    Pure gold doesn't corrode, of course.

    Thanks for the correction.
    Tarnished due to the presence of copper in the alloy probably ?

    I have to agree, they are very nice. I always thought Gold watches were a bit "Old Man" but not any more. OF2.jpg

    I would rather ignore that post. It might just be true :(.

    I love gold watches and enjoy having gold watches in the menagerie. I even liked 'em when I wasn't so old, hah!

    Haha, ya im here. Loving the gold JB Champion. This is getting me motivated to sell sell watches so I can get more serious about funding (and finding) a gold speedmaster.

    Just posted this in another thread, but hey, I never get tired of gold, so yeah, consider me officially "old". Also, for tarnishing on 18k gold, this is the one situation in which very gentle polishing by a pro works wonders, you remove almost zero metal but do remove the unsightly tarnish.

    From the gold watches in the menagerie showing different hues, one example of each.

    From left to right: 14kt yellow gold Longines 19AS, 18kt rose gold Longines 27M, 14kt white gold Lucien Piccard automatic, and 18kt green gold Glycine 18-jewel movement.

    [​IMG]

    The Glycine is not tarnished but possesses a distinct green hue when compared with yellow gold.
