Looks more like yellow gold than rose gold in the sun:



And here's the PVD rose-gold clasp I got for it:



Like all deployant clasps on small wrists, it's not as comfy as a standard buckle because the hinge on the underside is off-centre. But it goes really well with the watch looks-wise.

What's the material in the dial? It looks like, dare I say it, quartz

Hi, IAJ, it's the most interesting patina I've ever seen, where the tarnish on the original all-black dial has eaten through the black layer leading to a "marbling" effect.

If you examine the dial up close, you'll see the dial surface is not smooth, as in the tarnished bits are raised.

On the other hand, maybe it's the black paint that is disintegrating and showing up as clumps on the surface, revealing the original gold colour of the dial underneath, I'm not sure.

What else today but the vintage Junghans

That is interesting. It genuinely looks like it's part of the design

Hmm, I posted this before but it got deleted by accident I assume, something to do with the 5 post review system.
My Orient Ray, from yesterday, that I'm wearing today. It's smaller than it looks in photos, I heartily recommend one.

Excellent acquisition stefs. I have an Altas myself, although not that full lume version (which looks great). The titanium case certainly makes for a light and tough watch. I found longer term that the standard Cordura strap didn't really work for me, so mine now sits on a NATO. Enjoy!

Seiko today
