If you are familiar with watches, you will know that watch cases can be made using a range of precious metals. There is yellow gold, rose gold and pink gold (which is similar to rose gold). Now Lee Wah jewelry has come up with purple gold-- eeks, why buy a trinket that looks like costume jewelry?

I have gone yet again on a strap spree, sparked off naturally by the arrival of the Radiomir. I MUST stop. Now awaiting 3 straps (from 3 different strap manufacturers) to be delivered: mustard nubuck, honey croc, and the best of all, aged calf leather strap which, according to the site 'is a close replica of the first fixed sewn straps mounted on the Royal Italian Navy "frogman" watches.'
I'm feeling guilty even as I type, sigh.
