Aqua Lung red gold grande date: opinions?
By: Tonneau1 : March 9th, 2016-08:52
To me, it seems that this watch is very nearly perfect, and love the brushed red gold. I'm interested to hear the forum's general thoughts on it. Thanks! Douglas...
Black and Gold

A true eye catcher color combination. Yet, maybe not necessarily for the shy or sombody that prefers understatement. /Very much a fan of the big date at 6 o'clock. /Nice hands /Central seconds /Applied indices Nearly perfect, I could agree. Cheers, koloss...

Stunning
