i have a question about the smurf to all owners: does the colour of the gold change over time?

i see this one for sale, it's about 4 years old and the metal looks like it's turning from white to yellow gold:

I think that is just the lighting, though the white gold does have a 'warmer' feel to it than the steel models.

I think it's the lighting. Rolex most likely uses noble metals only for WG. ? I think there's a thread on this.

Palladium and Platinum mixes in Rolex's gold watches should prevent any discolouration.

Every morning I have put my watch on and smiled. One of those personal smiles of contentment. I did this for me.

Eight days and counting.

Great watch and fantastic photo

I've been wearing my Smurf pretty much daily since I got it just under 6 months ago. This is coming from a guy who used to wear a different watch just about every day!
