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 tachymeter scale engraving, however, these were not very conspicious.

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.

Very handsome watch. The gold bezel prevented me from purchasing that exact model. I think a gold bezel is another in a long line of completely useless design features in a sports watch(IMHO). I had the same experience with a Cartier Santos 100 chronograp...

I agree with your frustrations completely. Helen Keller could see that rose gold looks great on just about everything. Therein lies our struggle! I own the PP Nautilus Chrono, blue dial, in stainless. But have dreamed of it in rose gold with the same dial...
My Rolex Datejust in SS and yellow gold
By: psychotic : January 12th, 2014-15:35
My old Rolex Datejust seems to wear fine. I've owned that watch for over 15 years now (it was my 1st mech watch =) ) and came with a gold bezel and SS/gold bracelet. The watch aged fine considering I absolutely abused this watch. I basically never took it...
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
