They are not alone... (different approaches to same ends)
Cartier for example uses gold on the bracelet for the two-tone Cartier Clé only for every second link - thus, there is even less gold used in that watch. I personally have little issue as it also reduces weight (a bit) and takes away the soft gold from a very scratch prone position.
On an AP Royal Oak two-tone the gold is used throughout, but only on the small links thus the cost and weight effect is minimal.
Best,

Zenith Coffee House Tales (xiii): El Primero Stratos Flyback in 2-Tone (hands-on review)
After a rather long interruption I would like to restart the Viennese Coffee House tales with Zenith : this time with the El Primero Stratos Flyback in a rose-gold/steel two-tone outfit , a watch that seems to have captured the warmth of this fantastic su...
Zenith Stratos 2-tone is not a shy retiring watch
You have to admit that this watch has 'presence' although not suitable for all. You can't hide the 'brightness' as the two-tone colour scheme draws attention. I'm a shy, retiring introvert....I know because I was tested! ;) The psychologists tell me that ...
"... although not suitable for all..." - shall I tell you a secret?
This watch is a tremendous success in some markets but not all. A hint: my prime day-to-day contact at Zenith is responsible for Austria & CEE... Magnus
I had a Teutonic watch once.....
I understand. I had an Omega Speedmaster 'Teutonic' two-toned watch once. Yes, pity the fool who got carried away by the Omegamania auction. Apparently,it got that nickname because of popularity in Austria and Germany...... Regards, MTF
I got you!
the greatest affection for the Stratos two-tone come from a few eastern European countries ;-)
Great review
I\'m also of the rather retiring kind, so the watch is somewhat too \'prominent\' for me, even if I find is really nice otherwise. The case is quite substantial from the pictures - does it wear large, too? I really like all the subtle detailing, too, like...
Thanks for the flowers and encouragement...
more is to come! As for the size: the watch cannot deny its dimensions, but it wears flat and has this certain athletic suspense and tension. Thus, it does not appear oversized. I hope my last wirstshot above demonstrates this. Magnus
Bracelet...
I find it very odd that the bracelet is partly SS/RG and then all SS. I would call it a cost cutting measure.
