The Perfect Men's Watch For Women

The Rolex Daytona in Stainless Steel in the last 20 years Has become a symbol of wealth, power and exclusivity. Now, the Solid 18 Karat Yellow Gold Daytona, that's a different story, this is a symbol of flashy insecurity with a touch of asshole in my opinion. Like I have stated in earlier posts, Yellow Gold is way too over the top, especially on an all gold bracelet, and lets be honest it's really for that guy who thinks he has a huge boat, and probably somewhere in his closet he has one of those blue captain's blazers with gold buttons and the white captain hat to be completed with puke matching deck shoes. As you can tell I am really not a fan. This is no fault of Rolex, they never have projected a particular image one way or another, they have only presented their collections in associations with world class things such as Tennis, Golf, Music and Car Racing.

This year at Basel 2008, Rolex very cleverly have introduced the Rolex Daytona in 18K Rose Gold. This in my opinion is an absolute winner. Rose Gold is much more soft and warm aesthetic, exuding subtle confidence. The new Rolex Daytona in Rose Gold On a bracelet have exactly the same specs as the yellow gold version except The Case, Bracelet, Bezel, Push Buttons and Caseback are made out of solid 18K Rose Gold instead of 18K yellow gold, while the dials are available in chocolate brown enhancing the bold richness of the beautiful tone of Rose Gold or with a contrasting black dial with rose colored subdials for a sportier look. Even though this watch is a men's watch and I am sure tons of men will be wearing it, especially the really feminine ones, I feel that it is best suited for a woman. Not all women, just the women who have their own sense of style and don't care what anyone else thinks.

The way the 40mm Daytona case in 18 Karat Rose Gold looks on a woman is the sexiest thing that I have ever seen, especially when the bracelet is not fitted tightly and is worn loose and hangs ever so slightly, it makes me weak at the knees . The size of this watch at 40 mm makes it everyday casual, while the polished rose gold case and brushed and polished rose gold bracelet makes it dressy, which strikes the perfect balance for day/night wearibility. The beauty of this watch is not only the way it looks but the functions of stop watch, water resistance to 100 meters and the extremely robust chronometer certified Daytona movement make it every bit as technical as it does visual.

In a world today where women are pigeon holed for wearing very tiny delicate watches with tons of unnecessary sparkle, it is finally a real pleasure to see how The New Rolex Daytona is really The Perfect Men's Watch For Women.
