I dunno why, but I've found myself eyeing up steel-gold watches.

This has caught my eye..

I've always liked this. But I know I'll never buy this even if I can.

I tried on the new RG 42mm ROO yesterday at the AD and fell in love. Just don't think I could get rid of both APs and a Rolex to swing it.

I think I want a TT Blue face Sub - but I know if the time came, I could think of ten other things and wouldn't do it...

I'm not feeling the Breitling but the Tags are perfect.

Someday I may swing for a TT Rolex.... with a blue dial of course! But you have to be retired to pull that off, IMO.

Now regarding the Aquaracer... I would rock that today!

I don't generally care for TT watches, but if I were to get one it would be a Rolex. Nobody does that look better.

Those are all eye-catchers Stewart, and everyone ! :salute: So smooth, and classy.

The Aquaracer is probably the meanest of the bunch though. Has kind of a stealthy
class that sneaks up on you. Liking how the vertical lines on the dial work with the
brushing on the bracelet, and lugs. :love:

If I were going to do something gold, I'd take a serious look at this:

There's a stainless version with gold hands/indices, which I prefer over the all gold version:

Those Zeniths are nice, especially the steel with gold indices.
Not that taken by the JLCs, ALS and others.. too much 'retired doctor' for my liking :lol:

This was another thought..

Not feeling the gold/SS mix.

The furthest I have gone is my seiko srp455 with the gold hands and crown accents.

I agree on not being a TT fan - except the 16613 with blue dial of course.

Gold doesn't do it for me, neither does two tone :)
