I should also add...
In Response To: Gold + price = no ()

I was so blinded by the price and the gold (and it's early in the morning here) that I forgot to mention a couple other things that struck me.

1) Too big. 43mm isn't cool. Hopefully they can reduce it a couple millimeters but I doubt I could wear a watch larger than 39mm without a bezel. I'd say the 1163 Autavia is about as large as I could go.

2) Love the pushers and crown. I've always admired the rubber strip around the crown on other TAG watches. It's very sporty and cool.

3) I suppose I could do without the 05 / 15 / 25 markers on the chrono minutes subdial at 3 o'clock, it clutters it up a bit I think.
