And this is why I am hesitant about getting a TT watch, I like the look but not necessarily the baggage that may come from wearing it, maybe a watch where the G element is more discreet is what I should look for.
Nice watch though 👍
I am always amused at those people who are adamant that they 'just don't wear gold' under any circumstances. It really came to the fore when the Apollo 11 was announced.....many dismissed it outright because it had a very minimal use of gold, so not acceptable. I've always had gold watches in my collection and I'll wear them anytime, it doesn't have to be a dress up event. A gold watch is always acceptable. Back in the 20's, 30's and 40's gold watches (mostly gold filled) were the norm, few people wore stainless steel. There is just a warm, hefty feel of a gold watch on the wrist that you can't get with steel. I don't have any gold watches with gold bracelets anymore but have a fair number of gold strap watches that I wear. Gold watches will always be desirable.
with all the crazy prices that SS vintage watches have reached, the shortage of SS at Rolex (so promoting now SS/Gold and full gold) Do you think that full 18k gold watches will become trendy again?
I believe that always will be a classic but makes me wonder if again people will use them as daily watch not just for special occasions. What are your thoughts
Thanks
I think now we no longer need watches as our primary source of telling the time, they are now mostly jewelry, so as that for us men it’s one of the few pieces of jewelry that’s ok to wear, well then gold is perfectly fine!
Would you buy your wife mainly steel jewelry?
