Incoming!!!
I guess with the price decrease in HK, it was a matter of time before I picked one up having eyed it for the better part of a year. The AD was doing brisk business (sold 3 PPs by lunch!) and there was a crowd of 6-7 people browsing. Without further ado, here's the golden one for me: 5167R

Congrats to your purchase! Too bad the 5726/1A black dial, 5712R or 5980/1a 5990 etc are out of stock in all ADs here (in HK), or I'd also get either one immediately.

Beautiful watch, my friend. I am thinking of one myself this summer, but probably in SS as I'm not much of a gold man myself
