Looking to add a precious metal piece but I’m afraid that there is no turning back. The weight of it is something else compared to SS. Afraid I won’t wear my SS Rolexes after buying them. Has anyone else experienced this?

mountainjogger · 15 August 2024, 10:54 PM

Totally inidvidual taste. My experience has been the opposite, going from yellow gold (many years ago) to ss. And having done so, only wearing ss.

NYG1121 · 15 August 2024, 10:57 PM

I go back and forth on this. When you first get a PM piece that is usually the thought. But over time, you learn to appreciate both.

padi56 · 15 August 2024, 10:59 PM

I'mSpeaking for myself would never buy any precious metal watches no matter the brand or weight,like my watches in plain SS.

KevNev · 15 August 2024, 10:59 PM

I love my yellow gold sub and Oysterflex Daytona, but still thoroughly enjoy wearing my DJ41 with fluted bezel and jubilee.

123Blueface · 15 August 2024, 11:01 PM

I own SS, TT and PM and enjoy all equally.

Does wearing a Tom Ford suit ruin the experience of wearing Levi jeans and a $30 shirt?

rmlovett1 · 15 August 2024, 11:10 PM

Not for me. I like wearing all metals.

ScottJ · 15 August 2024, 11:12 PM

I wore a SS Daytona for 10 years....recently upgraded to the new WG Daytona....I hardly ever wear the stainless now....

Same here Peter

JRell · 15 August 2024, 11:15 PM

I had TT, so not totally PM, but prefer the look of SS way more, so for me no.

PenDelicate · 15 August 2024, 11:19 PM

I wouldn't say it "ruined my appreciation" of SS: I still appreciate SS, but I've no longer a desire to wear it.

kilyung · 15 August 2024, 11:23 PM

I prefer my gold models but frequently wear my steel ones when the mood strikes me.

Agreed.
Different watches for different occasions/places. I usually don’t wear PM to the beach, for example

watchwatcher · 15 August 2024, 11:29 PM

Not at all. Both metals are fantastic in their own right.

jgottsman11 · 15 August 2024, 11:37 PM

I have zero desire to wear anything SS anymore

Calatrava r · 15 August 2024, 11:40 PM

I prefer gold over steel but wear them all when the mood strikes.

KatGirl · 16 August 2024, 12:03 AM

I paid a premium for my TT, and I love it. But I’m most comfortable wearing my SS watches. I have neither the desire or the pocketbook for a full PM watch. That’s brand new car money, to me, so not worth it.

Why is the weight of precious metal considered a good thing? Please explain.

Good analogy

ltmgeller · 16 August 2024, 12:20 AM

I'd be lying if I said it didn't. I love my stainless pieces, but there's something about PM that is almost intoxicating. The weight, the feel, the appearance, its just really moves me. I definitely favor my pm pieces.

Kinnakeet · 16 August 2024, 12:22 AM

No. I appreciate them all down to my g shock.

Jake Sully · 16 August 2024, 12:23 AM

No they dont take away from Stainless, just adds to the enjoyment.

t65tampa · 16 August 2024, 12:53 AM

I have noticed that I am more likely to wear my white gold Daytona 116509 over my stainless steel Daytona 126500. I love both of them, but I like the feel the gold version gives me.

I'd much rather wear the Levi and T-shirt.

Wilco68 · 16 August 2024, 12:57 AM

Shouldn’t do at all. Will give you options depending on how you’re dressed / what you’re doing at any given time.

My TT I view as a dress ‘occasion’ watch, & SS’s work or casual.

MRBolton · 16 August 2024, 01:07 AM

It did at first. Now I enjoy all watches again.

I have to admit there is a bit of this!!! I love all of my watches but the PMs are amazing.
Beware of Rolex Platinums…..You might never go back!!!

Enjoy all of them, they are great!
