Sandcrab, I have never seen an all RG yachtmaster with champaigne dial. That thing is an eye catcher.

We discussed this issue at the Orlando GTG yesterday. Rose Gold (Everose) will stay as it is forever. No degradation. True, the shade is produced differently from year to year, and model to model, but it does NOT degrade.

BOTH of the watches in that photo were nothing less than STUNNING!!!

alexxelor · 30 August 2010, 12:24 AM

i prefer yellow gold

valentine · 30 August 2010, 02:07 AM

when I get my rose gold day-date back from service...I will go and compare it to the everose daytona my AD has...and see if their is a difference in "tone"...

rangrov · 30 August 2010, 03:53 AM

Hi Valentine I think if yours is older than 2006 then you will find a big differance in colour.

Shadi · 30 August 2010, 04:03 AM

Am I the only one questioning the legitimacy of this thread? It's been two days and many questions,a nd still no response or pics. It's hard to imagine that Rolex's Everose will fade that drastically, if at all, in just 3 years.

valentine · 30 August 2010, 04:26 AM

yeah...dont see it fading..just a richer color as rolex refined it over the years.

slcbbrown · 30 August 2010, 11:30 AM

There may be a difference in the rose colors, but I'd be amazed if any of the real stuff "faded".

pradeep · 30 August 2010, 03:31 PM

No post from this guy..! Sounds a bit funny.

Trumpet · 31 August 2010, 01:51 AM

Thanks all for your response. I was at the Rolex store at the Wynn Las Vegas last week and my 2007 President is definitely a shade lighter of rose gold, than compared to the new 2010 model Rose gold. There is a big difference. The salesperson was questioning my watch, if it was a yellow gold model that had a problem.
I will admit I wear my "Everose president" in the hotubs, and in the pools, but I didn't think it would fade so much. It still looks very nice, but just not as 'pink' or red as I wanted.
No question my watch is real, as I've paid to have it checked out by the local Mayors store (Florida authorized dealer) They appraised my watch at $21,000.00. I have the newer heavy band, with the solid-shiny style clasp. My watch does not have the Rolex name engraved around the inside bezel.
Thanks for your advice!

This makes the most sense.

I think you are correct about the redder look of the new PG Rolex models.

Thanks! I can't take any credit for picking those watches out since my wife tends to buy them for me as gifts. Good wife, I think I'll keep her!!!

rangrov · 31 August 2010, 05:18 PM

Well here is a photo of my 2006 rose gold watch, i compaired it to a 2010 model and mine was more of a subtle shade, personally i do not like too much copper in rose gold...

I'm trying to attach a pic. I hope this works.

Trumpet · 2 September 2010, 12:14 PM

Here a photo of my faded Rose Gold. It doesn't help that its next to a pink shirt.

DadsWatch72 · 2 September 2010, 12:17 PM

The platinum is the trick to stabalizing the copper.

Old thread from the archives......... http://www.rolexforums.com/archive/i...p/t-16758.html

Grey.Coupe · 3 October 2010, 09:49 AM

I bought my day-date in rose gold brand new from an AD in January of 2009. It has the new bracelet, and the Rolex inscribed inner bezel, the crown on the crystal, and now looks like regular 18K yellow gold. Not a hint of pink. I am disappointed.

To give you an idea how badly I wanted it to look different, I traded an day-date in 18K yellow gold and took a beating on the swap. Now it looks pretty much like the one I traded in.

Grey.Coupe · 3 October 2010, 09:52 AM

Degraded? Well, it's still 18K gold, I guess.

But the color has definitely shifted.

Traveler · 3 October 2010, 09:54 AM

This whole 'fading' thing sounds odd to me...

I would agree. I can't see a 18k rolex fading.

GradyPhilpott · 3 October 2010, 11:45 AM

Maybe if we had a nice close up of the watch without the sartorial distractions.

Grey.Coupe · 4 October 2010, 02:40 AM

Note, I didn't call it fading. I call it shifting. The watch was decided pinkish cast and now is fully yellow, but not the yellow of a normal yellow gold. $24K at AD. They acknowledged there have been problems, dunno why we would question it. Rose gold has this reputation.

compworld · 4 October 2010, 04:21 AM

Could it be a Brolex then?

You need to post an actual pic. Everose is the same color all the way through. It would not turn from pink to yellow....
