A full gold Rolex sports watch is REALLY HEAVY!
Wanted to buy one but the price puts me off.

I fully agree is too ex, that is why I am looking for the half gold ones for a head start.

Views on a Solid Gold Rolex

Been thinking long and hard on whether I should invest in a solid gold Rolex.

Since my skin tone can't carry Yellow and Rose Gold, only the white gold pieces appealed to me. Platinum is out of reach for now.

For White Gold, I looked at the sports and dress models.

I was drawn to the Day Date II. Tried the Day Dates but preferred their bigger cousins (possibly becos I'm too used to the size of the sports models.

But I am also interested in the white gold Daytonas, the Skydweller and the sub.

In bros opinion, would you pick a solid gold sports or a formal DDII?

If im restricted to white gold,

I will go for the daytona. Elegant and sporty and has chrono. The one with black dial/ red hands or meteorite.

You're right, I am RESTRICTED to WG. I really like the models you cited. Till I saw the latest DD2 with Baguettes all round and a black baguettes at 6 & 9 o'clock.

I like DD2 too but of course the professional series is preferred.
Will you be wearing it daily? Work etc etc

I saw this at Ion in WG bracelet. It literally blew me away. But would you still get it if you already own the stainless steel version?

Doubt I will be wearing it daily. Will rotate the watches. Good thing about the WG sports series is to an untrained eye, it could easily pass off for SS.

liked it a lot at first. But the feeling gradually waned. Also felt that the color made it quite difficult for me to match my clothes with. Nonetheless, me still pining for the half gold blue face model...hopefully with diamond markers.

I think the Half Gold with Black face Sub might be a better choice thou up to you.. It is eaiser to match clothes IMHO...
I was looking at the half gold blue but look too showy... if there is such a term hahaha
