My Nautilus in rose gold....
I agree with your frustrations completely. Helen Keller could see that rose gold looks great on just about everything. Therein lies our struggle!

If only there was a hardening process....... to render scratches null and void!! Harvey
Bvlgari Diagono Calibro 303 w/ white gold bezel
**Sorry for the crummy quality of the pic. I'd rather spend my $$ towards watches than a decent camera... Does anyone have the (1st gen I think...) Bvlgari Diagono Calibro 303 w/ white gold bezel? The utter softness and scratchability (is this a word??) o...
Gold a noble but soft metal.

There is
There is. Developed by Hublot, Magic gold combines the luster of gold with the hardness of ceramic. Unfortunately I find the look of the Magic gold a little strange though and it hardly compares to 18k gold (despite having the same gold content). Dean
Highly polished gold bezels will pick up hairlines no matter how careful you are.
I have experienced the same with a few white gold pieces.
I, too, had a SS watch with white gold bezel ...
This LE Omega Speedmaster Professional Moonphase had a tachymeter bezel from 18k white gold. Although protected by the highly domed sapphire crystal and being a lot slimmer than yours on the Bulgari, it quickly collected fine scratches. Due to the black t...
