3rd Times a charm-- Product is coming in.

I got lucky twice walking into Rolex AD's over the past 8 weeks and scored a TT Bluesy and the new 2023 Sky Dweller_TT/18K Black dial with jubilee bracelet. Both TT's, as are my Serti Subs.

Just now, I received a call from the NYC AD that this may be available for me later today. Exciting to get the call. I would like to add a rose gold model to add but I think the TT/Rose on this model is more striking. And I would prefer the Sky Dweller with blue dial as a win but that's a probable long shot on my list.

I have read that this model is a true scratch magnet but I don't think it would fall into my daily wear rotation. Any insight on owning this model or on rose gold as compared to yellow gold would be appreciated.

I have tried out protectors on my TT buckles as I am left handed and wear my watches on my left hand.

Thanks and have an awesome day.

Very nice. Love that watch, and if I could afford it (which I can't) would buy it instantly if offered.

Wow, you scored a couple of great pieces in the last 8 months! Well done! The full RG Root Beer is definitely a stunner, but I personally would prefer the TT version. Much better as a daily and not as flashy, plus easier on the wallet! It really sounds like you prefer TT in general. I would go for the TT Root Beer if that's the one that you love more.

An early congrats if you do decide to go for this full RG version. It really is a beauty!

Congrats in advance. Owning a RG piece with PCL's is no different than any of the other PM models with them. Be cautious while wearing it because it can scratch easily, but the watch is beautiful.

Don’t get it, unless you really want it! Just from the little bit you wrote, I get the feeling the AD sees you as a mark, to unload their pricey PM pieces, because of your like for gold, and presumably deep pockets. But if you love it, get it, Please put up wrist shots, if you do.

Once you see the RG in person you will be handing over payment..
If worried about "scratches" this hobby may not be for you.

If you like the TT version more then certainly skip this one.

I'd agree

The rose gold is gorgeous and I recently looked at a TT Rose DJ 41mm with chocolate diamond dial and oyster bracelet. That said I picked a TT yellow gold DJII because the rose gold seems to come into and go out of style.Also, I have no other rose gold pices to wear with it.

I have the TT. RG isn't any easier of harder to scratch than YG. Fantastic watch if you want it and can wear it. I've tried a full RG Sky Dweller and although it would have been easy to cough up the MSRP for the beauty and heft, RG just didn't wear well on me. We were mismatched.

All the best with it.

I would pass on the full rose gold one if you prefer the TT one. The price difference is significant and i would not want a second choice watch for that kind of money.

Hi Kat,
Yes after reviewing my collection I do like yellow gold and TT. Each is a different AD that I have been stopping in over this past year. But the next threads show this watch as a TT and it is more stunning. I actually went yesterday to try on the full gold and it is subdued in hue. The TT has more of a pop and contrast.

Thank you for this picture. I saw your post before I went into the Rolex AD to try on the full rose gold and I realized I liked the TT better so I changed may request. They did not have this in TT for exhibition so I couldn't see the actual model but this picture made the decision. Benefit of being a forum member.

Thank you all for your input. I changed my request to the TT after trying on the full Everose gold model yesterday. It was nice but as I have the 41mm full gold Bluesy, this was no match to sway my heart to go full everose gold. Beautiful watch for sure but for me it seems I am a TT lover.
