Strong comments against yellow gold Rolexes?

[HauteHorlogerie]

I love YG rolex pieces.

[mation]

Personally I don't really fancy the yellow gold, for some of the reasons already mentioned in this thread such as the image and so on.

In fact a few weeks ago my father and I wear at the AD (he is a wis as well), and I was very interested in the WG watches. On the other hand my dad who is in his mid 50's feel in love with a yellow gold president.

I was have a convo with the sales lady at the AD and she confirmed y suspicions on PM rolex, according to her PM's are for older men and, stainless steel for older man, she was kind of implying that I should go for a stainless steel as I am in my mid 20's

Having that said, I'd say hell to people and get what I want. Even after the AD's comments I want to get WG rolex because I love it, and i personally feel like YG screams for a lot of attention at my age. But who knows, my taste my change in 20 years. lol

I have not changed the way I am. I very rarely get asked about either of these pieces. I would not say they fly under the radar either.

Dunno what some of you guys are talking about. I wear my gold rollie all the time with my gold necklace and earrings. Mackin' hoes with the top down. Women think I'm fly...

What a stunning pair!

I rarely have mine noticed either, that's why I have now bought a bell.

Wow, that is beautiful. What was this thread about again?

Yellow gold just isn't my taste.

Wow, just super pieces. Too bad they're yellow.

well I love YG watches and have worn them for many many years with no problems ever

but I must admit my personal taste evolved (changed) once I got a Platinum watch. I now prefer it to YG and WG for me personally. still love the YG and still own the WG.

I now currently have no YG, for no particular reason, just kinda happened?

my only real problem with gold watches is that i dont have one.

[Eric Chan]

Boils down to personal preference, I guess.

In agreement that the "level" of comments against yellow gold does not seem warranted, as again, the choice of watch boils down to personal perference. Arguably, a question/comment could be made for those who choose to "fly under the radar" to just wear stainless steel instead. Personal preference.

Yellow gold is a timeless look. For whatever reason, it does not appeal to some people. I would just wear what brings you happiness and leave it at that.

I just find gold jewellery a bit tacky.

I have found that people who can afford it like it. People who can't afford gold don't like it. Just my personal observations.

I love the look of YG Rolex's but they're not for me, far to flashy IMHO.

I hope to have one of those in a few more years!

Not only do I wear my 18238 as a daily beater, but treat her like a Rolex should be treated, in the water, spa, etc. So yes, YG Rollies work for me! lol

Maarten, so true... Mine too is a daily beater and I would not have it any other way..
Dr Tom wins the day though.. Wow what a collection... Probably does not even include his son's watches either... Lol

[HL65]

Interesting can't say I recall seeing strong comments against YG Rolex here. Sure I have seen a few but very few in comparison to those who love.

Very nice. This looks like the same Rolex that my cousin had.

Agreed. Could someone link to some of the possibly mythical multitude of "strong comments" on TRF?
