but i saw one today and i have to admit it is a very charming watch more discreet than anticipated ! could be a decent target

I think the tables are turning a little and the bling that is associated with Gold Submariner or Gold Rolex sport watch is become more stylish.

The watch still has all the feel of a sport watch with the extra touch of gold.  Midas touch.  The tough not the model.

And with a purple nipple dial you have a unique charmer.

Very classy my friend.

... the Rolex Tool Watch theme under a very different and little explored aspect. I love your gold Submariner. I know that to speak of a "Tool Watch" made of gold sounds like some kind of contradiction. And I accept that for wearing this type of watches for their intended purpose there is no better option than stainless steel. As a matter of fact I have been fond of sport Scuba diving since I was a teenager in the mid 1960´s, and my constant companion has been a Rolex 5513, then a 1680, and lately a 14060M, during my circa 50 years in this amazing sport. But I also ask myself: how many pilot´s, diving and explorers´ watches are actually being used for its intended purpose? What about gold Rolex tool watches then? Well... I must say I like them very much. I surely wouldn´t choose any of them for a demanding sport activity like Scuba diving, but I view them as a charming option for sport use. Yes, I know some people associate them with bling or with bad taste exhibition or with what we call down here "a new rich syndrome". But I don´t personally view them this way. These watches work specially well with a nice set of leather straps, with jeans and specially in summer with a good tan on your arms. They look beautiful! I would like to share three of my gold tool watches here: Cordial regards, Abel. Submariner reference 16808 circa 1987. The amazing blue dial of these Rolex watches is turning to a purplish hue which is evident when natural light reaches it in certain angles. I have seen this color change in several dials of this epoch.

GMT Reference 1675 circa 1970 I got this one without its original gold bracelet. I would like to get a gold Jubilee type for it, but I am happy with its looks with a nice set of vintage looking leather straps. I also would prefer a brown color nipple dial better.

This is a reference 6609 Turn O Graph (a.k.a. Thunder Bird) circa 1960 with vintage leather straps.

... make a reference to your magnificent 1680 gold Submariner.

Your watch is stunning and the reference 1680 is the one I was looking after when I discovered my 16808. The 1680 gold has a more charming and vintage feeling on the wrist, against the more "modern" looking of my 16808. I confess I prefer the looks of yours as my preferences goes for vintage.

Of course the original deep Cobalt Blue of Rolex is always beautifuly to view, but it is amazing to see how these blue dials sometimes change their hue to the purple side!

Thank you Anatol for your kind comment and congrats on your beautiful watch!
Very cordially, Abel.

... and I and I also find it charming on the wrist.

I feel it would look nicer with a brown niple dial. May be some day I´m lucky to find such a dial for my watch.

Thanks for your kind comment my friend!
Un abrazo, Abel.

the gold Rolex Daytona is a pretty cool sport chic watch by all standards. 

Indoor and outdoor: 

Who can guess it is in white gold, just looking at it. The weight can tell. Only the weight.

Best,

The tone of the metal is very different from the tone of steel.

I once had a platinum President and it weighed a ton. But to the casual observer it ooked like steel.
Very nice stealth choice.
