5110 is such a classic watch that even for a white metal guy a coloured metal goes well. I would not personally like to have say 5960 in R but this classic World Time is another story. Best, Kari
but I am biased ;-)) you know. R for the warmth and elegance of reflection of the light on the dial and on the round case with his crown protection (another example is 5227R with his special case). WG or Pt fit better, IMHO, on cases with straight angles ...
But when the inner bezel, hands and indexes of each of these watches are made of the same metal than the case, the dials look very different. I am also a fan of the blue dial of 5070P; the dial of mine, the London Edition, is just a little bit darker. Bes...
could you, if you please, post one day, few different models from your collection to see the differencies and your comments of course as it is quite impossible for most of them to have this experience in the metal. Thanks, best, Patrickh
......it is between P and G, with R almost at the same level. No losing trades in this quartet though. P is cool. G is elegant. R is charming and Y is refined.
.. but of course, I guess, would be happy with any of those, but in general I do favor white metal.. Thx again for this superb share ! Cheers & Best, hs.
I like when simpler two or three hands watches are in rose gold as it feels the classical, elegant and refined watch. hence, when I saw the 5110R I could gather both worlds: an iconic watch with an interesting complication and a simple "Calatrava" look. T...
the beauty and the pecfect sizes of these you share with me how do you feel or how does it says to you when you wear it on your wrist or when you look at them?What actually is the part that trigger your soul?lately I have a strong feel on this grail.
the size (37 mm) feels perfect even my wrist is 200 mm. The dial, complication, hands, size, balance, case and relatively simple Calatrava look are the factors making me smile. Best, Kari
The red gold version was the biggest surprise to me - it is indeed a very elegant watch. I bought for that matching RG Calatrava cufflinks and I'm sure that with a dark blue suit and pink shirt the watch will look really cool. Best, Kari
I already saw many RG watches in the past, for several brands, but this one particularly doesn't work the same way. The R was the first version I saw of the 5110 and a great experience. I think you did very well with the cufflinks. The Calatrava cross one...
It has an impact to the audience at once. Its warm and shiny. Same time i have g already in the 5130g. To me yellow gold makes it a posers world time. My opinion. Then coming very close is platinum. Like the heft. Tried one in my local ad only it was the ...
But lately I have found myself admiring coloured metals. This is all new for me... First it was the Lange 1 with moonphase in rose gold. It has a sense of romance and elegance I didn\'t feel with the platinum version. The new model is rapidly becoming a g...
Yes, it must be temporary insanity. Heck, I\'ve always been a SS chap - Pt is too heavy; WG is too soft (plus the problems of rhodium plating, where used); Ti is too grey; DLC not my thing. (Ceramic, well, maybe...an interesting material...) But then I tr...
Also for me SS is the first choice followed by Pt. I do not really like WG as metal but lately I have noticed that sometimes J & R can be nice. Best, Kari
Though I generally prefer white metals, I like the classic look of the R on this watch. P would be a close second. Congratulations on having all! One of my favorite references.
