Fools gold?

I don't think so - more of a classic dress watch, now fitted with a nice Louisiana Alligator strap to go with the 18k buckle. I don't normally wear yellow gold, but I thought this was worth a punt.

I'll post some nicer pictures later, as I'm a bit rushed at the moment. Its not bad for 26 years old, though!

Nicer pictures? - I would've been dead chuffed with how these pics turned out. As always a quality watch complimented by "quality pics"

You mean the watch is from 1986? Looks more like early '60s by the dial and hands...What's the SN?

You're quite right, Adam - I'm an idiot. It's from 1963, with a 964xxx serial

Absolutely! Something about a gold watch, with a brown strap really gets me!
