Hi Nautilus...

I never said buying a watch one does not see often should be a criteria for purchasing a watch.  I said,"It can be a lot of fun to wear something not everyone else has rather than blending into a sea of more commonly seen watches."

As for suggesting a rose gold Rolex Daytona the in the series of posts below, Thurgood asked if he should get a gold watch.  I felt a gold watch  was missing from his collection.  I initially thought he could use a true dress watch.  But he was looking for a rose gold watch to consider besides the 15400 and stated he did not like the offerings from PP, VC, Piaget, or others that came to mind.  For me that really would only leave the Rose Gold Daytona as an alternative.  There may be other rose gold watches that you like and you can feel free to suggest them, but there really are not a lot of other sporty watches that I would consider getting in rose.  I've seen the 15400 (and no offense to those that own one, but I think the proportions of the 15300 are better, and I don't like moving a movement from a smaller watch to a larger case as it becomes very evident when you look at the exhibition case back and compare the two).  I've handled a few gold APs including a new rose Jumbo, and to be honest I think Royal Oak is a watch that looks better in SS.  There is something about all the brushed finish on the bracelet that to my eye works better in SS than rose.  If comparing a 15400 in rose gold and a Daytona in rose gold, while my brain knows the 15400 is a finer watch, and has movement that is more finely finished than the Daytona, my eyes and heart find the Daytona in rose gold with a black dial a far more attractive watch. 

Best regards,
