Why go for gold?
Everyone knows Rolex is more or less a tool watch: sturdy, robust and virtually indestructible. Professionals in their respective fields wore them: divers, explorers, pilots etc. So it is understandable and accepted that the material of choice to withstan...
Which raises a question...
Are you opening a new thema in your Rolex Collection? Now, you're going into deep trouble. As you will have to hunt: - An all gold 1675 with crownguards. - A 1675 WITHOUT crownguards. - An YG 6542. - And a few other iterations... No, I am not disappointed...
Your question will remain...
unanswered for the time being. I have to go check out your references first. You can be such a devil. Best fernando
Congratulations.
It is indeed a lovely watch, wear in good health. As Nicolas has pointed out you seem to be heading down a dangerous path (so to speak). Best regards, George
Thank you George!
With Nicolas, it's always a dangerous path .... but with so much fun! cheers fernando
Golden Passion
Not quite Rolex .............. but embraceb the world of insensibility and aesthetics !!! All that glitters must be gold , how but how... can anyone resist ?!? I do find that I am especially conscious when I have a tool gold on wirst (no thanks in part to...
Thanks for sharing these two flamenco
They look exquisite and I'm sure their golden charm adds to their allure. Good luck in the RG Daytona, I'm sure it will fill up the empty spot in no time. Best fernando
Hello Fernando! That´s a good point in your post...

Thanks for your kind words Abel.

... kind invitation to show my GMT´s nipple dials. You know... collectors, like parents, do not need to be asked twice, when someone request to see the pictures of their children! May I warn you, that by some strange reason, pictures posted in this nice F...

A path I have been on lately as well...
....but I want the nipple dial and in good shape, so far fortune and luck has not been with me Good catch indeed Best Hans
So you can keep your cool
Hi, Fernando, I am definitely feeling the two tone root beer paired with a denim shirt! Sub zero all the way, my friend! All aside, I completely understand your allure towards gold sports Rolex models, one which I may say, we share, but which I cannot rea...
Your company is always welcome Alex..

Salud!
I will keep the bar fully stocked, Fernando, just in case you decide on popping around this side of the Pacific ;-). As always, it is great to read you! Take care, Alex
