It's really nice.. but my rule of thumb.. don't buy it if the non-gold version looks better.
Why I like the Aquaracer.. I think it's better looking that the steel version, or at least equal to it.

I'm sure it's just a phase, and the 'want gold' thing will blow over. I had a gold plated Carrera, didn't like it much.
I'm gonna impose some self administered therapy by looking at pictures of Ti PAMs :rock:

I'm not usually a gold guy, but after seeing one in person I have a soft spot for this one..Image

I like the Breitling and the others as well. The rose gold models look great.

I have a TT Datejust with pyramid dial. I don't wear it often - mostly saved for special occasions.

If I went gold, it'd probably a watch from when gold watches were "in". Likely a 1680/8:

Gold watch and bracelet would look ridiculous on anyone, NO :think: :shrug:
I think you're both right.. (with the exception of the all-gold AP ROO mentioned earlier.. that somehow works.
I'll stick with my mucky old Autavias :cheers:

And in a mixed Gold/SS, has to be my ChronoSwiss...:

And then a little off subject, to kind of go with the video (see, Panerai's aren't so big!)...:
