Absolutely sexy! Love the full rose gold and if I had more of a budget when I got the TT, I would have grabbed this! Wear it in the best of health.

I came across the full Everose GMT while looking at what they did have and was drawn immediately by the beautiful rich brown and reddish tones. I've always assumed a GMT was too big of a case size for my small wrists. After putting it on I was sold but I came in look for a 5-6k watch and my heart was set on some 6x more. That was a week ago, and it was still on my mind so I pulled the trigger today and I have no regrets. What a beauty and a great first Rolex. Attachment 1161635
Is your wrist 6.25 inches or bigger?

Proof positive why you never, EVER, try on a PM watch.

Congrats, OP. One of my favorite modern references.

A beautiful watch. Love Everose.

A "Grand Plan" on Rolex's part to move people away from SS (due to the "shortage") to PM watches? If so, my observation is that it is working !

No kidding. If intentional kudos to that go to market team that’s executing that strategy!

Amazingly, Rolex may be better at marketing than watch building. Fantastic first purchase. Enjoy!

I had the TT Rootbeer for a while but got rid of it. While having it, I always wanted and thought about the full Everose. Hoping to pull the trigger on it someday. Enjoy the watch!

Congrats, It’s an incredibly great looking watch. I really love the softer look of RG. You will love it even more the longer you have it. I used to wear a YG DD for years, and now I have a RG DD. I really liked my RG when I first got it but now I love it. I suppose the attraction for me with the RG, it’s not in you face, so to speak. Enjoy it and wear it in the best of health. Very smart move.

Yea I was surprised at the “casual” elegance of it. The day I bought I first tried it on it was hot and I had on a pair of sport shorts, a T-shirt and some open toe sandals and it just uplifted my look but almost blended in with my arm. So I totally get what you mean about not being in your face. My 5167 on bracelet that I wore in screamed louder than this piece.

Happy you agree with my opinion on the softer feel of the RG. I really enjoyed my YG, it was my first Rolex and it will always have a special place in my heart. I have a smaller wrist as well, and the RG does really blend well with my skin tone. I also live in California, and we have the benefit of generally nice weather. I get the casual elegance, because I’m often in shorts, a nice T-shirt, sneakers and I feel very comfortable. It my opinion long pants are way overrated. Enjoy it, wear it often and don’t worry about it, after all, that is one of the reasons we buy a Rolex. They are truly and hardy and sturdy watch.
