RG Nautilus is a big hit for me.

This is something quite new to me but, as I saw the RO in full RG or the pictures of this 5980 full RG, I wonder if I'm not evolving positively.
I leave in France and in this side of the world the full gold watches (with bracelet) or mixed Steel+Gold watches are not soemthing considered very classy nor elegant: rather more qualified as "bad taste".
But, however, since several months only, I start to feel I could wear such watches (the full Gold, not the mix SS+Gold).
The Rose Gold metal in itself is very attracting, but as a watch with a Gold bracelet I seem to think (or feel) I would completly accept having one on my wrist.
I don't know if it's a change in fashion trend around us or if I'm used to seing them on forums and horological websites, but my point of view has evolved quite significantly.
Thus, to come back to the RG Nautilus, let me say that I really like the kind of dial they chose (seems the black one, no? Or is it a dark brown?). Secondly, I find it, as it always had a very pure line, quite elegant and classy (!).
The only problem is, as usual when dealing with the 5980, its thickness and the huge pushers.
A very interesting novelty (and it is a novelty) I'm eager to discover in the metal.
Thanks for the beautiful pictures Oliver
Cheers,
Mark
