Gilt love - Let's see them :)

Just took a couple of pics of my gilt GMT in the sun. For me few things can be as beatiful as the old glossy dials. Please post yours.

Lovely Gilt my friends!
Here is mine: 1961 GMT ref 1675, exclamation point, gloss/gilt/chapter ring "cornino".
I call her my Fuschia love as per the red decoloration of the bezel.



Kind regards! Abel.
