I tried this on today. Never really went for gold jewelry but man this looks good on my wrist.

Channeling my inner Tony Soprano. ;)

No GPS clock on that thing? It's Saturday! :p

I know, I didn't unscrew the crown to wind it or set the time/day/date. I just put it on my wrist and took a pic while wearing it around a bit. ;)

If you don't wear them they do stop after a couple days if fully wound. I love automatic watch movements and Rolex makes some really nice ones.

Yes. If that didn't say Rolex on it, I would've thought it was a Seiko or Citizen. If I was buying gold watch, I would buy this rose gold watch.

Really? I don't think it's that bad. It's not like it is encrusted with diamonds.

It's just a gold wristwatch.
It's the cuts in the bezel to make it sparkle. That's a trick to make cheap things look expensive(not that rolex is cheap).

I'm not crazy about rose gold. Haven't gotten into AP or PP watches yet. Never say never though. ;)

I love gold. If I bought expensive watch, it would made out of gold. But that gold Rolex is ugly and boring.

That's fine. I don't agree with your opinion but I accept it. :thumbsup:

I think it's a gorgeous watch.

Its purty but looks like it's tight on your arm. And to be cooler wear it military style, in case you're crawling around in the jungle the VC won't see the glint off your watch face..

I used to always wear a watch before, usually rock a Timex. :p Now days though I don't bother as the time is available everywhere. I guess now days it's more of a piece of jewelry than an utility.

I remember when calculator watches were a thing and it was a huge deal because it could in theory enable you to cheat on a math test. :p

I think it just looks tight in the pic, it fit my wrist perfectly actually. It didn't feel tight at all.

It looks good if the look you are going for is old money.
