Here here, well said. A "Sport" watch should be durable in appearance as well as function. I prefer SS as the basic material, gold accents are a nice touch for me. But IMHO a gold case transforms the sport watch into more of a dress watch with a sport design and capabilities. Polished center links therefore somehow look out of place, unless on a TT.

The only way they'll match the cobalt blue is to USE IT and have the ceramic match. I want to see it for myself, but...

Could somebody please tell me what the serial number for this watch is. Also, does anybody know the story behind this watch made for the Asian market?
