I wish rolex would trend set with something called maybe "rich gold" (a rolex exclusive ;)". Halfway between rose gold and yellow gold. Of the watch guys I know, most think yellow is a little too "brassy" and rose is a little too "coppery". I'm in that camp.

What do you guys think? Would you buy a "rich gold" submariner. Yellow gold with a little more copper (and some platinum to stabilize it)...

Merry Christmas & happy holidays all!

what do they call it? I've only seen their pink gold and yellow gold. Their pink is very coppery... Looks great, just very coppery.

My K-Serial rose-gold Day-Date 118235 may be that in-between gold color. The rose-gold on new Rolex watches in my AD's display is definitely a darker color.

Drool worthy.

I'm digging that 118235 as well. Personally, I'd like to see it. I like Rolex's yellow gold but find the everrose to coppery for my taste, save the for ceramic daytona on strap.

I'm an equal color lover of any gold.

regnant · 25 December 2016, 11:51 PM

I think you would like A Lange Sohne's pink gold in their lingo �� comb gold. It's neither too coppery nor too yellowish tone

iLLGT2 · 26 December 2016, 04:48 AM

i find a lot of the time i look down at my YMII and it has a coppery hue to it, and I find the yellow sub/gmt has more yellow look to it
I love them all :)

I have noticed that the older RG are less copper colored...

Don't get me wrong, I'm with you. I like Rolex YG & RG (and WG), I would just like that additional color. Kind of like the "apricot" gold color you see used for some jewelry.

I just saw the honey gold ALS on Hodinkee. I love the color. That was exactly the concept I was looking for. Thanks!

that is an awesome timepiece. a few years ago i gifted myself with a steel/gold submariner. i'm sorry now i didn't go with solid gold but i didn't have the scratch. now that i'm in a better financial position i may have to seriously reconsider it.

Wow, that is very sharp!

I think it's on it's way - in Dec. 2015 Rolex released 3 rose gold patents

kunlun · 1 January 2017, 05:49 AM

Breguet and FPJ make exactly that color gold.

AP does not.

Omar333 · 1 January 2017, 07:12 AM

What about this one ?

I had been thinking I'd like to see a very soft yellow gold, between the current YG and WG. Would be great for those looking for a little more subtlety.

1William · 1 January 2017, 11:00 PM

As an addition to the YG, RG it would be OK. I am not sure what the market would support. For me, no one does YG better than Rolex.

Someone posted that the new DD40 YG is a different color that a YG yacht master. Can someone confirm that? Thanks!
