I agree with most of the members; it is the wearer, not the watch. I have seen many Rolex jerks that flash their supposed wealth and many more that appear at ease with themselves.

yellow gold
Personally yellow gold is reserved for either Jimmy Savile or a pharmaceutical salesman of the illegal variety, even car dealers don't wear yellow gold ( I should know I am one!)
Rose gold on the other hand is very South of France when complimented with a chocolate or tobacco leather strap, class act. |

I am going onto 2 months of ownership with my 18238. I picked it up for my 50th. I thought this would only be for special occasions, but with the restrained elegance of the 36mm size I find I am wearing it more than I thought. I dont see myself wearing it with a T shirt and shorts but I am comfortable with it in long sleeves and in many more situations than I thought. Plus as stated earlier, I see so many full gold Michael Kors etcc out there I dont think anyone notices.

i bought my first Rolex at 28 a vintage gold Rolex but that wasn't the grail watch. I love a lot of different styles of Rolex but for me, at 38, there was only ever one option. our family has had matching watches since 1984. No watch could take its place. Douche-y? i don't think so. i try to..... Stay humble, smile warmly, have faith. And i do wear it with t-shit and shorts............... and flip flops. LOL.

Just took the plunge and ordered a white gold/blue face Daytona. I used to have a DD40 in WG too. I like the weight and feel of gold, but do not like to draw attention. So, for me, it is a 'private' pleasure.

The watch is not the deciding factor.

It depends on the class of people you are with.
Classy people won't even think twice about it. Class-less people will feel it is "douchey" |

My dad gave me a gold Rolex President before I died. I don't usually wear watches with this is the special occasion thing, I think it's extremely tasteful and handsome. Plus it brings back memories

Welcome back to life. Kidding, of course. That would indeed be a very special piece. Would love to see a pic.

Honestly amazed the thread needed more than the first reply above. It's down to the wearer and it's 1000% more "douchey" to judge someone by their watch, Rolex, Swatch or Patek, steel, gold, or plastic, than it is to be the wearer of that watch.

Eric's got it 100% right. Watches are like shoes or hats... if you like them and wear them confidently they'll look good, and if you don't they'll look unauthentic. It's your body language that tells the tale. If you're uncomfortable with something then you're probably not ready... otherwise, as a fashion forward girlfriend of mine used to say, "just cop a 'tude and do it" (wear it!)

Gold Rolex is classy.
But many criminals choose Rolex. It is the only watch brand they know and they flash it off in order to compensate for their shortcomings in other life skills. These people are the real douchebags who give Rolex a bad name. |

I used to think ANY gold in a watch was a bit tacky, but these days I'm really starting to like those two-tone Datejusts. Still not a huge fan of all-gold watches though.
