Do you think it is more flashy than say a PM Submariner? I'm not sure because it is smaller and the design lends itself more to PM you could argue? Attitudes to two tone and PM have changed over time but I think you just have to buy what you like and what you are comfortable wearing. Personally I am very comfortable wearing this piece in the same way as my Yacht-Master but I would be careful in some parts of London etc. My ideal PM Rolex is actually the white gold Daytona blue dial which is a bit more under the radar perhaps.

I can only tell you what i have experienced in the USA. I live in an urban environment and mostly rely/relied on public transports (subway/bus/bike) and given the charged political environment since this summer and the public health crisis, i am reluctant to wear a full gold watch out. The world is not "normal" just yet.

i get it the girls wear their diamond rings all day, but something like a full yellow gold watch is more in your face and makes you a target. Sure if you live in a gated community with private parking every where you roll then its fine...but where i live that's only for mega billionaires. This is a hobby...sometimes being low key has its values.
