By-Tor Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 I'm always going back and forth with the gold watches. On the other hand I love them but I always feel a bit uncomfortable wearing them. I don't know what it is... they're just a bit "garish". I've owned many gold watches. A gen Aquaracer TT blue, owned/reviewed 4-5 TT Subs and a TT Breitling Navitimer. TT Sub is one of those watches that I always want to own. But when I get them, I just feel it's a bit "too much". I'm curious to see the upcoming WM9 version. This Noobfactory / wrapped version was the nicest I ever had. Let's see your gold watches!

Watchmeister Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 Only one I have is on the right. Not a two tone guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 I don't think I have ever owned a single two tone in my life. However, building a solid 18K YG 16528 is on my long list of projects; way down at the very bottom of the list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agrippa Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 This is my first and more than likely last watch with any gold on it (except hands and lettering, that is). Gold, whether TT or full gold is really too bling for me and just not my style. That said, you really sold me good on this one with your excellent review By-Tor and I absolutely adore it. I got it from another member here (surely the best way to acquire a watch, I think) in a flawless transaction and it came with the added attractions of AR by Chief and lume by Vac. And once again, I absolutely adore it. Hopefully you'll excuse the picture quality, as it's been a few years since I last used a camera and I'm still very much feeling my way with the new one I recently got. The pic has a very strong blue cast from natural backlight and I just hastily adjusted it a bit in PS so the gold could actually be seen at all.

By-Tor Posted August 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 Yeah... that Breitling Navi TT is really nice. Excellent TT replica, even by today's standards. It simply didn't fit my wrist and I "flipped" it really quick, mainly because of that. But I really liked it. I have considered a TT BCE lately. Maybe someone wants to trade one in EU? I know gold isn't popular among the majority of members, but so what... it'd be nice to see them anyway. I'm a "closet" 18K fan myself.

Slartibartfast Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 No gold to show, sorry.....but I was at a meeting last week in Regent Street, London, talking to two contractors. One was wearing a gold Yachtmaster. I believe it to be gen, because it was simply the 'goldest' thing I have ever seen (and also because the guy was loaded). Mesmerising! Not my cup of tea, to be honest. Just too much 'in yer face'. I looked up the retail price on this when I got back to the office. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chubbchubb Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 I do have quite a few TT watches and also over the years owned a few full gold ones. Although I like the look of them, I rarely wear them. In every day life, I'm more of a sporty / steel guy. one of the reps... one of the gens...

jfreeman420 Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 I used to wear gold and two tone watches exclusively. For a very long time I draped myself in huge gold chains, rings and glasses. These days I find myself wearing steel and silver, white gold and platinum jewelry and eyeglasses most of the time. Here are a few from my collection. Nice wraped daytona Yachtie BCE One from the past Group shot And of corse my signature........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KB Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 I have one, it's my avatar but I can't find the original pic sorry. Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgegrasser Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 An inexpensive ROO with hands that are too small. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dluddy Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 Only one I have ever had although I am always tempted by a Black Dial TT Sub.... This one is very understated and gets a fair amount of time in the rotation... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
