Hope it's ok to post here. M4 ...  

Is it for sale?

Howard needs a new watch, yes? That white PAM could use a little break. Tell him to get one! ;-)

...with a couple of caveats. The rose gold is a bit too 'brassy' to me. Personally I would have preferred yellow gold over platinum or white gold at this price. The yellow of the dial and the hour/minute hands could use a bit more contrast. And the univer... 

thinner! A manual-wind would probably be a good way to achieve this and be truer to the original.
