eunomians Posted November 21, 2012 Report Share Posted November 21, 2012 No signs of my Gold Fever abating whatsoever! WOW this is a nice watch!! Took me a while to get the pics to correctly capture the essence of this watch. It's a real stunner. The dial is a nice dark charcoal like the Rubberclad Rosegold. The black and gold surrounds are perfectly executed. Black lume is flawlessly applied. The pushers are modded already, nice touch. The Rosegold DLC plating and color are terrific. I paired it up with an AP Bands black Hornback strap. I think it complements the watch better than a brown strap. Perhaps you agree or disagree? If you're thinking about picking this one up, don't hesitate. But you MUST buy a Hornback strap because the rep one is def. one of the worst straps I have ever seen. This is def. one of the nicest reps I have ever seen/owned (in the same league as the Mr. Z modded Grand Prix and RG Montoya). You've just read my musings on this watch, now let us read your thoughts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By-Tor Posted November 21, 2012 Report Share Posted November 21, 2012 Very nice. I turned 40 recently. Maybe that's the magic number when you're allowed to wear a gold watch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legend Posted November 26, 2012 Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 I personally think that wearing rose gold has a little to do with age, but also dressing style and of course, personal preference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike on a bike Posted November 26, 2012 Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 I do not usually like it but on the brown strap works for me just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Determine Posted December 2, 2012 Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 Lovely! Strap is perfect on there. A true 10+ D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilazn Posted December 2, 2012 Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 If you had them use gold stitching in that hornback that watch would be fire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankpower88 Posted December 3, 2012 Report Share Posted December 3, 2012 I think i will buy it and will start wearing it in 10 years lol, i am only 30 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markiemark Posted December 5, 2012 Report Share Posted December 5, 2012 Wow! Just wow! I think the black gator and the rose gold match perfectly! I have to wait 17 years until Im 40 LOL! Im afraid to buy a (rose) gold rep myself, Im worried that the plating will wear off pretty quick... Is is a daily use for you? Ok, one more time: WOW!

Imaknockov Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 Gold reps are okay for occasional use, I'd never use one as a beater though. I love version 2.0 of this watch, I guess my 1.0 Don Ramon will now be relegated to Frankenstein experiments Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted December 13, 2012 Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 Age has nothing to do with it. It is all about income. That is a $75k watch. I love this watch too but has anyone had any issues with plating wearing away? That is what has always scared me off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watch.aholic Posted December 13, 2012 Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 I gotta get this watch too.....but these damn AP's are so damn expensive to begin with....and add to that servicing costs *which is a must IMO* and expensive straps and you are touching stratosphere.....but worth the money.....beautiful watch.

I love this watch too but has anyone had any issues with plating wearing away? That is what has always scared me off. Yes and no, somehow I would wear a RG Rubberclad at my age (24), because it's sporty. But the DR is more classic due to the complete gold case. Although, if I would have a monthly income as high as to get one of these easily I'd probably get it... . But I don't feel comfortable yet with wearing gold, and it's not about income, it's about the feel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
