This type of watch is not my taste (too much jewelry, too little time-telling), but it is charming nonetheless. What about pictures of the Altiplano and Double Jeu? *hands clasping expectantly* I'm sorry I missed out on the fun yesterday! I have no doubt it was a great time! Cheers, Daos

My sense is that the warm hues of rose gold add to the effect as well. This message has been edited by Dr No on 20
