Re: fools gold
In Response To: fools gold ()

: You are 100% right. My mistake, I never looked
: really clearly.

: When I read "beige" I imagined a
: faded white bezel, but I guess that is not
: what you had in mind.

: But I looked closely at the bezel and you are
: right it is not gold metallic coloured, it
: is a yellowy-brown-beige colour. Which
: matches the dial nicely, but is not gold.

: If I get a chance I'll take pics later as I
: have the dial and bezel loose so you can
: really see the difference.

: Thanks for clarifying that. I'll remembered
: never to argue over gold with a pirate again
