Icon11 Everose Daytona sighted in Melbourne AD

Not sure if this is old news, but I saw an Everose Daytona in one of the display windows at LK Jewellery in Melbourne yesterday. It certainly looks nicer than pics on the web as some have wrote They also had a TT to complement the lonely WG that has been sitting there for more than a few months now ...

I didn't walk in to try it on because the whole family including my parents were in tow, but have noticed the staff are different. Does anyone know if there is a change of ownership or has LK replaced its employees?

No, I didn't have an actual camera with me. Anyway, the glass reflection and the down light glare would have distorted the pic.

I also couldn't see the price tag and would be interested to know the Aussie price if someone finds out or knows.

I have an AD here in Chicago that has a whole window dedicated to ever rose every model you can think of. The Day DateII looks best.

An AD in Durham, NC has an everose Daytona in the case. Very nice looking watch. The color of the gold is stunning.

Yes, I found the colour of the Everose more yellow than pink ... as narrated in the Rolex video

I would like to try one on my wrist one day ...

Got to try one and compared it with the WG, my better half and me prefer the RG. The AD just got the RG couple of weeks ago at the new price of $40,510.

Both SG are almost twice heavier than the TT, and the RG is not as shiny and looks duller or matt in colour which is not necessarily bad because it can be more subtle for daily wear.

The new clasp locks and unlocks easier, but the distinct firmer click sound of the older knob clasp is no more ...

I tried the Everose Daytona on at Grima when I was in Melbourne for the Moto GP. It was nice but didn't push any buttons - and from memory it was Aus$38000
