Many thanks sir, I hadn't ever considered rose gold until I was browsing the sales corner one day and...Originally Posted by poppy
"not that many gold watches" - And to think, it's supposed to be the British that are the masters of understatement...In my Collection,its not that many gold watches, but i still got these.

I think the pics in this thread high light the fact that a slim gold dress watch looks superb.
Unfortunately a chunky sports watch in gold, on say a watch such as a Daytona, looks really gauche.
Chunky gold was fashionable during the seventies and let us all be honest, it looked trash.
Can you imagine how hideous a Deep Sea Sea Dweller would look like in 14ct gold.

I don't think they would make a DSSD 14Ct But I would buy one in 18ct. Daytona I think looks quite delicate in WG or YG It is really quite a small watch.

I'm with you on this one Tim I would buy a dssd in 18ct yg I already have a yg Daytona and yg sub both of which are worn as everyday watches and have the scars to prove it
These two are solid
And these two are plated - they're the ones that started me in this hobby so I'm quite attached to them.
In the Sotadic Zone, apparently.
I'm stunned with this thread!
Congrats on some amazing watches!
My humble and plated contribution from my late grandfather
This picture doesn't really do it justice. Pie pan dial, 38mm.
The almighty Gold Bird!

Gold watches make a nice change.
Cheers,

That's lovely. How old is it?How about this for the cheaper end of the market....
Every time I see one of those white gold Subs, I have the I wants. Unfortunately, I see one almost every day.
"Gold" for me is strangely the watch that I bought following my Grandma passing, and my Grandad's old watch...
Never seen that model before........what model is that and from what year.This picture doesn't really do it justice. Pie pan dial, 38mm.
The writing chronometer sounds funny to me (german text, not french?)
Its about 2 yrs old, bought here from SC in October last year......still a few crop up new, on the bay from time to time
Lovely watches. My current grail is the 18k Day Date. Saw one on a Friday thread a few weeks ago and fell in love.
Good enough in steel, but outstanding in gold.
Here's mine....
I only have two: Vacheron Constantin ref. 6378 og Patek Philippe ref. 3998.

This one's a keeper, put it back on the Rolex Black Leather and it looks better than ever.
Thanks!
What rolex is this?lovely Rolex
My only gold
That is a beauty!!!This picture doesn't really do it justice. Pie pan dial, 38mm.
Passed on one of these for my first Yacht-Master and regretted it ever since.
Pity it's not solid gold.

Hi pacchi - I have a gold rolex with champagne face on a tan croc strap and I think it looks great. One day I will learn how to post pics (on my to do list!)The only AU watch I wear regularly.
From my late Stepfather Charles. It was given to me on a solid Gold Milanese band, which is a little bit over top for me.
After cleaning and complete service. I put it on a rather handsome Ostrich strap and I think I am going to try to find a nice fine Gator or Lizard strap for it...what do you think?
It looks good on a black lizzard strap - here is the sales thread I got it from (I hope RickChard doesn't mind) http://forum.tz-uk.com/showthread.ph...ght=gold+rolex but I prefer the tan - a little less dressy

Well I did say it was the cheaper end of the market !
Some Great watches, here are some of my Gold coloured watches, at least one is made of Gold.
This picture doesn't really do it justice. Pie pan dial, 38mm.
It's an Omega DeVille, and as it says on the dial, it was a limited edition of 1000 in yellow gold, 1000 in pink gold and ( I think) 1000 in platinum. The watch dates from 2000. It was the first watch Omega ever released with the Co-axial escapement, and this one is a caliber 2500A, running at 28,800 bph.
Here's a link to an article, if you're interested. http://people.timezone.com/library/t...87724805691831
According to my 19 year old niece, Rose Gold is very much in fashion now, so us old gits will probably catch up in a few years.
my most blingtasitc gold plated number, very rarely makes an appearance but when it does im normally pleasantly surprised by the non-watch idiots comments, personally I love it as a stand out bit of sillyness
I like that a lot, what year is it?My only watch with a gold case, etc.
Best wishes,
Bob
Sorry just seen the Glashutte,
Like that even more but wouldn't say no to either.
I'm not sure. My guess is late 1950s.
Best wishes,
Bob
This is a cracker!Another case of "it's not with me anymore" - too precious for me really.
Haha brilliant! The pearl looks a bit off though...Seems appropriate for today...
(Not mine, btw)
Seriously though there are some great watches in this thread. I like Java's Omega a lot - has it been fully restored?
Is it me or does that rolex have an amazing dome crystal ? Looks superb.
Whilst I'll agree about the slim dress watches. I have to disagree about the 70s chunks.
Well that's from 69, but I think it speaks for itself.
Some absolute stunners in this thread chaps.
Yup, that's what happens with those loan watches...
A hummer:
A very special (to me) 1944 Tissot chronograph
Yep. My favourite of the lot.

At last my new DJ arrives :)
