    Pink has been cool for well over 100 years. It is cool again.

    One advantage (?) to having been around as long as some of us have, is remembering back to the mid 1950s when all the rage in men's (and possibly women's) fashion was pink and charcoal! Pink and charcoal tweed in men's sport coats. Pink and charcoal ties. And let's not forget pink and charcoal cars! And how about the rose gold phase in watches during the 1940s! Please tell us more about that beautiful rose gold hunter, John. Beautiful!

    You mean rose gold/ pink gold? Yeah I like it but I can't quite carry it off that well unfortunately.

    I do see it becoming more popular again, and rose/pink gold + brown/grey is a combination I particularly like, for example in the Reverso Chocolate, or the Moser fume dials (rose gold + brownish-grey dial) or the VC Patrimony (RG + grey)

    (I should qualify though that I'm not the owner of this watch - my actual SS Reverso is in the background!)

    My heart really wants the Smurf, but the "Pink" Daytona has got me thinking =)

    That had more to do with the the metals needed for the war effort than popularity. It did catch on though.

    Rose gold just works. Doesn't have to be dressy.

    The Reverso for me is meant to be an SS watch. Looks weird and fussy in RG.

    Orange is the new black.

    Isn't that a TV show?
