Is this yellow gold or red (rose) gold? I frankly can't tell.

    If it was rose gold, you likely wouldn’t have any doubt. Could also be green gold? The colour reproduction in your pictures is too poor for me to judge.

    The dial is a color they refer to as salmon and I think it's making ny brain see red, red, red.

    My camera is an iPhone 6 and my photo skills are non existent.

    I purchased it at a pawn broker in western Kentucky for gold value plus 25 bucks. It even came with a warranty...lol

    Every good watch deal I've ever been blessed with has been from pawnshops on long car trips. I remember buying this watch because I also snagged one of the first 100 to 150 Rolex 6094's ever produced. Felt like a kid in a candy shoppe.
    y USD

    Paid 360 for the watch above. ahhh, the good old days...

    Actually, I would say that it is more likely to be rose. Bear in mind that over time, without any polishing, rose gold can appear yellowish, and sometimes with a greenish tint.

    My bet is that if you were to lightly use a soft polishing cloth, it would quickly turn to an obvious rose color.
