Top 10 Gold Watches
Gold watches represent wealth and status, and in a sense, it has always been that way. Having said that, watch makers used gold as a case material for very practical reasons in a historical sense. Gold as a metal has some interesting properties, from being easily machined to being heavily tarnish-resistant (it also takes a polish really well).

Eventually did see and try on a 5726A Annual calendar on strap. That was the only Nautilus anyone had! Basically, I had to order it sight unseen. If so many people are wanting it, it must be good! So I inquired with my local AD and got the there's five year waiting list routine.
