I Swore I'd Never Wear a Gold Watch . . . Until I Met the Invicta Ocean Reef 6759

Yellow gold is a non-starter for me. I hate it on watches and cars. There is no way to implement it in a watch without it looking garish. But rose gold is more acceptable. However, seeing rose gold accents on a watch always turned me off and I've always gone for the silver versions.

And then I saw a rose gold treatment in monochromatic form on the Invicta Ocean Reef 6759, which I found on the Invicta Sunday Run for $110, about a third of what it goes for elsewhere. 

The rose gold is a very warm color and clashes with cool cloth colors like blue and gray. But it complements black, red, brown, olive, etc. 

This is my fifth Ocean Reef. Obviously I'm a fan of the design.

I think you hit the nail on the head with the term "garish." Large watches already run this risk, and a large gold watch certainly qualifies.

Jeff: How many battery operated watches do you now have? When batteries die, do you immediately replace them or do you wear some of your other watches for a while before bringing watches in for battery replacements?

With 30 battery operated watches, some time may pass, a week or so, before I even notice a battery needs to be replaced. At that time, I'll walk the babies to Watch City in a day or two and replace the battery. I've only had to do one battery change in the last year, but a couple of years from now . . .
