    It is pink and looks pink if you look and sum up all the photos. Just shot under low Kelvin. Poorly done

    Can't say. It's so easy to doctor photographs online (see post above). I like the case on this one. Looks just like my 14K no-date version, which is yellow.

    Other images on the sale make me say otherwise. Pink is hard to shoot for people using total auto camera jpgs.

    I think it's pink. Agree with Steve. Can be hard to shoot in certain lights.

    It really all depends on how well (or not) your monitor is calibrated.

    Very nice example. I would say yours isn't polished much, if at all. The one in the listing is. I know it's PG, but I would rather wait for one that hasn't been "dressed up", the caseback has definately been polished.

    It can be, but if the lighting of the shot is biased and the camera is shooting jpgs with its own algorithms deciding what color the camera thinks it is photographing. If the color rendition is poor, calibrating the monitor is not going to help.

    in natural sun light; pink is clearly different from yellow gold, in pure artifical light; nearly no difference.

    not omega but jsut as an example from a poor photographer

    http://www.thehourlounge.com/upload/article/image/IMG_1071r.jpg
    the one on the left is pink gold, the one on the right is yellow gold, nearly imossible to distinguish;

    the same pink gold with natural light

    no post treatment, same photo material

    Well, my iPhone knows the difference in artificial light: yellow-pink-yellow.

    Final score was just over $4K. At that price, it better be pink...with purple polka dots! :p

    Was it any of you? ::confused2::
