Looks good to me, I have this model.

Congrats, beautiful big boy watch, I don’t see anything wrong with it but as others have mentioned if it bothers you, then send it back to the seller.

Is nothing to worry about, it can be removed with the lightest of the lightest polish in due time.

This is what I was thinking. Could this be how WG patinas? I know my RG DD to have patina pretty quickly after a year of storing it regularly in a glass display case.

No issues have been flagged so I don't see what there is to be worried about.

My rise DD and rose Daytona. Are kept in safe, The Rose DD is like 5 years old and it looks great. Rolex Everose doesn’t Patina.

Old rose gold jewelry might get yellower ( that’s why Rolex created everose , and old yellow gold jewelry might get patina, that can be cleaned.

Rolex Everrose gold definitely does patina or oxidize. Just google it online, and you'll find examples. What it will not lose, however, is it's red color.

rose color then all good

What’s the weight of the DD? As others have said, take it to a RSC and eliminate all doubt.

Good thinking. That's another way to build confidence in the purchase. Does anyone know how much the WG version weighs, fully linked?

I see none of what they are saying from the AD. Looks like WG. Don't see any discoloration that they state. Congrats and enjoy!

Honestly, I would ignore the SA and enjoy the watch. Color perception is totally subjective and there’s no universal standard for what a color should look like. Physiology, age, genetics, lighting, and even differences in background and culture can all impact how someone perceives color. Metallic colors are notoriously perceived differently due to glossiness, highlights, and reflections.

My guess is you’d even see some subtle variation if you had a bunch of them from the same production run all lined up in the same place at the same time.

You’ve done more diligence than most. I think you’re good.

(oh, and you can pretty much ignore any feedback based on people looking at it on screen. that's useless when it comes to judging color unless you're in a very controlled and calibrated environment.)

OP, looks like you posted the pics from the listing. Do you have any pics of the watch you received?

[fskywalker]

Looks ok to me. How big of a deal you got? There are quite a few good grey dealers on this forum that perhaps could get you one for about the same price and they will guarantee it’s authenticity
