To all of the owners of all gold Rolex: what happens after you purchase one? Do you still want to wear SS or upgrade the entire collection to gold? I can only imagine after wearing one and experiencing the heft it would be difficult to go back...?

Racerdj · 27 August 2015, 09:43 AM

Upgrade but I was warned by several this might happen.

jjnd08 · 27 August 2015, 09:46 AM

Start going after haute horology.

rbl · 27 August 2015, 09:46 AM

I have 5 digit day date and 16710 gmt II, and it's a perfect combo for me. You get in a gold mood so you roll with it for a while. Then you switch it up with SS.

I tend to wear the gmt more often (for various reasons), but I will always own and happily wear a day date. I've only had my bark president for a few years, but if it's been a bit since I last wore it, I still get that new watch excitement when I strap it on. It's the only watch that can still do that.

This was my first PM Rolex and then I bought two others. Not sure I will buy an SS again.

metooxx · 27 August 2015, 10:01 AM

Makes wearing a SS seem like a toy; a lot to be said about the heft of a PM watch.

Rolex addict · 27 August 2015, 10:04 AM

I bought the smurf and still wear SS. However, I am saving for platinum. PM is AWESOME!!!!!!!!

AS1 · 27 August 2015, 10:06 AM

Still wear and appreciate SS pieces that I already own, but am much more likely to buy PM instead of SS in future as a result of the ownership experience

Dyim · 27 August 2015, 10:14 AM

Still go back and wear DJ, DSSD......different watches for different occasions.

Sub/GMT · 27 August 2015, 10:15 AM

Love to wear my WG Smurf and I wear that one a lot. But still love to wear my black Sub and TT GMT also

Thunderbird88 · 27 August 2015, 10:21 AM

I don't really like PM watches but I like that Bark Day-Date!

RMC12 · 27 August 2015, 10:29 AM

I bought my Hulk, Smurf and then my 1680 in that order. Each get equal wrist time and I reckon my next purchase will be to replace my BLNR that I flipped for my smurf.

Who knows what will grab your attention next!!

THC · 27 August 2015, 10:47 AM

I do not know, I have just this one

up2nogood · 27 August 2015, 10:55 AM

I still wear the all gold pieces in rotation. Depends on mood and most of the watches I like don't come in gold anyway.

jdmi32 · 27 August 2015, 12:14 PM

I enjoy gold watches but SS will always be the mainstay of my collection.

Me too!

sturgeon123456 · 27 August 2015, 12:20 PM

Going gold with Rolex......led me to want to go to platinum....specifically the Platona.

Then I decided to try something different and try different brands. AP, Patek etc

So essentially going gold with Rolex made me move on to other brands.

el1125 · 27 August 2015, 12:49 PM

You continue to upgrade to Platinum

tkerrmd · 27 August 2015, 01:20 PM

Once I got the feel of full gold, I really loved the weight and so my SS models were worn less and less. I enjoyed the weight so much it pushed me to Platinum and now that is my favorite metal.....

Timsen · 27 August 2015, 01:34 PM

If you own a Ferrari doesn't mean you drive it to the gym.

ROLEX4EvEr · 27 August 2015, 02:37 PM

I went all Gold and can't look back from a DDII added a YMII and now a SD YG

U5512 · 27 August 2015, 03:36 PM

Progression after going gold...

1) Gold Rolex President watch
2) AARP Card
3) Medicare
4) Dementia
5) Nursing Home
6) RIP

jon_jon · 27 August 2015, 03:36 PM

There are some who jump directly to a Platinum Rolex while bypassing a gold Rolex altogether.

Hairdude1 · 27 August 2015, 03:44 PM

I have gravitated toward more Gold, however still wear all in my collection

kilyung · 27 August 2015, 04:26 PM

When you buy PM, it's the price barrier that's the biggest adjustment. After you've spent $20k+ on a PM Rolex, $30k for a Patek or Lange doesn't seem so outlandish.
