That's an amazing watch. I recently saw one of those for sale and had never heard of it before. Very cool...

That’s lovely. I wouldn’t hesitate.

Heavy hitter, that’s a beautiful piece. I struggle with rose gold purchases because my chnr was really “pink” like Anthony’s concern above but the day dates seem to be much warmer. Sweet watch!

My concern as well but it’s not as loud as you’d expect. It’s perfect. The diamonds too, it’s hard to explain.

That’s really bad lighting that’s the thing.

Killer watch! I like how it looks like the chocolate dial in some lighting but then has the marbled dial in others

I'm soooooo on the fence about RG. Want a chocolate dial but cant make my mind up because I cant see one in the flesh. Looks really really pink in some wrist shots and then it doesnt. Plus the RG DD appears to look different then a RG SkyD in pictures. Would you mind a wrist shot in direct sunlight?

So conflicted but happy for you on this stunner you acquired

Check out photos of rose gold on a two tone. Tends to render more correctly probably due to white balance. I'd call it red gold more than pink. Lots of copper.

Patrick captures the color accurately IMO

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.

Beautiful piece! I didn't know it could be configured without the diamond bezel, but with the fluted bezel as you have it. Possibly the site isn't responsing correctly. Regardless, nice!

This watch is absolutely something special, I got to try it on at my AD at the 2021 showcase event they held and this was the star of the show for me. Mind blowing, congratulations on an absolutely stunning piece!!

Absolutely gorgeous watch! If someone were to hand me either the Olive or this one, I honestly would have a hard time deciding, but really, with those two watches, there's no loser!

This ones growing on me. All the baguette dials are winners in my opinion. Rolex is acknowledging that with this release, the baguette markers are taking center stage.

Still waiting for my YG DD40 Baguette
