Well... smile

(refer to a previous thread) I decided that a 45mm Blacpain FF was a bit too big, and I wasn't sure about rose gold anyway.

So I might have bought a 42mm Panerai in rose gold(tech) because it's smaller than 45mm.

Yes, I know, 'I thought you weren't sure about rose gold?'. But (to use the fat bird analogy) I was set upon by both 45mm and rose gold and I could only handle one of them so I did 'eeny meeny miney mo'.

WTF is "GoldTech" anyway?
I found that with the 45mm FF. I really wanted to like it but it felt enormous.

Size looks spot-on to me. Knowing how watches tend to look bigger in photos I imagine you are worried it looks a tad small in real life? I think it is nice to have a watch on the smaller side (for a change) and, as I say, looks perfect to me thumbup
Thanks for the comments all, appreciate the reassurance re sizing. Think it’ll be a keeper & my first blue dial watch, which I’m really liking smile

Sellers pic, but this should be with me soon.



I have wanted one of these for several years, but they very rarely come up.

When you say "A PHer, who has since become a friend," do you mean "Bad Influence"
Probably.

Ooops!

Not the incoming watch, but I shall wear this to pick up my Root beer this afternoon. Back to back bimetal rose gold/steel watch comparison!

I was a bit shocked at how much these cost now. Omega have gone for savage price rises. This watch on a metal bracelet iss now £11k. This very model on rubber is £7500. Depreciation in them will be savage. Gorgeous watch, but now way overpriced. Yes, it's great, but if you like the idea of value retention to some degree in higher value watches, these are a horrible buy at RRP.

I paid £5300 for this a couple of years ago, from WoS.

I agree. Looks like some sort of instrument from Nemo's Nautilus. All steampunky and fun!

You seem like a dangerous person to be around.



In the flesh it’s lovely. My resolve in the shop lasted about 5 seconds…

Now I need to remember not to bash it into things like I do my plastic runner’s watch!

This is a very nice thing. Straight into black leather though, as the bracelet is a bit much, even if rose gold is more subtle than yellow.

The Omega is far from embarrassed by the GMT Master though. Finishing is as good

scratchchin hmmm, need more photos I think but looks like too many colours to me-steel, gold, black, brown (yes I know that's the same amount of clouds as the standard watch but it's too much black).
