gtwc 1 Posted September 7, 2011 Having resolutely stuck to s/s and Ti for all of my reps (so far) I am wondering if, as part of the 'rite of passage', everyone should own at least 1 gold / RG cased watch (bracelet optional, but I feel that would be 'over-egging the pudding' and it is also the part that is the scratch / ding magnet. Luthier (damn that man!) only got me thinking about this after posting those fuckin' fantastic pics of that amazing watch .......The Patek 10-day Tourbillon (art deco case) in Red / Rose Gold. Apart from the lack of an actual tourbillon (only visible in the dispaly caseback) and a couple of minor selling mistakes on the engraved movement - it looks fantastic. The nicest watch I have seen all year. The dial side is indistinguishable from the real thing. So............gold or not gold? THat is the question. Opinions please. ps: I haven't yet progressed to chronos either 'cos a) would never use them and the less things to go wrong with a movement the better, IMO.

gtwc 1 Posted September 7, 2011 I bought Roberts 'golden Bridge' from Robert. It is a very classy dress watch and gets more comments than any other watch I own.... I agree - nice+. If I was still in work (I'm retired) that would be on my 'watchlist' ('scuse the pun) to wear at comapny jollies and dinners - i.e. to piss people off and see them turn green with envy!! Seriously, lovely watch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HWG 11 Posted September 7, 2011 Not into gold watches or jewelry at all. My parents bought me a gold Seiko when I graduated high school. It just sits in the watch box now, probably never to be worn again. I have seen some pics of gold watches, and some look good, but I would never purchase one for myself. But hey, to each his own (gold or not gold) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

greg_r 83 Posted September 7, 2011 Yup. A gold watch or two (preferably RG) belongs in every collection imho (and that comes from someone who doesn't normally particularly like gold - even my wedding ring is white gold). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
