My AD has offered this one in RG to my wife
A few days ago - we still have to see it in person but I guess she will take this DD after declining two other bling-bling pieces by R. However, only as a bundle with something being presented next year š
Imo it looks better in RG than in WG, I prefer the contrast with the sapphires that way. Merry Christmas!
A Christmassy Rolex (itās not mine, at least for now)
Happy Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone celebrating. Iāve been trying to see this Day Date in the metal for most of this year. Most ADs I have asked have never seen one, and even the larger ones (Bucherer in NYC, WoS Rolex Flagship in London) have ...
Yes, not available in 40mm.
I prefer the one I saw, regular fluted bezel versus more stones. I do feel this reference is a bit of a sleeper.
Except London, Paris, NYC, LA and any other major western city or popular destination.
Thatās true for any steel Rolex too though ! LOL
Definitely turns the sparkle up to 1000.
My initial impression was actually that is was far more sparkle than I had expected. My comparison was previously seeing the rose gold 37mm Yatchtmaster with the pave dial. That watch, was more muted.
Hah !
You have a point. However, where I live such a car comes with roughly $500-700 per month in parking costs, in addition to another $1500-2000 for insurance and then maintenance. There are somewhat cheaper parking options, but those come with other consider...
Ah, a rainbow ay-date. I like it, but probably
wouldn't get one for myself. Definitly not an ugly watch in my opinion.
I hear you Thomas.
It is a nice hypothetical question for us though. In reality, not many of us could really pull this off, and fewer still could get any type of regular wear out of it.
Merry Christmas, Jay!
The watch looks good on your wrist. But it's definitely not a piece for me. Best, Emmanuel
That is how I would see it too.
It is mostly one of those collector watches, although nowhere near as collectible as a rainbow Daytona or any of the other off catalogue pieces we have seen from Rolex. It would be cool to have. But maybe, it is just limited to that, ācool to haveā.
After seeing it, and realizing how much this thing shinesā¦
ā¦and sparkles, that is also where my head is at. Interestingly, as noted above and based on what some others have told me, the everrose version may be ābetterā. Although to me, I donāt see that.

Please post a picture when you both see it.
I can see how the everrose version may be better visually; but then with that watch there is just a lot of gold in folks faces. And thatās fine, if you live in certain places. In most of the major world cities nowadays, one doesnāt want an all gold watch ...
I will but it will take some weeks
The dial is so brilliant that I believe the metal color doesn't really reduce the attention that much....
I say buy it. Itās beautiful. A piece
of art. You donāt need to wear it anywhere but around the house to enjoy it. Itās an exciting piece just to look at. That being said, Iād wear it just being out daily; going to the grocery store, having lunch, doing some shopping, going to a movie. If you...
I don't mind the precious stone markers (although I think I'd like a single color)...
...but the dial is overkill for me...
That is super nice.
Need the right personality to pull it off. Iām not there (yet).
You are right about this.
Itās a real consideration as that same money can go a long long way.
I like it.
Iām also under the camp that I prefer precious metal Rolexes over their steel counterparts. I also wouldnāt stress too much about being afraid to wear it. Life is too short to worry about the extremely rare possibility that you might get mugged.
Itās not every day that a Jay Eire asks for forum opinion about a potential buy? Methinks you are unsure and if you are..
well, you know how that old saw goes. Objectively speaking, itās a stunner. But Iām not sure it holds a candle to your buckley dial DD. But thatās just me not being able to wrap my head around gem set pieces. One thingās for sure, you can rock that piece....
Fair.
The Buckley is a great watch to have, but itās in really great condition and when one has a almost 50 year old watch thatās is nice condition like that one becomes a little more hesitant to wear it regularly. And youāre dead right about the uncertainty. T...
