Yellow gold watches:
Discussion
I was sitting on a train earlier opposite a smart chap wearing a bi-metal tank shaped watch. It looked very good.
I again started pondering how yellow gold watches look great on smartly dressed people. However the proliferation of white metal watches suggests that others don’t share my opinion.
It’s either that or I am, again, ahead of the curve.
So am I alone or does anyone else think we may see a resurgence in popularity for yellow gold watches?

I really enjoy my bi metal Sea Dweller, think the extra gold adds interest to the watch and has ensured I’ve used it a lot this year. Bi-metal for me is a great balance between not too flashy and not too plain, I really like it!
Meanwhile I think the Day Date in gold is just spectacular, so opulent. It is flashy as watches go, and I’ve had a fair few comments about it in both professional and social situations. Of course most people will have no idea, but a surprising amount do. So it depends if you are comfortable with that.
But I also love many steel and white metal watches, even rose gold too. There is a time and a place for any metal IMO, it’s great to have a collection with a bit of everything.

Oof, that DD is lovely. I'm tempted, but not sure if I could pull it off.Meanwhile I think the Day Date in gold is just spectacular, so opulent.

I have a bi-metal DJ, which is a good middle ground as you say.

The gold day date is a classic watch.... maybe a bit of a mug magnet, but spectacular all the same. I have been tempted over the years, but have resisted.

Bluesy owner here, I love the gold on it, even though it seems more unpopular these days. Gives it a bit of a vintage more luxorious feel, whereas my SS sub is still very nice but doesn't feel as special as the bluesy.
The SS is a lot more tempting to wear often though as it suits more casual occasions whereas if I wear the bluesy casually I feel a bit ostentatious

Trust me, on your wrist, that will look amazing.
Possibly, but I think I associate gold Rolexes (Roli?) with a rather gaudy look. The people who spring to mind are Del-boy, the London dartist Bobby George, and my best mate from school’s dad. He had a scrap yard. Also, having read the alarming thread about the poor fellow who was mugged in London for his watch recently, I wonder if these are just too obviously expensive? Although I suppose that might be the idea.

That’s truly horrendous, looks like it came out of a Christmas cracker, and yet, I somehow sort of like it…
