Blue gold
Hi Marc,
Blue gold is a special 21k gold and iron alloy that was developed by
the Geneva jeweler Ludwig Muller. Because of the iron portion of the
metal it can be blued by heat treatment similarly to the bluing of
steel screws. The iridescent blue layer thus formed on the highly
reflective polished gold surface is very striking.
(from my report to a visit to Andersens shop: ahci.watchprosite.com
)
I don't know of anyone else who uses it.

A groovy kind of blue
When I'm feeling blue, all I have to do, is take a look at you, then I'm not so blue. When you touch my wrist, oh I start to shiver, can't control the quivering inside. Wouldn't you agree, baby you and me, got a groovy kind of blue. Sung by Phil cen Colli...

Thanks Don...
...for the information about the alloy and the link to the prior post. The blue gold looks fantastic; it could be used for watch hands also I imagine. Marc.
Boss, your watches deserve a better camera
You need to upgrade your photographic equipment. - SJX
Auw, shut up!
don't get me into another hobby. What you have done to me last year was comparable to the snake seducing eve. The rolex, the DR's, KV, DB, etc. Enough, young man!!! I believe the pics are fine Maybe you need to change your eyeballs or lower your standard ...
Photoshop can make a difference but only marginally
With your camera it's like a steel Daytona. With Photoshop it's like a steel and gold Daytona. With a better prosumer camera it's a gold Daytona. With an DSLR and macro lense, and Photoshop, it's leopard Daytona. - SJX
The key point is...
light. When the light is not good, it's difficult to take good pics even with a good camera. Your pics are nice but I'm sure you can improve them. Your post is welcome because it's a very rare watch. We appreciate it a lot. Fr.Xavier
Thank you.
You are a good moderator, the other one is evil moderator He doesn't take responsible for torturing me with the rolex daytona leopard. He's a dark purist that likes to torment and torture his prey. I used auto camera, macro function, soft colour, low ISO,...
You are wrong!
You should get leopard daytona, sell it it, and buy steel daytona . And you still have the left-over for party in China. cen@jkt
Moonphase indicator
Cen, what is the material used for the actual moonphase indicator? It looks like abalone, or I suppose it could be thinly hammered metal of some kind. Do you know? As always, I'm loving the blue gold on these Andersen watches. Thanks for the photos! ...
I absolutely ...
have no idea. Along with the blue gold. What the heck is blue gold. I just believe in Andersen and I knew instantly that it's a beautiful watch the moment they showed it to me Ignorant is (sometimes) a virtue cen@jkt
