Buy it! I'll hunt you down and steal it from you. Seriously, it's really beautiful and I'm not really a gold fan.

Too blingy and ostentatious

That’s right, with incoming tax it’s more expensive than buying at my local German AD, however this was the first time to see it in the flesh anywhere...

It’s interesting how many are giving advice on my attire, next time I’ll make sure too precheck before with my wife (indeed I have one) before posting

Sorry I am terrible at helping people not buy a Rolex.
But thanks for trying

I went back there today and put on the Everose, which looked like a stealth watch for me, seems like I have the exact everose skin tone...

See pics below, I remember one member showing his everose SD lately, it looked so much better on his wrist...

I have to admit, that thought crossed my mind, being age 42, this could be the watch for my 50th...

You could buy a very nice car for the same amount of money.

You could buy your wife/friend/partner a very nice watch and have money left over.

It doesn't do anything that a stainless steel watch can do (i.e. tell you what time it is).

Seriously, when presented with something like this, I force myself to walk away and think about it. Go back tomorrow and see if you still feel the same way. It's a whole bunch of money for what is basically a frivolous purchase of jewelry, and if you tire of it, you will get hammered on resale value.
Sound advice, thanks!

DO IT, BRO!

Then go buy a new convertible Bentley to properly live the life of the titan you are with that watch.

Destiny awaits, friend. You are ready.
The Bentley will probably not match with my Lambo and Ferrari

If you're looking for a legitimate reason on why to pass...Consider the RG + slate dial model as an alternative. If I were to go full PM SkyD, I would go with that one.

I am the last person to talk someone else out of a watch purchase of any sorts... Just ask my handler, she'll state it clearly... :)

uh...cost?

Too many Datejust-looking watches, all with a pinkish-yellowish tint, in your collection.

Final quote was 35Teur, but add VAT for Germany of 19%

I got various SS models as well, DEepsea, 3 Panerais, omega, Sinn, etc. but I do have a Faible for the classic DJ look...
