Turn-O-Graph Model Variation?

I'm looking online at an F-series Turn-O-Graph, but the numbers don't make sense to me: The seller (claims to be original/sole owner) says the watch is a 116263 18kt YG/SS, and the photos look to be Yellow Gold. However, one of the tags and the warranty card show the model #116261, which I believe is for a Rose Gold TOG.
Is there any way that a 116261 could be anything other than Rose Gold?
I've started walking away from this watch, but I thought it might be wise to also cross-check with the TRF experts.
Thanks

That’s a rose gold and steel model. They sometimes look like yellow in the pics, perhaps it’s the way the light reflects. The 116261 is always rose and steel.

That's what I believe as well, but the owner/seller insisted that it's YG...and I didn't bother to ask him to explain the contradiction. So, I'm leaving this one behind.
Thanks

I got a chuckle out of the one negative feedback he has

It looks like incandescent lighting. I think it looks yellow gold even with trying to discern a pinkish hue. If the owner swears by it? Maybe he's color blind or doesn't know rose gold?

Ask for better pictures, maybe one under fluorescent lighting and one in the sun? That should help.

I would walk away...in my opinion if the watch is the X21 is rose gold and the X63 is Yellow gold and the X64 White Gold. If the seller is unsure and references a Yellow gold then it would be suspect.
