This is my third purchase in 2 weeks. Am i crazy? probably.

One thing I was really happy with is that I did not have to do adjustments of any sorts on any of the 3 bracelets. My wrists were just the right size, not too snug and not too loose! No other watch brands deliver to my wrist size like that. Maybe that's a sign?

No striptease on this thread because frankly I have gotten tired of staring at cardboard boxes and rolex box lids. I think this has quelled my craving for now. When I first got it, I thought I had gotten yellow gold but it seems the Everose in certain lighting really does look yellow. I think I scared DavidSW a bit more than I was worried when I told him I thought I got a YG model

. When my sister saw it she was

all over it. The watch was delayed a day due to mechanical issues on a fedex plane but here it is

(some of the pics really does make it look like yellow gold I think due to me not exactly having the best of cameras and I have yellow colored light bulbs in my house. The color seems to lean more towards orange than pink to me

)

Congratulations on your new watch & the new trio....all very sharp.

It's a real stunner with he red accents.

Brenngun · 20 August 2010, 07:53 AM

Nice watch. Congrats.

I think the turn-o-graph is one of the most underated of the line.

JJ Irani · 20 August 2010, 07:55 AM

Actually its completely red date no black like the roulettes

I really love the contrast between the red and white, its just right

sturgeon123456 · 20 August 2010, 07:54 AM

I will keep that in mind if I ever win the jackpot and maybe even buy you a second Platinum Yacht so you and your wife can have one each!

Not really, I just went on a long awaited binge. I've been drooling over certain watches since I was 16 or so. Decided now is a good time since I'll be turning 19 next month. If i won the jackpot I would buy the entire rolex line lol

antivenin · 20 August 2010, 08:04 AM

Always bet on red!!!

rfknauss · 20 August 2010, 08:06 AM

Ritchie, congratulations and that is an awesome collection you have!

dligg72 · 20 August 2010, 08:13 AM

I love it! What a gorgeous watch. I love the Red date a second hand.

sleddog · 20 August 2010, 09:22 AM

Dont have an idea yet

I don't have any particular desire for another watch right now..... well... maybe WG meteorite daytona.... must resist.......

FremStar · 20 August 2010, 11:54 AM

I am glad you picked up the Turn-O-Graph in Everose. Instant classic and collectible as it has been discontinued by Rolex!!! Enjoy your collection but something tells me you are not done yet since SW is on speed dial

I think i'll be content for the next few months or so at least, I hope. I plan to get my mom a nice watch for her birthday. David might have to help me out by refusing to sell me watches for a while.

The everose received many compliments and even my mom approved when she saw it. She has never complimented a watch that doesnt have diamonds on it then again she has never seen rose gold.

dddrees · 20 August 2010, 10:07 AM

And I thought my 3 watches in 3 months was pretty fast. I bow to the master. but really heck of a collection and fine job in deed.
