What's intriguing about these photos is the clear color variation . . .
. . . between the rose gold case and the plated movement. The only reason I can think of (other than different compositions of rose gold) is that the movement plates are constructed from brass, which might tend to highlight the reddish tones over the rest of the spectrum, but then the color of the engraved script is more nearly consistent with the case, so I'm back to square one. Can you shed any light on this, Roger? Thanks, Art
in love with rose
i used to think i would always wear white metal cased watches, meaning steel, white gold, platinum etc... not anymore it seems the 2 watches below have seen the most wrist time the past few weeks and here are some pics to try and explain why... just pure ...
There's something 'Olde Worlde' about RG...
...that seems to work particularly well with more traditionally stlyled watches; ...with the occasional exception that proves the rule, of course: (watch courtesy Omega boutique, Sydney) Cheers, pplater....
I only have one RG piece
and it is actually New World, a massive(although smaller than a Egizano ) Waltham Pocket Watch. I don't have a pic of it, but I'll try to take something tonight. A

Hey, when did you become a Freak?
Did I miss the announcement? It seems like just January that you were talking about trying to find a Freak, and it looks like you found one. Congratulations! Welcome to the Freaky club. She's a beauty in rose gold, I agree. Tell us more... respo
there's something about RG that gives it a classic look
yellow gold from the earlier part of the 20th century had more copper in it than it does now so it had a rose gold look and that is i think why we are attracted to RG. manufacturers seem to release their 'heritage' pieces in RG for this reason. i have sev...

There is supposedly some standardisation of colors, but...
I can find no evidence of it on the market. Especially the colors of plated gold and solid gold are very different. I have had 5N plating done which is very much redder than the 5N cases I have seen. It isn't because of the brass as there is a nickel laye...
Not yet an owner of a RG piece, but if one day it happens
It may be with this Legend: Small, discrete, understated... The RG enhances its beauty, and, yes, in this case, I may make an exception... Best and thanks ofr this excellent post, Raph. Nicolas This message has been edited by amanico on 2009-04-12 22:50:4...
