Wow! Vintage gold is really cool, congrats Does gold get any sort of patina when it is aging or does it remain the same color?

Wow Ken, 1680/8 MF is the king!
Your example is stunning, especially with original bracelet.

I have been lucky to have seen these, as my watch friend here has owned two of these rare birds.

Yours is stunning, congrats.

Hey Ken

She looks absolutely fantastic . And will be unbelievably stunning on the black leather bund. As you know, I'm obviously partial to a bit of leather but the gold and black with black leather really show off the asthetics to the best. A real class act ........ but there again, Ken, I'd expect nothing less from you having seen all your other masterpieces. Simply sublime and not having been a fan of 18k before, which can look a bit ostentatious, this has really opened my eyes up to the possibilities. Wonderful.... Enjoy

I just caught myself staring at the picture of this magnificent watch for about a minute, and then, spontaneously, started to

What a beauty! Watches like this are the reason that I like Rolex, watches with class and dignity!
Well done, Ken! Wear it in a best of health!

I'm not normally a fan of gold sports watches but that's pretty cool! Must be the vintage magic at work...

And this is the first (and, please god, only) time I'm gonna tell another man how pretty his nipples are!!!
