephone.
My usual wear with my 116718 is a cream lambs wool sweater. I also wear a black sweater as well which contrasts nicely with the golden glow of the oyster bracelet. I was thinking about buying a yellow shirt or sweater as well..?
Let's see some nice combo's for the holiday season.
Thanks,
Pete

My 116718 is worn with strictly street wear or when I am on vacation! Not something I would wear to work, though I have done that once...

Gold looks great with anything, even scruffy camo shorts

My Favorites

The first yellow gold watch I ever considered and finally bought



Got bored after a year and changed the face and hands, ready to change back now I think



Been waiting for years to see one of these in person at an AD. Probably good I haven't, saved me some $$$$$, rose gold though

That is the cool thing about a gold Rolex is that they look awesome with anything you wear.

Joel, I have worn my 116718 actually once to work, see pic below, however, for my office setting, I think it is a little too loud.



I tend to favor my S.S. models for work...

I need to take newer pics with clothes. They're all mostly wrist shots.
