Icon12 I Tried On a Rose Today

What do you think of this rose gold on me. My hubby just asked me what I want for my birthday but the price on this is steep. I may have to wait till my big birthday in a few years. I wear a lot of platinum jewelry and I am not a fan of yellow gold. I think this one is nice but I am not sure if I should get another Rolex as I already have 2 in 26mm and this RG is 26mm too. Please note that I can`t wear a 31mm as my wrist is tiny.

Here is a picture of the RG and my 2 watches.

Thanks in advance.

RG all the way. They are such pretty watches, and you can pull it off.

FYI, that will be the watch I buy and store it for when my daughter gets married. Just a stunner!

I think it looks awesome. A little contrast offers greater variety when you want to switch it up.

Have you considered rather getting a two tone in RG/SS? More versatile in terms of your white metal jewelry and easier on the wallet too!

I'm personally not a fan of brown dials but its all about what makes you happy!

I would really consider the slightly larger "mid-size". You may think your wrist is too small but it will grow on you. Wife has very petite wrist and she is now wearing a 36mm. Cheers.

That watch looks gorgeous on you. If your husband is willing to get it for you for your birthday then I would jump all over it.

I love the all rose gold model but that would be a lovely idea as well! Well worth a thought!

Thanks everyone for your feedback. The chocolate dial and the diamonds on VI ara stunning! I am really drawn to the chocolate dial, it goes very well with the rose gold. Now I just need to think about the price tag.

Looks great on you. Like Sam said, can't beat RG with chocolate dial and it would be a nice addition to your collection. I wear a lot of RG with WG, silver etc and you can definitely make it work ;) Now time to negotiate lol And...the diamonds do compliment your right quite well!!

I love this watch on you! As mentioned earlier I think you will find that you will like the addition of adding in some color. I think it looks amazing even with the bling on our finger :D

A rose gold Rolex.

And a lot of rose gold accessories to go with it.

Sounds like a fantastic plan.

They all look great on your wrist.
