I think the DD suits you better!

I know what you mean though, I have tried on the 116718 a couple of times in person and it is fantastic. I just really don't think me, a early/mid-20s white guy can pull it off (or really afford it!) as much as i'd love one.

Yellow gold looks amazing on your skin tone! Very nice!

Thank you for sharing, I must admit I can't tell which one fits you better as they both look great on your wrists!

I know the one. I was born in Nassau, although I don't live there now. It's funny how, out there gold and TT pieces are the norm and fit in, whereas here in the uk steel is by far the more accepted metal of choice.
