Rolex

You know that I am not a colored gold guy... In my collection, I have only one rose gold Watch, a JLC Geomatic, a piece of Watch, elegant, dressy, which came with its box and papers. Most of the time I neglect colored gold Watch, I don't even have a look ...  

.....i have more problem owning a gold Rolex than I do, say, a gold JLC. Not sure why, but I have some trouble getting my head around a gold Rolex.

I couldn't imagine myself getting a modern one in colored gold, indeed. That is also why I would necessarily remove the bracelet: It is way too much for my poor brain. ;) I think it is all about the size, my friend. Best, Nicolas

....i see Rolex as a tool watch...functional etc. The gold is a paradox in that sense.

I totally get your point. But on an aesthetical point of view, I can't get my eyes off this 6542... ;) Best, Nicolas

Although the gold sport watch doesn't make sense to most of us, Rolex has produced some wonderful gold gentleman's watches. For me, the simple and elegant design of some of the earlier pieces are beautiful, and well worth the addition to a serious collect...  

...Iceman has one that just kills me every time.

For sure Rolex is more well known for their toolwatches than dresswatches but there are quite nice exceptions (ref 1012 - 36 mm diam.). ...  

just your inexhaustible love for Rolex GMT? ;) Best my friend D

And I love gold!! :)

I prefer a full gold 1675 concorde, despite the bakelite bezel insert is beautiful. Ok, uno per uno :)

One or two steps above... But ok for the uno per uno. ;) Nicolas

This watch I would describe as nice to have NOT must have. If you have 100 nice Rolexes and are looking for something unusual I would perhaps consider this. There is something about Gold Rolexes that reminds of 'vulgarity' perhaps? Baron also stated it we... 

... excuse to brake your own "Golden Rule" my friend! PS: I was offered and had in my hands an example exactly as the one on your photo a couple of years ago. Of course its price exceeded Dexter Morgans budget and had to le it go. But it was a magnificent... 

We'll see... Un abrazo, Amigo! Nicolas

... but I enjoy it so much though! Un abrazo Nicolas! Abel, Dexter from the Pampas. ...  

A very rare Cartier double name Master Mariner. This is an original piece with Cartier serial stamped on the reverse lug. Unique in it's own right, and like many of the rare gold Rolex, well worth having in a balanced collection. However... this is a Role...  

These Master Mariner watches have really something. And the double signature is a cherry on an already delicious cake. About JLC Cartier watches, there are two which are on the top for me: The Memovox, and the Reverso. Both vintage, of course. Best! Nicol... 

If somebody likes yellow gold this 6542 is the top level !! And S&L is the cherry on the cake. FYI long ago I ownned this one ......... I know it's not a bakelite bezel but it was a nice look even if I don't wear colored gold anymore. ...
