    They say in Italy that you can never be overdressed.
    I think the same holds true for watches.
    With men's suits slowly returning, a gold watch just fits.
    Enjoy!

    Again ... There is NO law against wearing gold with jeans and a polo. Just made this point with a friend who just landed a RG PP Aqua-Naught and is struggling to find a role for it in his collection.

    I agree with this, and with formal wear, which never disappeared completely, to my mind only a thin, elegant gold dress watch will do. I remember (only 20 years ago) when the full retail price of the classic Patek Calatrava dress watch was a mere $11,000. Sigh.

    Remarkably, Mr. T has, in a sense, been in business longer than many corporations!

    You are right...I see plenty of people in their 80's wearing yellow gold...

    Sometimes I dream of selling my modest collection and buying this, fairly sure my wife would disown me but I’d die a complete man.

    Actually, with the passage of time and changing styles, this 36mm watch, which used to be massive, is surprisingly wearable now. In fact, if you mate it with a nice strap, these early 1803's/6611's are impressively understated.

    I don’t know about full gold but I love my gold AT on a black croc strap, never had any adverse comments only polite interest!
    Photo from holiday earlier in the year just before going to a nice restaurant!

    Here'a a nice one (18k rose gold; screw-back; 34.5mm; mirror/sector dial) that doesn't receive enough wrist time, if anyone is interested... ;)
