1/2 incomings came today - Now I get the Fuss!!

For yellow gold =)

Sorry guys, the unboxing was pre-mediated after I unwrapped and cleaned this beauty + sized it.

Man the gold is HEAVY. and you gotta wear it a bit tighter so it doesnt flop around as much as the SS models. Hope I get used to the weight!

But in my opinion, it looks great. My wife thinks I look like a young Pablo Escobar with it on, but shes allowed to hate one watch in my collection =)

Thanks to everyone who chimed in with pictures guys - Patrick, Sam, Mike ,Travis, Michael and Tom - you guys made the decision easy





I need to get an Iphone 5 when it comes out after looking at these HTC One S pictures. Blast!

Looks very cool Will......

If you can get away with wearing YG (and can cope with the other half's comments) go for it. I think it looks absolutely sensational on the right wrist and the attitude to carry it off.

Superb....Enjoy
