To all of the owners of all gold Rolex: what happens after you purchase one? Do you still want to wear SS or upgrade the entire collection to gold? I can only imagine after wearing one and experiencing the heft it would be difficult to go back...?

Racerdj · 27 August 2015, 09:43 AM

Upgrade but I was warned by several this might happen.

Start going after haute horology.

I have 5 digit day date and 16710 gmt II, and it's a perfect combo for me. You get in a gold mood so you roll with it for a while. Then you switch it up with SS.

I tend to wear the gmt more often (for various reasons), but I will always own and happily wear a day date. I've only had my bark president for a few years, but if it's been a bit since I last wore it, I still get that new watch excitement when I strap it on. It's the only watch that can still do that.

Makes wearing a SS seem like a toy; a lot to be said about the heft of a PM watch.

Rolex addict · 27 August 2015, 10:04 AM

I bought the smurf and still wear SS. However, I am saving for platinum. PM is AWESOME!!!!!!!!

AS1 · 27 August 2015, 10:06 AM

Still wear and appreciate SS pieces that I already own, but am much more likely to buy PM instead of SS in future as a result of the ownership experience

This describes my experience as well.

This is where I am currently at. Although, I would me more than content to just have my DD as the only PM piece in my collection. I must admit that after getting it, the want to purchase others seem to have lessened.

Sub/GMT · 27 August 2015, 10:15 AM

Love to wear my WG Smurf and I wear that one a lot. But still love to wear my black Sub and TT GMT also

Thunderbird88 · 27 August 2015, 10:21 AM

I put it in it's box and kept using my TT Root Beer ;)

RMC12 · 27 August 2015, 10:29 AM

I bought my Hulk, Smurf and then my 1680 in that order. Each get equal wrist time and I reckon my next purchase will be to replace my BLNR that I flipped for my smurf.

Who knows what will grab your attention next!!

I do not know, I have just this one

up2nogood · 27 August 2015, 10:55 AM

I still wear the all gold pieces in rotation. Depends on mood and most of the watches I like don't come in gold anyway.

jdmi32 · 27 August 2015, 12:14 PM

I enjoy gold watches but SS will always be the mainstay of my collection.

sturgeon123456 · 27 August 2015, 12:20 PM

Going gold with Rolex......led me to want to go to platinum....specifically the Platona.

Then I decided to try something different and try different brands. AP, Patek etc

So essentially going gold with Rolex made me move on to other brands.

el1125 · 27 August 2015, 12:49 PM

You continue to upgrade to Platinum

tkerrmd · 27 August 2015, 01:20 PM

Once I got the feel of full gold, I really loved the weight and so my SS models were worn less and less. I enjoyed the weight so much it pushed me to Platinum and now that is my favorite metal.....

If you own a Ferrari doesn't mean you drive it to the gym.

Lol nicely put.

I can't say I speak out of experience, as I don't own a PM yet, but I think there is a right watch for every occasion.
Celebratory occasions, night outs, etc, it is nice to wear the PM.
For activities, beach, gym(if you use yours at the gym), sports, I would use SS.
It's light and cost me less and will hurt less if it takes the wrong hit somewhere.
