On a serious note, have you contacted your insurance company?

What's the best way to insure watches ?

Hi you are correct from the images online I had seen the bezel appear black however upon further checking the bezel and surrounds of the smaller dials are a dark brown colour - please see pics c below of the specific model I was referring to

Gold Rolex’s don’t hold their value all that well and have a questionable image as they’re incredibly showy. Unless the Slum landlord done good/shady Eastern European gangster/used boat dealer is a look you aspire too.

Tbf I kinda agree with the above comment
The gold day date was always my dream if I could one day watch and the gold Daytona is kinda sexy but now I’m older (or in a position to actually purchase and not just drool over it) I’m starting to gravitate towards the platinum Rolex’s which were not even on my radar before (prob due to them not being showy enough, whereas I now enjoy understated)

My god this thread is PH at its worst.

Well done OP, nice watch.
