I have now tried on the very plain black dial with oyster bracelet, which I also like, then I can afford a Cartier Tank Francaise on the side.
I love them all though, even the black mop, but I guess that is far too dressy for everyday.... or....hmmmm :graucho:

Love the plain black dial! And the idea of getting TWO watches... great!! :tup:

Hope you can ^^

I agree with the above, different dial, great size. Love the Daytona! Princess of Norway has this one:

Thank you guys so much! I'm getting this as a second hand watch so cant get the jubilee bracelet :( even though i would have preferred it too..I'm getting a good price on this so im not sure what to do!!

I'm surprised that the bezel is fluted on this milgauss as i havent seen this model around- is it likely that the original smooth bezel has been changed?

Thank you TPFers!! :)

What do you guys think about the pink/roman face? Thinking to get a 31mm. I thought i always wanted a Rhodium, but went to store and tried on the pink one. I think i might change my mind. The pink isnt that pink, its more like a neutral color that matches the skintone, a bit copper side.

What do you think? Should i go for pink?

Is it true that you need to keep your rolex away from magnetic items ?! Should you take your watch off when you're going through security at the airport?!

Thank you

I never take it off, and I don't care whether the scanner(s) beep or not (neither has anyone at TSA, in my limited experience). I don't recall them beeping (usually have those backscatter scanners anyway, which haven't beeped about a watch), and no one has ever asked me to take it off at security.

I travel once or twice a year internationally, through Korean, Japanese, & Canadian airports, and regional US airports like Detroit, La Guardia, Newark, Chicago O'Hare, Raleigh-Durham... never had a problem. I never ever (truth!) take off my watch or any other jewellery.

(Not trying to brag about travel or appear to be an expert, just trying to give a range of the places where I haven't encountered a problem!)

To be honest, I have more trouble making sure every last drop of water is emptied from my water bottle (a stainless steel double-walled bottle, which goes through the conveyor-belt fed scanners just fine) than with watches/jewelry. If you leave even a drop in there, it seems, TSA can see it, and they'll fuss. hehe

Hello Everyone,

I am new to this forum, but have been reading this thread for days. I just love ALL the watches I have seen. I have a lovely Omega Ladymatic, but am about to make my first Rolex purchase. I am very excited and have narrowed my choice down to two lovely pieces. Both are SS, 36mm and have a jubilee bracelet and fluted bezel. The only difference is the dial. One has rhodium waves and the other has pink waves. I honestly love them both, but am torn. Any input on helping me decide would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
Ladymatic

I like the pink also. Love the contrast. You can't go wrong either way.

Tricky dilemma!

Both are so beautiful!
How about getting one that contrasts more with the other watch you have?

In the photos, the lighting makes the pink one look better, but I am sure both could be fabulous!

If I may, I'd like to suggest another way you might help yourself decide: consider other jewelry/accessories you have. Do you tend to wear other colours of metals (such as rose gold, yellow gold, etc)? If so, then perhaps the pink is the way to go! I think it would complement those soft colours, nicely!

Either way you go, it's a lovely watch! Hope you can make a decision that you're delighted with :D
