Lovely watch. I never quite understood why you'd want a dive watch in gold - except that you CAN! That looks wonderful!

Thank you all so much, I really appreciate your kind words, I must say I am blown away with this watch, I REALLY never thought I would like it as much as I do and because of my DSSD AND YMII, I didn't think I could get used to the smaller size, but since I received the watch on Sunday it hasn't been off my wrist. The lightness and small size are a refreshing change, defiantly a watch I will put into rotation, unlike some others I own which I will never wear. I love the deep yellow colour of the old gold Rolex used back in 1970, I know my iPad photos aren't great but the watch is in great condition.....it's almost as old as me and considering that, its aged a lot better
