Gold with leather is a very nice combo.
All gold bracelets are too much for me.

The problem was you were suppressing your inate good taste. Now that you've opened the door to your psyche the world can be filled with gold.

Good luck, congratulations and ENJOY!

Yeah! That'll do it to ya! I should know, although mine is TT and on an Oyster bracelet, but it's a Zenith El Primero with champagne dial and just the cat's meow.

Thanks for the pics, and wear that beauty in good health!

Well, I love gold watches. Have not been a great fan of the Daytona with the exception on the one you have. I have looked at the all gold with strap a few times and it is on my long term wish list.

That is one sweet watch. Congrats

Beautiful watch, Bruno. That brown strap goes very well with the gold. Wear it in good health, pal!

I'd like to try out that dial on my 116518!

Nice watch,

I'd say that is a keeper.

Gold watches

I think gold is definitely an acquired taste for anyone who's been wearing stainless sport watches for a while. As I've transitioned to gold or TT watches, I've found that it takes a day for my eye to adjust when I switch to gold, then it takes days for for me to decide take off the gold! I have always thought white metals can be just as bright and "blingy" as gold, if not moreso, in normal daylight; so the bling factor doesn't deter me at all.

I really like that dial on your 16518. Too bad it isn't available for the new Daytona movement.
