I spotted it on his wrist the second I got to the job. Had a few peeks to make sure it was gen, then started talking watches, as you do. Said he paid $10,000 back in ‘87, at a guess it say it would have just about doubled in value. 

Lovely watch, but handling it affirmed the fact that gold watches are not for me.

Do we call this model a Root beer?

It is indeed a rendition of the Root Beer @Thommo82 the one you have captured is less often seen than the bi-coloured bezel ones like below:

I agree with the valuation & with it being full gold as apposed to TT makes a big difference to the value/collectability.

At first I thought that perhaps the bezel has all faded into the one colour, but in reality it has barely faded at all. I almost prefer the single colour bezel for this model. 

Had a fair heft to it, especially as I’m used to handling SS watches.

Got mine yesterday. I wish the face was a little more matte finish, but other than that I'm liking it.

Confirms that gold watches don't appreciate by much... Compared to it's steel counterpart that is...

Checked the secondary market? The blnr Batgirl is worth 16-18k depending on condition. MSRP ain't worth a hoot for Rolex sports now

Just a cheap little digital to ease the withdrawal symptoms as I save up for the good stuff

It really is a gorgeous watch.  Well built and the strap is awesome.  Plus a 20% code!

Those are owner of the boat hands.
