Looking for a yellow gold Rolex...

[TopNotchChach]

Greetings,

I dont know what to do...
I want a gold Rolex... but not sure if day date is the move. Plus it's a good amount of $$$ I currently have all 40mm and above watches. A 36mm doesnt look bad on me.

Maybe just a day date on a leather strap?

Was also thinking of a Cellini, perhaps a danaos...

Loving the look of a croc strap with yellow gold.

any suggestions?

thank you,

18238 is my choice all day. Exceptional value in the market, and easy to live with the double-quick

From Rolex you might want to consider a PM watch with a bracelet. I believe Rolex has some of the nicest in the industry. A classic DD always works.

For a slightly different take, I do enjoy my 1601/8 and 1013 watches. Gold but subtle.

I’m a full-bore, dedicated fan of the 36mm 4- and 5-digit DDs.

DDs can look superb on a strap - I wear my Wide Boy 1803/8 and wood dial 18038 on brown straps. However, if you anticipate ever wanting a President bracelet for a DD, you’re usually better off waiting to get them together than assembling them later.

There are also some real bargains out there among the vintage/neo-vintage Cellinis. (Similarly, the 1970s-80s stone dial Piagets are an interesting value.)

If/when you narrow it down, post some sharp, clear pics of your candidates, so the “pros from Dover” here at TRF can scrutinize them for you. There’s a bottomless rabbit hole of details which can be important for these, and the members here are unbelievably generous with their time, skill, and resources.

This is my favorite yellow gold piece.

If not a DayDate or 18k GMT, the 18k Cellini Prince is nice looking for ~10k USD.

a 36 gold day date with gold end link, gold clasp and brown croc strap is a good look

A gold bracelet adds a lot, though
