Raijor Posted August 22, 2007 Report Posted August 22, 2007 I really can not decide on a gold rep. I am looking for something that is a stand out looker. I am considering a Breitling Bently black dial and Omega Railmaster black dial. I would appreciate feedback on either watch. Thanks and Cheers
Chronus Posted August 23, 2007 Report Posted August 23, 2007 Solid 18k gold Franck Muller Casablanca... they'll set you back $1700+ though. EL had them and Silix had some too (if you ask nicely)... otherwise there may not be any available. Solid gold won't give you the intrinsic problems with plated reps. If you can afford it...
plaifender Posted August 23, 2007 Report Posted August 23, 2007 When I was in NYC last month in the Trump tower I saw that Trump has his own line of "fine" watches!!! Nothin but gold baby!! talk about a man stuck in the ass crack of the eighties gold rush.. I think MR. T is Trumps only competitor for gold gaudiness! but you can't hate on Mr. T.. cuz he PITTIES the fool sucka!!

Solid Gold outa my price range - I'm thinking $350 tops. Thanks though - Cheers
plaifender Posted August 23, 2007 Report Posted August 23, 2007 whatabout a gold yachtmaster or datejust? The datejust always looks classy in gold in my opinion
Kollektor Posted August 23, 2007 Report Posted August 23, 2007 The TT Navitimers seem to get the accolades around here...
fitmic Posted August 23, 2007 Report Posted August 23, 2007 I love the ss Railmaster, so I'd go for the Railmaster. I am not too fond of gold watches, but the ss one is awesome.
georgegrasser Posted August 23, 2007 Report Posted August 23, 2007 I just love my new PAM Power Reserve in Gold. $120
POTR Posted September 1, 2007 Report Posted September 1, 2007 Being, primarily, a Rolex kind of a guy (in case no one noticed yet... ), but a WIS "NIT PICKER" in general, I'd have to say go for the .... O M E G A (choke) R A I L M A S T E R (sigh)
Highflyingclive Posted September 1, 2007 Report Posted September 1, 2007 Avoid yellow gold. It is trailer-park vulgar. Trashy. Go for rose gold. Rose gold has an undertstated, sophisticated elegance. Like this 147 from Joshua, for instance:
FxrAndy Posted September 1, 2007 Report Posted September 1, 2007 Another vote for the gold railmaster, it is just that little bit understated but classy Just got to precious time then omega and limited railmaster 18k be prepared to be impressed
jkerouac Posted September 2, 2007 Report Posted September 2, 2007 Clive's Pam is a killer choice. Also, the rose gold Chopard Mille Miglia GMT is absolutely fantastic. Take a look at the two tone Navitimer or two tone Chronomat Evolution as well. Any of these choices will knock people's socks off.... without being pimpishly obnoxious.
archibald Posted September 2, 2007 Report Posted September 2, 2007 The railmaster LE looks nice in the pics, and if you want a chrono, I can tell you from experience that the TT Navi gold color is very accurate side by w/ gen.
