Thank you all for posting these watches!

Since all of them are gold with gold do you think the only visual difference is in the dial? If so, then just the dial alone can make them appear like different models. Makes me want to find some to look at--but where would one go?

I imagine it would be hard to pick just one as a favorite because each evokes a different aura. I never considered that before, but I guess it's obvious.
