Incoming tomorrow... RG Choc Sky-Dweller 🙂

Hello all! Exciting post...

I speak to my SA at my local AD frequently and we've become good friends. Whilst chatting in store a few weeks back, I mentioned it'd been nearly a year since I'd received one of 'those' whatsapp messages and I'd forgotten what it was like to give them money...! Fast forward a week and a magic message pings through!

Super excited for this watch as will be my first foray into Rose Gold and also into a Rolex rubber (😆). Seriously though, I think the RG/Choc is an awesome combo. Collecting tomorrow and will share pics!

Now only three left on my Rolex wishlist...

Granted not on OF here’s something to wet your whistle in the meantime

You’re gonna love it. Rolex has nailed RG and Chocolate dials better than any other brand IMO.

Granted I’m a tad partial

Congrats' I just got mine (exact same config) and lovvve it.

Rose gold chocolate dial on oyster is the perfect blend of class and sportiness as well as comfort and wrist presence.

Fully agree! Rose Gold + Chocolate Dials are done best by Rolex!

Unfortunately RG doesn't go well with my skin tones - so my wife tells me..... I'm not sure she's just not trying to persuade me not to get another watch however.......
I love Sky-Ds - best Rolex IMHO.

It will be Amazing.

Rose Gold + Chocolate dial is the best combo Rolex makes. Especially the sunburst chocolate - it looks amazing in the sunlight.

Thanks all for your great and kind comments. I picked up the watch today, and it is indeed stunning. A few thoughts:

-- Interesting how the Rose Gold looks in different lighting. Easily mistakable for YG or WG depending on the angle and light... 3 watches for the price of 1! 😂
-- Love the chocolate dial. Brown, beige, perhaps even hints of orange. Love it.
-- OysterFlex is really comfortable, love being able to make on-the-go adjustments with the Glidelock.
-- Nice to see a subtle Rolex baseball cap. I'll be happy to wear this, unlike so many normal corporate merchandise swag.

I'm really pleased :-).

Love it! Congrats! Great watch and agree re color changes and the utility of the glide lock system! I find myself using it more than any other Rolex bracelet adjustment

Did you change your shirts between wrist shots?

Ha! Yes I did! First casual shirt was mid afternoon collecting the watch. Second shirt was a proper shirt before heading for dinner!
