Am well, just busy with other stuff which is why I don't visit this place as much. Also I've been helping out with a Linux OS, MX Linux, so am on their forum more often.
OK, so I guess the upgraded endgame for me then is to have a AP frosted gold watch on one wrist, the latest Dell XPS (running Linux of course) in the other hand, while rocking a silk gown? LOL!

if you reach this point some day you'll have truly made it! then you can do a TED talk about aspiration and following your dreams....

"But to be fair, the gold-cased Audemars Piguet Royal Oak that has received the Carolina Bucci “hammered” treatment is a piece so exquisitely beautiful that no man could be blamed for giving in to his feminine side."
Yes I could.
That's a fabulous watch for the girls.
Well spotted Lindsey.
Now if it was in white gold, and a few mm bigger, that could be a different matter.

A nice concept as the AP is something of a delicate bracelet that hugs the wrist so should go well with a ladies watch especially in precious metal. That being said for a ladies watch in gold vintage would seem to me to be the way to go considering the huge variety that exists its probably the most inexpensive way to purchase a precious metal watch. Either on a bracelet or on a leather strap and considering if some of them may be too small there are always vintage gents watches that are available not to mention you have a tried and trusted movement that is proven to have stood the test of time I have not been overly impressed with many modern gold watches.
^^ definitely agree with your thoughts on vintage - especially that you get a movement that's stood the test of time. i like this current AP, though, because of this new finish that they've created that gives it such a lovely textured appearance. i wonder what looks i'd get if i walked into a store and asked to try one on?

More than likely get shown the watch you want to try on. Never had a bad experience myself trying on a watch at an AD and I have seen customers from families trying on Cartier watches to a bloke in t shirt, shorts and flip flops trying on a few Rolex watches in another. I doubt they could care less what you look like or how you dress so long as you have cash or a credit card.
