路These will whenever the 1970s hairstyles and tuxedos make a comeback (By The Way this was astronaut Dave Scott in 1975)
Will the full gold watches be trendy again ?

Lol... good quip, but amongst non-Wis, most people I know want gold and cant afford it.
Half the millenials who work for me are wearing gold tone fashion watches or no watches at all. If they had disposable income, the gold would be real - they seem to take their cues these days from R&B artists who are re-popularizing yellow gold bling. Even women are in on the 35mm+ gold watch game. Ymmv.
I wore an 18kt accutron 218 yesterday with a gold dial and it was the young women who asked me about it. They were disappointed to learn there was over $1k of gold in the watch case alone and that it was a long discontinued watch - out of their reach.

路Gold goes in cycles, just because its dead in the US does not make it dead everywhere else.
There are certain cultures which will always favor gold due to history or religious ties.
I like gold, unfortunately I have very fair skin and it just does not look right in general.

路I always find it odd that Omega did put gold indices dials in otherwise stainless watches. Totally clashes with modern sensibilities.

路I'm OK with full gold (very OK) , it's bi-metal two-tone that I don't like.
This is the only gold watch I possess, It's serial number is from 1986, I've owned it over 20 years: (it's nice to have a bit bling occasionally)

Yeah, 80 year-old's and rappers...not demographics I tend to get my fashion direction from.
What I can tell you is that I have a good friend who is a goldsmith, and he has his pulse on what people are buying, and he tells me that although yellow gold is making a slight come back, most still prefer white gold over yellow, in particular the younger demographic. Rose gold is also popular (less so than white), and for me would be my preference when it came to gold watches...

路One of my early gold watch buys turned out to be the cheapest of all my watches - certainly less than I paid for vintage Constellations - but its design still gives me as much pleasure as any of them. The vast majority of Movado Museum watches I see online are ugly, clunky distortions of the original superbly clean design, but this one from the sixties gets it right (in my humble opinion). It is the closest to a zen watch design I could imagine. Movado Factories (Zenith) 2552C movement for those that are interested.

路Imho, solid gold watches are already becoming trendy, wether on vintage or recent. Wouldn鈥檛 even apply the word trendy, solid gold is a beautiful element and still today I don鈥檛 understand why acceptance is so low. But I pretty believe soon it will change.

At one time, these were popular among astronauts. Still good enough for me.....
