Edwin25 Posted November 10, 2009 Report Posted November 10, 2009 Hi, I want to buy a full gold Rolex for my uncle (he want's a gen.. but to expensive for a birthday present) So i want to buy one for a reasonable price.. I saw this 2 Narikaa: and this one Which one 2 choose from.... 82 euro's inc shipping... Or does some one els has a suggestion ( or a watch for sale ) Tnx Edwin
jfreeman420 Posted November 10, 2009 Report Posted November 10, 2009 The yachtmaster II is fugly IMO. If you go with the first option try a day date with a champagne face and stick markers. Classic, refined and I'm sure Narika can source it for you. If he likes bling, go with a masterpiece like in my sig pic. Other than that I have a gold yachtmaster with a blue dial. This one is classy and something you don't see every day. I'm sure narika can get you one of these as well.
maulermacall@hotmail.com Posted November 10, 2009 Report Posted November 10, 2009 Wearing any full gold Rolex is going to draw alot of attention to the wearer. I'd be embaressed to buy and wear such a model but then that's me and I'm not your uncle. I would have thought a more understated day date style would be better and not so brash and obvivious but each to their own!
specialvat Posted November 10, 2009 Report Posted November 10, 2009 Steer clear of the clownmaster as someone once called it

BTW, why would a day date be more understated? They are all either gold, white gold or platinum. As far as drawing attention, I guess you have never been to Florida. Rollies are a dime a dozen. I wear a fully iced out jacob to a club and rarely get a second look, except from certain types of ladies of course.
Edwin25 Posted November 10, 2009 Author Report Posted November 10, 2009 Tnx for the tips! And yes fully gold isn't my thing as well.. but my uncle likes it... so that's what he's going to get.

freddy333 Posted November 10, 2009 Report Posted November 10, 2009 Unless your uncle does not mind being 'outted', I would steer clear of anything with gold or 'jewels'. Get him an all-steel model, which will greatly reduce the likelihood of someone spotting it as a fake & also increase the usable lifespan of the watch (when you scratch a steel watch, you just see more steel......when you scratch a gold-plated watch, ). Better to have a steel rep that look like a gen, than to have a 'gold' rep that looks like a rep.
fakemaster Posted November 10, 2009 Report Posted November 10, 2009 Steer clear of the clownmaster as someone once called it LOL. Can't believe you remember that one. Full Gold Sub with black dial.

The casual observer might not know that a particular model is supposed to be white gold or platinum, but wouldn't question a stainless steel watch. Yellow gold, on the other hand, is clearly yellow gold
jfreeman420 Posted November 10, 2009 Report Posted November 10, 2009 Good point teejay, my WISness chiming in on that response. jfreeman420, give us a snapshot..of your iced baby.. Well if I must.....

I wanted a tasteless watch that I would never have thought have been created yet be repped. Never been to Florida but I'd happily stay for a holiday, I'm off the first week in December if you'd like to pay for the flights :-) We could go clubbing. I'd love to meet Paris Hilton or Brooke Hogan!
Demsey Posted November 11, 2009 Report Posted November 11, 2009 being American I doubt you understand irony It means; rust colored right? I have an opinion on the matter, but will defer to jfreeman's opine. I mean, if Chuck Yeager told you to "dive!" your airplane, what would you do?
maulermacall@hotmail.com Posted November 11, 2009 Report Posted November 11, 2009 Get this for your uncle (i sold mine ages ago but here's the pics)
Edwin25 Posted November 11, 2009 Author Report Posted November 11, 2009 Get this for your uncle (i sold mine ages ago but here's the pics) Hahahaha.... He will go straight to jail when he has that on his wrist .....! E.
jmb Posted November 11, 2009 Report Posted November 11, 2009 My God, that thing is downright scary looking! No offense...
cdk847 Posted November 11, 2009 Report Posted November 11, 2009 (edited) I'm sorry...normally when it comes to style I say "to each their own," but that Daytona is downright hideous. The fact that any reputable company, let alone Rolex, would manufacture such an atrocity scares me as to the direction watches may be going.... :yuk: Edited November 11, 2009 by cdk847
jjfesq Posted November 11, 2009 Report Posted November 11, 2009 That Gaytona looks like Vomit in watch form.
Edwin25 Posted November 12, 2009 Author Report Posted November 12, 2009 hi guys... Tnx for your input!! It won.t de the clownmaster or the gaytona... E.
