5712R or 5712G

Hi TRF,

From the previous thread that I asked 5712g or 5726a, I decide to go for 5712 which is wear more comfortable on my 6.2 wrist.

Now I'm in the finally decision, I can't decide between 5712R or 5712G.

The thing is I'm about 26 yrs and not wearing suit or formal wear.


Please advice and convince me which one is nicer.

Thank you very much.

The Rose gold model wins it every time for me.

A splash of luxury and enough bling to impress without straying into diamond encrusted Day-Date territory.

It looks like the RG version is getting the vote here! I went G to stay under the radar. I love the weight of the white gold and its understated elegance.

I'm really suprised by the results! Since I don't like coloured gold my vote goes to white gold (g) everytime!

I have tried both, and although R is very nice I prefer the G. Much more understated I think.

Both are lovely though
