Believe me I don’t need a science lesson. It’s my opinion that when I buy a gold watch it should look ‘gold’. My preference and opinion sir. Keep it moving.

I have owned both and would go Rootbeer!!
Both are great, but the everose Rootbeer is something special!!
It is classy more than flashy and not as loud as YG (though I like YG too).
I think Rolex really hit a home run on this one.

Tough choice but having seen both in the flesh the root beer would be my choice, then buy a SS Sub to go alongside it.

Sub over GMT for my purposes. This part is about function. It is a tool watch.

Therefore, SMURF’S UP!

For me, it would be entirely independent on what I already have. I think you settled just fine. Stunning.

Smurf for sure.

Full disclosure, I do not care for and am biased against Rolex rose gold. Don't like their rose gold hue...at all.

The Submariner Date would be the white gold watch of choice.

Tricky choice but that full Rose Gold Root Beer, just wow!

Wrist presence goes nuclear.

Life short, get both and enjoy in rotation.

Wifey will forgive you in a few months when she sees the dent in the bank account.
