^ Protzig (=flashy?). Absolutely not mine. I'm generally very cautious with gold in watches. It's a paradox, but often the more gold is used, the cheaper, stylistically, it looks. The Seiko Sharp Edged Dawn, which I am now eyeing and which has gold indices, is somewhat an exception in my little collection. I have a single seconds hand on one of my watches, a rose-golden second hours hand on another (the other three hands on that one are silver), and a green Seiko with golden indices all over it, thats all gold there is in my watches. If gold, then only in indices and hands, but not for braclet and case.
A question of taste, of course. Some like to show golden jewelry, me not. I have no golden rings, necklaces, tie pins, cufflinks.I also dont care for such things. In watches, I ike the play of light with colours and fine visual detail, I exclusively buy watches for their looks, not their value or lack of value, or brand name. I liek to watcn at them,and I do that severla time sove rthe da,y thats why I care. My glasses I dont see, never, and I buy the cheoaets of the chepast internet glasses I get, since 15 years always the same model. I dont see my glasses, and what others think of my glasses I dont care for. A watch however I do see myself, like the paintings on my walls. And I enjoy it.
Golden indices on a watch face with blue-ish sunburst are often a looker however. Like with green, gold and blue is a visually attractive combination.
My darling watch is red and silver, however:
