5196 R or J?

 
 By: glimmer : October 10th, 2018-20:34
Greetings to all, I’m currently deciding on which version to get for the 5196...I’m stuck between R and J. I like the whiter dial on the J but prefer the rose gold case. I will be wearing the watch as an office or smart casual watch. Any thoughts from 519... 

I don't think "J" can be beat...

...for a dress watch.

It all depends

on your skin colour! If you are tanned or have a darker tone, I would go for the rose as it would match well. Yellow was a more vintage look but to be honest, white is my favourite on this model!

+1 [nt]

I agree with Sham, for us Asians or malay to be exact the rose gold fits.

My opinion. I think it's best to try all options then decide what's best. In your eyes. Cheers 🍻 Geross.

Thanks for the reply,

and I appreciate your thoughts.

I would go for R in a heartbeat!

But it's a very personal decision, you should try them on and decide afterwards.

I’d go for the R but... I love the P!

A pretty convincing argument
