Client meeting yesterday with him wearing a rather attractive watch. Did not like to ask but I'm sure someone will identify for me. Rose gold chunky squarish case that was very predominant where the strap clips in with what looked to be a black rubber / material not metal strap . expensive knowing him anyone help?

don't think so, very rose gold case, squarish, no markings on case similar colour to this

edit to say large case, certainly bigger than suited his wrist!

I'd just ask him. In my experience, all my friends/clients are more than happy to show off a fine watch and talk about it.
Everyone likes a compliment.....

i have one - which funnily enough i was going to put a thread up for!!!

this was on the wrist of a gentleman - automatic watch, white face, brown leather strap with gold coloured markings on the face - 3 lines of writing under the '12' which i can only assume was the model name rolleyes

give away though - was the cut out at the bottam of the face, revealing the movement!

really nice watch and a good spot i think on the London Underground!

Help?!!

i would have thought the fact it was an automatic and had a cut out showing the movement would have limited it somewhat?!

ps. should have added it had 3 buttons on the side, was a chrono and quite large

Thanks for your comments guys, appreciate it is a little difficult..unfortunately the watch was well hidden under his cuff and just kept peeking out and I was at the other side of a long table.....it was the size and unusual colour of the smooth (ie no crown) case that caught my eye

From what you first said I immediatley thought of an Eberhard & Co Chrono 4 Temerario, but I don't think they make them in Rose Gold.

Only other watch I can think of atm which has the winder by the strap lugs rather in the usual place and can be bought in Rose Gold is the Corum Golden Bridge.
It's a skeleton watch though, but then again the lightness of the face may be just the guys pale skin that you could see showing through the face of the watch.
