Went to the AD the other day and tried on the DDII RG. Is it just me or you guys also think that it blends with my skin tone & doesn't look nice? I think RG is for lighter skin tones?... What do you think?

Yellow Gold, White Gold or Platinum may be better for your skin tone IMO

Doesnt look good on you. If you have olive skin YG is king.

Here, I have more of a tan in one picture than the other. You can see how it makes the. YG pop.

Here is the RG with some Florida tan. I think the RG looks fine with your skin tone. You might want to see it in natural light. There seems to be so few RG Rolex in the wild!

When trying both on, the sales group thought the RG looked rich. You must go with your gut feeling. Thanks to Dr. Tom for this idea for a picture!

Kokoshawnuff · 14 November 2014, 08:33 AM

I have to agree, it's a little too close to your skin tone, the dial almost gets lost.

Muzz · 14 November 2014, 08:35 AM

I think RG looks fantastic on tanned skin!! As mentioned, maybe lighting. My wife is medium complextion and RG looks perfect on her.

My skin tone and the DDII are not that dissimilar but I never look at or notice my wrist when gazing at that beautiful dial.

Well, try on the white gold one... that might look better. I would avoid the yellow gold and would rather have it blend with my skin over wearing yellow gold ;p

It looks too similar to your skin tone. I would go back to the AD & take pics of all the metals. Study them when you are able to.

1995akcoop · 14 November 2014, 12:59 PM

go yg

autohorology · 14 November 2014, 01:03 PM

Biased as I own two rose Rolexes, but for what it's worth I am VERY lightly complected.

AK-Rolestar · 14 November 2014, 01:07 PM

I think Yellow Gold suits you much better! But can't go wrong with any DDII, but I much prefer yours.

Rogdogg · 14 November 2014, 01:10 PM

I agree, it does look very similar to your skin tone. I have seen rose gold on tanned skin many times but have never seen it look as similar in tone as it does on you. Could it just be the lighting in the AD?
I have to admit I think the WG or YG might be the better option in this instance. However, in saying that, it doesn't look bad. The DDII cannot look bad haha. IMO it just comes down to whether it will bother you every time you look at it.
Spending that much on a watch you need to love it, not have an issue in the back of your mind which might affect that.
Good luck with your decision.

Sammk · 14 November 2014, 03:59 PM

i really liked the RG and was gonna go for the RG until I tried it on. If a brand new is lookng like this, a dull one (after a couple of years use) would probably look worse. Went with the YG instead

Sammk · 14 November 2014, 04:00 PM

I think in this loghting if I was wearing a RG you wouldn't be able to even see it

crowncollection · 14 November 2014, 05:09 PM

Certainly does not stand out on you. The watch still looks fantastic to me.

The YG suits you very well....great choice.

408cissss · 15 November 2014, 03:02 AM

I think it looks great!!

Time Exposure · 15 November 2014, 03:24 AM

My skin tone is fair/reddish and Everose gets lost. I'm surprised at how it looks on your skin which is darker than mine. You must have reddish tones, or else it's the lights. Either way I'm sorry to say it is not complimentary. My opinion only, and I encourage you to follow your own opinion of course!

Psmith · 15 November 2014, 05:36 AM

Looks good to me

00pumpkin · 15 November 2014, 05:58 AM

YG all the way!

Sammk · 15 November 2014, 07:04 AM

Dvenus11 · 15 November 2014, 08:39 AM

i think yellow gold would look good on your skin tone

CassiusNZ · 30 November 2014, 12:02 PM

I like that it blends with my skin tone.. doesn't draw as much attention.. which at 29 I like! Love the RG DD2!
