Why no Datejuts with white gold center links?

[dooder202]

In the market to purchase a datejust, but steering away from yellow gold and rose gold. Why no Datejusts with white gold center links just like the ones colored with YG and RG?

White gold PCLs...and steel ??

Is that what you are suggesting?

I would think that the white gold center links, if made, would not stand out enough from the stainless steel outer links. In fact, I've never heard of white gold center links.

If you have enough money you can order whatever you want from Rolex if you get the right Dealer to put in the request on your behalf.

Since they don't make a SS and WG center link bracelet, this would take a bit of doing.

In that case you might aswell buy a WG DJ. The TT is not to mix gold with ss but rather to add contrast and mix different colors. WG/SS are the same color.

I agree.

WG DJ would be the way to go!

I believe what you're suggesting is a TT DJ with SS and WG. To be quite honest I see absolutely no sense in that, WG is a flimsy useless metal.

Wow their equipment looks ridiculous.

Guys what I'm saying is this...

I like the idea or precious metals on my watches. But for me, two toned yellow gold or rose gold doesn't quite fit because I prefer the look of all stainless: BUT white gold looks virtually the same as stainless except it is a bit warmer in color.

So, it would be cool if Rolex had models that were white gold and stainless steel center links since you can keep the "color factor" but still have a precious metal.

Did you know that SS models hold their value better than precious metal models?

I think that if Rolex thought they could sell watches with stainless steel and WG bracelets, they'd be churning them out.

For that matter, I'm not sure I understand the logic behind the WG fluted bezels or the Platinum lapsed-time bezels.

In the case of the fluted bezels, they look great in the showcase under those bright lights and they do look good for a few years, but they wear down and lose that glimmer and those light refractive properties over time.

To each his own, I guess.
