Cheers guys!

It's a Tudor Date+Day (Ref. m76213), supposedly still in production but only available in Hong Kong and Macau.

Currently listed on the Chinese Tudor website (if viewed with a Chinese IP).

It's 36mm
ETA 2834 Movement
Hollow but solid gold midlinks (not plated)
Solid gold bezel (not plated)
Solid gold crown (not plated)

Runs great, looks even better! It's a steal compared to the 5x expensive Rolex DJ equivalent (for two-tone)

I wanted something with Gold but had a hard time justifying the potential loss on second-hand market if I went with a new Rolex. This allowed me to try it out without much risk. So far I'm digging it a lot, but I think it really only works during the summer. (At least with my otherwise usual pale skintone)

Thanks for the details but I'd still like to see more pictures.
Does it have a sapphire crystal? Are those solid end links?
I'm looking on chrono24 and I'm very tempted.

There are vintage all steel version available too with tritium markers just in case if you like something vintages :). These are only Day-Date or Date+Day available from Rolex.

Sweet watch. I've got a new Tudor D+D in two-tone, but I think I like yours better!
