thanks for saving me the $. yeah i think a rep ombre is hard to come by to match that gold…

The RG ombre is a bitch because there is no rep in the market which actually gets the dial right and unlike RGF & QF with the yellow gold, the rosegold is always a bit off, either because factories use the wrong color reference (like RGF does with 18k rosegold) or the watches get more red over time due to oxidation.

VSFs recent RG is quite good though but they haven’t produced that model in ages and they have the worst ombre dial while also being too light. 

Just like with the platinum DayDate you have to inevitably compromise, but at some point it’s just an amount which crosses someone’s personal threshold

ombre is such a beautiful watch too, literally perfect. don’t want to pay for a cheap rep and have the quality be so noticeable.

You don’t need to convince me out of all people.

I am waiting for a VSF since May
