Look at these pics-not mine. Looks like 2 different metals
The difference in shading is entirely down to the way in which the camera digitally processes the image file when the image is captured, the ambient lighting, any post capture processing of the image file and the calibration of the monitor/device you're viewing it on.

Everose is beautiful in the metal. The OP's pictures are pretty spot on.

the DD in the pictures you posted should look more like it does below (colour "temperature" was off) and the Sky D was just terrible image. Temp was off, white balance was off and the image colour was seriously over saturated too.

Take I look at the rose gold day date Eisenkiesel. And the best part it’s that it has a lot of character but it's understated. So far, I love it.

Patrick captures the color accurately IMO
There both still a bit off.

Bottom one is more like reality - subject to viewing device

OP - may I ask - was it an AD sale and if so, how long did you wait?

I’d appreciate it! (You can DM me is you prefer).
