    Probably.

    Since he does not mention, who pays for his plane-fare plus the 5-star hotel, he is going to stay-in.

    Thank-you.

    I'll never understand tool watches made of gold. Never bought a wrench, hammer, or screwdriver made of anything but steel so why should a tool watch be different?

    I won't deny I like gold..... but not for a tool watch like a diver or racing/driving chronograph.

    I'm in favor of gold tool watches, they're never used as tools anyway, and watches like the Speedmaster and Daytona do look really great in 18K.

    Apart from Rolex with its Submariner and Daytona, as well as Omega with its Speedmaster, who else has produced tool watches in 18k solid gold and are they desirable, from a collector's point of view?

    Thank-you.

    Audemars Piguet Royal Oaks and Panerai's spring to mind

    All these are available in black & rose/red gold and they're all great looking watches:

    Blancain Fifty Fathoms
    Vacheron Constanin Overseas
    Breguet Marine

    I like black & red gold, but I'd never own one of the above. Dress watches are precious metal, not tool watches.

    Sorry I'm having some trouble here. Is the watch the tool, or the person wearing it ?

    I would honestly buy an 116528 18K YG Daytona white dial if it weren't for the constant stream of awesome watches that pop up every week.
