I have come to the conclusion that Google doesn't work in Australia :!: :poke:

Glad that it finally made it there!

Thanks for the link Fred.

Roff, yes, all modern technology takes time to reach Down Under, lol, why else would it be called Down Under;).

Curious as to whether the ads for the Datora 785 had rose gold/pink gold and yellow gold models listed along with SS? Btw I ordered Richter, will take a few weeks, not sure if that info would be in that.

Oh wow! That's beautiful. Roff, what's Google? Isn't that a number? We use courier kookaburras to get our information down here.

Wow.

I am very rarely a fan of gold, but even a blind man could see that is a beautiful watch!! Congrats on a wonderful find. Wear it in good health.
