Is it worth it for solid gold?
Ok so I was in my usual grey dealer having a look tonight and to be honest the FC 44 isn't floating my boat so to speak ... so.. while I was there I noticed he had a solid gold 44mm novelty in mint full set 2014He proposed a deal to trade my FC and my sd4k +$4kusdNow I really like the solid gold and it's got heft but is this a good deal? Is it worth that much more then my forged carbon? The deal is in the table for 24hours only because he's got a buyer for the sd4k now... opionions guys? Am I gonna do my money on this?

OK Omega....Let's Talk Contrast
Hey Guys:Omega makes a fine watch. I own 3 and I cherish every one of them.However, as a manufacturer, they seem to overlook the possibilty that the contrast between the hands and the dial just might not work.They got it 100% right with the SMP; the 6 white hands over a matte black dial is pretty awesome.When I made my Mitsukoshi Replica, I was able to source black hands that show well against that premier white dial.Unfortunately, they really missed the boat with their 211 and 3211 series of Panda dial products. It also showed up with the 35th anniversary Apollo 11 watches.The silver hands against a white dial become total camoflage in most lighting conditions. You throw in a pair of eyes that are 40+ years of age, and you better have a minute repeater on your wrist.OK, my rant is over; go back to work; if you buy a watch, make sure that you can actually read the time on it....

47 mm question
I am venturing into Panerai. I only have Rolexes. One time we were waiting for a table on a restaurant, I wandered inside the Mall and saw Panerai(s) on display and one model caught my eye. I went inside and asked what model it was? The salesperson said 557 and got it from the front display for me to try. It dwarfed my fatlady (16760). Anyway the salesperson said it looks nice on me. Don't you just like salespersons. I know big watches are the trend. I am still old school when it comes to watches. I know there are 44-45 mm models but the 557 or 372 with the gold hands and yellowish sandwich(?) markers against a black dial are sweet. Can I pull off a 47 mm? I am 5'7, have a 7 inch wrist and wears size large gloves. What do you guys think?
