I've spent over ten minutes looking at just eleven replies ... every watch shown here is worthy of its own thread. @cicindela ... I think yours have just stolen the show.

Loving the love. Keep em coming.

Gold cap - love’em
Bit of pink, bit of yellow - and an SS ‘rose’ between two thorns for good measure.

Sure, I’ll take any opportunity to share this one.
168.027: gold capped and c-case is doubly unappreciated by many collectors and yet this is one of the watches that gets most noticed from non-nerds.

That’s the ref I originally wanted in my Connie. The C Case in gold cap with the coined edge bezel. Love the whole retro look of the C cases.

Honestly, I'm scared to wear gold cap watches on a consistent basis as I'm worried about wear to them. They can still be gorgeous though.

At 5 to 10 times the gold thickness of plating or rolled gold, I don’t think you have too much to worry about.

♫ Gold cap...I've had a few, but in the end, I let them all go..♫

Well actually I do still have a couple left, but I'm firmly in the camp of preferring a solid steel or gold case when that's an option.

Sadly this one never gets worn as I always favour stainless or solid gold.
