Hello all,
I got the rose gold fever (especially after I traded my rose B01 to Sergio!)

So i took the plunge on a piece I have been wanting for quite some time; Panerai 231
I love my 183 Black Seal so much and would not part with it until I had another Radiomir.

I must say, thie is quite an elegant watch. Looks good on brown croc dressed up or down.
I also got a black croc to wear with suits.

I am very happy with this piece of my collection!

Roger

Well that's just pretty. I hate gold but that thing pulls it off very nicely. Congrats, I saw one of those while I was in Vegas, didn't even bother asking the dude at Tourneau if I could look at it. Looks great, enjoy it.

For me, my "hatred" of gold is limited to gold watches on gold bracelets. That always looks seriously gauche IMO. But a quality gold watch on a croco or even calf leather strap usually looks great.

Grats on a very nice looking addition to your collection! I agree it would look good on just about any strap you put it on, but the black will really make it pop I think. Wear it in well and in good health sir.

I feel exactly the same day. I don't like any gold watches on a bracelet (or even 2-tone for that matter), but I have grown to appreciate the look of a nice rose gold watch on a brown strap.


@Roger-She sure is purty. I would love to see it on a brown strap with a little less red in it...that would really blend with the case well.

CONGRATS!!
