looking fantastic !

I’ve enjoyed your posts on this watch the last few days! The watch looks spectacular to me. When I owned my 116713, I wore it with all kinds of outfits, from suits to shorts and a tee, but this watch looks far more subtle to me. Love it.

It’s lovely. Thanks for sharing.

nyc2la · 14 May 2018, 05:17 AM

Congrats and it looks great!

Totally agree it's perfect with jeans and a t-shirt.

Hey, you know, its a Florida thing.

Ironically, we spend multiple weeks every summer in the bahamas, and no one wears tommy bahama there.

I've been duped.

Congrats. I love it.

The more of the rose gold I see, the more I like it. I've been eying the TT rose gold and SS Yachtmaster with the chocolate dial.

Rose gold, at least Rolex' version has always intrigued me. But, I can tell you this. And this is just me...

When i was buying my DD40, I initially was drawn to the rose gold/green dial. I was sure i'd love it. But the moment I put it on, I was like....nope. Wayyy too much rose for me. Same for the rose gold solid GMT.

The reason this works so well, is its not overused. Very strategic. Well done.

And as far as comparing this to the two tone yellow GMT II? Which I am NOT a fan of ( though I know many are. Ditto for the Black/Yellow sub)

The thing that makes this better to me? The bezel number color. The rose gold tones of the numbers are FAR less blaring. They don't take away from the dial. They just blend.

Interesting! I'm between getting this TT or the DD40 with rose/green dial. Great insight.

jrs146 · 14 May 2018, 07:31 AM

Congrats. I’d have bet all my watches I’d never buy a TT but this one may prove me wrong!

I'm just a nice guy and a great customer.

I think being a nice guy and being pleasant is over half the battle in life.

I also threatened to firebomb his car, but I don't think that had much to do with it. ( i'm kidding. Just threatened to slash his tires)

Congratulations, wear it in good health.

Just a side note: in some cases Red / Rose gold is *not* subtle. In fact, it's more of an attention grabber than yellow gold.

Case in point, my rose gold ring. I bought this ring because the rose gold looked really cool and was rather unique at the time. (Mid 1980s) It's not a huge ring and doesn't have any stones. But subtle? It's about as subtle as a sledge hammer.

Every time, and I mean *every single time* I wear my ring, someone remarks on it. Always complimentary but I dislike being the center of attention even if it's for a few seconds. That's just me but I wouldn't have purchased it had I known. YMMV.

You have a large watch, trimmed with highlights of rose gold and manufactured by the world renowned luxury watch maker Rolex. That sounds like a recipe for comments if I ever heard one. Time will tell if you get comments and rest assured, people will be complementary, but it won't fly under the radar. And, it shouldn't it's a sublime piece. I guess just be aware of your surroundings and keep a few long sleeved shirts handy.

Enjoy your new watch and thanks for posting pix. My AD hasn't even seen one in person yet.

Best,
Mark

I didn't find this on my RG and YG Rolexes, the RG can wash out in the sun and look like SS so I bet this looks all SS outdoors a lot of the time. The YG is far more striking.

I suspect you got comments because RG on a ring is unusual. I had a RG Cartier ring and no one noticed.

Thanks for your post.

I think I may have come across as wanting the piece to be subtle. That wasn't my intention. I have no problem with its bling. Hell, I have no problem walking around with my full gold sub or AP's. What I was trying to say is, this piece is so sublimely attention grabbing, yet so very cool and subtle. Its not yellow gold, its not pink. Its just, perfect. Its so different that when you look down at it, you say....."wow. Thats different".

Theres much that makes it different, things that don't translate in pictures. The rose gold use in the minute plots, the hands, etc....They don't translate until you have one on. Then they hit you VERY often. Its really, really different than yellow.

In a most unique way.

Really, a home run.

psv · 14 May 2018, 08:17 AM

Here is an idea: put a ss Sub/SD bracelet on that - it will tone if way down but you'll still have the beauty of that rosegold hands on the dial.
