Does anyone here prefer the steel roc to the rose gold roc on bracelet?

HI,

just curious if anyone here prefers the look of the look of the steel roc to the rose gold roc? regardless of pricing.. My thinking is even though the gold is incredible feel and weight on the wrist its not really an everyday watch and probably very fragile especially with the gold bracelet?

Even though I love the RG look, I think I prefer steel for a bracelet and RG with a rubber or leather strap to be a little "under the radar."

The RG case and bracelet are real things of beauty, however for more everyday wear I would go for the SS.

RG for sure. Yet again, determining on your daily activity and work that should be taken into consideration.

ROC RG probably my favorite AP of all time.

I have the steel ROC but the RG is my grail. Cant go wrong with SS though, especially with the $30k~ you save

Well if you are ok with the signal you give out with those kinds of watches "I am wearing years of wages on my wrist come and chop it off to get the gold" then sure I vote for the gold one

That's such sweeping cliche generalization statement. Not everyone buys an all gold watch just to show off esp many of us in here. Some do actually like it because it's an object of beauty by itself and it doesn't cost them "years of wages".

Here's my "show off all gold watch". Nobody has dared to chop my hands off yet and I don't care what you think

Absolutely...I prefer the steel anything to its PM counterpart though. Royal oak is no exception.

Ben, I think Arnaud means more that they attract more attention, esp from possible robbers as we have had a few instances here recently in the news.
