Can't resist to the pleasure to share with you some pics about one of the oddest FF
In YG! I have to confess that I don't know too much about this special, very special FF... But, as I saw it today, I decided to take some pics of it and to share them with you... You're warned, now... Here it is: That's pretty odd to see, and then to know...
Wow....
this YG FF is cool!. Today I´m having a great Ff day... LOL. Probably the most nice tool watch made always, IMO... and in YG is nice too... I generally don´t like gold watches, but this one is a really nice watch, and a true rare bird. Thanks for sharing ...
And this is just the beginning, Emilio
As I took some pics of 4 other splendid and rare FF... To be precise, this is not 18 Cts Gold, but a gold cased ( plaqué? )... Thanks, Hermano. Best, Nicolas

I didn't think...
that they made it in gold (or gold cased) in the past. Quite interesting Is it yours? enjoy it cheers
The interest is not only esthetical ( or not ), but also historical
I wanted to share the rare bird. After, this is indeed a matter of taste. Best, Ben. Nicolas
For sure
Didn't intend to come across as dismissive. It's definitely an interesting piece, but aesthetically, oh dear! Of course, the same goes for the likes of Submariners in gold...but they don't even have the benefit of historical interest.
Just for comparisons .........
Under the sea shots ... or not Front View Case Back...
Thanks for this very à propos " comparison with the new FF, Flamenco.
Nice bird! Best, Nicolas
