I stopped by the local AD this afternoon to check out the new Lings and to find a gift for my wife. They, Bere Jewelers, had just about every new model in stock. I was most impressed by the new Rose Gold Transocean Chrono with mercury dial with either brown or gold chroco strap w/ deployant. I can honestly say that THAT is the BEST looking watch I have ever seen in person. They also have a rose gold Navitimer, but the Transocean blows it away. The TO even has a display back & 100M water resistance. The price tag is significantly high, but does not distract from its looks. I know that most on this forum do not like watches with gold, but I can say from this afternoon, there is no contest between the Rose Gold / Red Gold Transocean and the "steel" versions in as much as looks go. The gold version seems timeless, while the steel version seems trendy somehow. I will try to get some pictures later this week.

I also saw a new two tone Galactic 36 auto with diamond bezel. I was this close to getting it for the wife. Then I had a great idea. I could get the gold Transocean and we could share wearing it!!!!

i think the rose gold to is a fair price, a sold gold in house chrono for 20k? not bad, the b01 in rose is almost 10k more and its mechanically the same thing!

I did not mean to imply that the price was TOO high, just that it is a meaningful departure from the steel / ti watches I have bought in the past. It seems that our internal price range is ever expanding. I could see myself making the purchase if the timing was right!! In fact, it was your gold Bently, I think it was, that started my desire for a gold B!! The gold TO is a beautiful watch.

Yeah, that piece is really awesome, like from another world.

There was one in Breitling's chalet during last weekend's Sion Air Show and it looked so gorgeous. :drool:

Now, where did I put that lottery ticket.....
