Imitation gold watches are, to me, akin to fake Chinese Rolex watches. The gold coating will eventually wear off or tarnish and then they just look like what they are...fake gold. Not a fan.
But that's just ME! If you like 'em, rock 'em! The only person who has to like (or LOVE) your watch is YOU!
That's it for me exactly. I don't care too much about the brand or the price, etc. If it is relatively accurate and robust, and "makes me smile when I look at my wrist," then it's a keeper. 😎
RIGHT!?!?!?!?! I bought it in 1978 for $850. Sold a couple of years ago for nearly $30,000! Crazy! I loved the watch and had a lot of great memories. But not THAT many. 🤣 I did love the design though. So when I realized I could get a BETTER watch (than my $30,000 "collectible"), with the same look, for about $500, well.....it was a no-brainer.
I already had my Rolex Explorer II (ref 1655) when I, THE JURY came out. But Armand Assante as Mike Hammer wearing it and having it kinda featured in the film really cemented my love affair with that watch. But it became collectible when they stopped making it - and I sold it for THIRTY-FIVE TIMES what I'd bought it for. I replaced it with a Steinhart homage - which is in about every appreciable metric a better watch...but with that same uniquely cool look I loved and love to this day.
