Omega - Warm color

Warm color

Feb 27, 2012,15:24 PM

I have no real preference between Yellow or Rose, but what I like in Gold is the warm tone. For the case... and even for the dial.

Concerning the case, I have a strong preference for 18k cases. But they can be Swiss made (for example the 30t2rg and the connie above) or French made (the seamaster in the center) . I don't really care.

As I live in France, I am used to find French made cases. In that case, quality is not a problem as quality criteria were the same as in Switzerland. The only issue may come from the lack of information available in the Omega Archives in Biel for these watches that could have local specificities...

Let's consider my Centenary whose case is also French made. It has fixed lugs (and the bucke too !) that is non common for this model.

P.S.
If you have good eyes, you will see that both French made cases have also "Fab. Suisse" dial.

Hi Bill, my favorite is clearly ROSE or PINK, especially in the 14K version as this alloy has a much richer (deeper) rose tone... The sources are very different, found also some nice watches on trader shows, but you ought to know the dealers that they kee...

I'd have to say Rose Gold for me.......

I never thought I'd like RG much until I acquired an RG watch - but it is so much more uncommon than yellow. As for white gold - well I know many like it and it is the fashion now but it does nothing for me as it looks just like stainless steel. A Rollie ...

I always have a crave for Rose gold case watches. I find the color so pleasant to look at than the Yellow. Yellow is boring. It RG matches nicely with either silver or black dials. Thanks. John

ALL OF THEM I LIKE..!

I like rose gold, whitegold, yellow gold and gold/steel variants as well. It depends on the hosting/dial/casematerial combination if the watch makes me want it. The diversity is what I am after Best Hans

Rose gold for me, (with the yellow for comparison):

By: smorrisonmd1 : February 14th, 2012-14:56

Especially with the very hard to find matching PG bracelet. Can't recall where I bought the watch, but the bracelet is an eBay purchase that I scavenged off another watch, and it matches perfectly ....

my preference is rose or pink gold

By: G99 : February 17th, 2012-12:08

i've never owned a white gold watch. if i could find one i think i would love it. i find yellow gold a bit blingy, but within my narrow collecting theme i find that is what is on offer. 9ct gold is good with me as its copper content gives it a rose gold t...

Pink or rose is too attractive, for my comfort

By: harrisans : February 26th, 2012-23:14

I have always loved the the beauty of pink or rose gold Constellations, against one in yellow gold. The former is not common and as such, more expensive than those yellow gold ones, everything being equal. In view of the fact, I have to work till the earl...
