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.

Congrats Roger...it looks beautiful. Do you have any other color straps for it yet? That would look good on just about anything!!!!!!! Enjoy it :!: :panerai

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!!
