Hey guys, I recently inherited 5 yellow gold ladies watches (A Patek Philippe, a Concord, a Rolex, a Mathey-Tissot, and a LeCoultre). I'm looking to trade in/sell some (or all) of these watches and get myself a Rolex Datejust.
I know exactly what I want, except I am unsure about what material(s) I should get.
I want a Rolex Datejust with a blue dial, sapphire crystal, jubilee bracelet, hatchmarks, and a fluted bezel.
The only question I have is, should I go for the all Stainless Steel model or the two-tone yellow gold/stainless steel model? What would look better? What's classier? I want the watch to last me a long time and I plan on wearing it all of the time (with both casual and formal outfits). I want a watch that will go with a lot of different colors and types of clothes. It should go with everything from a t-shirt to a suit.
I have rather light skin, as well. My mother also has light skin and refuses to wear any yellow gold because it doesn't go with her skin tone (she sticks with white gold and platinum). She prefers the stainless steel model.
My father, on the other hand, has owned a two-tone 18k/SS Rolex for close to 40 years now. He prefers the two-tone model for me. He doesn't believe the watch has a lot of gold (so it's not flashy). He says the tiny amount of gold just adds something extra that I wont get with the all SS model. Plus, the yellow gold goes well with the blue dial (and I agree with him there, I just don't know if the yellow gold would go with my skin or what I'd be wearing).
Here are some pictures:
OR
The picture on the bottom left is actually a WG/SS model, but it looks very similar to the completely SS model, so you get the idea.
I don't plan on making a decision until I'm 100% sure I know that's what I want. Right now, I'm leaning towards the all Stainless Steel model, but a month ago I was leaning towards the two-tone model. I thought it couldn't hurt to ask you guys what you thought, since a lot of you seem to know how to dress well.
