"Snuckier?" Is this a word that is specific to the KIWI language; or is it only used by BKLs when they want to communicate with each other? :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

I merely performed a minor grammatical change on the word, Ed!! :chuckle: :chuckle:

Thanks for the kind words!!
Great to be aboard.

black dial with red minute hand;
jubilee bracelet....red (also called pink) gold trim.
It was love at first sight when I saw it on the rolex site (and other
web sites).

yep.. that's it!! thanks JJ. (Tough to see the contrast betwen the pink gold and steel in the pic but I think it's there)

and thanks pete.....I will (wear it and post pics that is)

What do you mean "red, also called pink gold trim"?

Red Gold and Pink Gold are different. Each uses different alloys in the mixture.
The proper name for "pink" is rose.

You have yellow gold, white gold, rose gold, red gold, and even green gold.
If you ever have a piece of custom jewellery made and you want 18k yellow gold but have to go with 14k due to durability issues, ask for 14k green gold. It looks very similar to 18k yellow gold.

So what's the difference between Red gold and Rose gold?

Please post some articles or links regarding the "Alloy Mixture" in gold. Very interesting...

[jhnnyjr100]

I believe I saw some advertisement on the web that used 'red or rose or pink' gold in a sentence which (evidentally incorrectly) lead the reader to believe ALL 3 were equivalent.....

Allan makes a good point.. articles relating to "Alloy Mixture" in gold
would be very interesting.
