Very nice example, Robert.
You're absolutely true, there is so much to dig, when it comes to Patina! Is the YG Nipples yours, too? Best, Nicolas.
That's a Personal Question :-)
My nipples have never been called yellow gold . . . Yes, Nico,. The yellow gold GMT and Sub I just posted a few minutes ago are mine! What do you think of all-gold watches? I never had one and now all of the sudden have two! I think the Sub in particular ...
