Btwn68n70 Posted April 14, 2017 Report Share Posted April 14, 2017 Would it be an easy tell if a gold rep is worn? I'm looking to pick up a Noob BP FF in gold. Would it be a tell easily since i guess the tone would be off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
automatico Posted April 14, 2017 Report Share Posted April 14, 2017 "Would it be an easy tell if a gold rep is worn?" On gold plated watches the sharp edges tend to wear first along with the bezel area and bracelet where it contacts desks, tables etc. Look at the watch under bright light with a magnifier to find wear spots and discoloration, it is fairly easy to tell. Wear on gold plated cases is usually easier to spot than with steel cases that can be polished to hide light wear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Btwn68n70 Posted April 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2017 The watch will only be worn to Cars and Coffee. It will not see regular wear. I am actually emphasizing more on the visual aspect of the gold rep, ie color tone, reflectivity etc. Does it differ a lot from gen real gold plated watches?

alligoat Posted April 19, 2017 Report Share Posted April 19, 2017 Gen left, rep right- color is just fine on the rep- slightly different but not anything to worry about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KB Posted April 19, 2017 Report Share Posted April 19, 2017 I get this same question with replica jewelry, the simple answer is that in most cases the genuine is plated too and usually the replica is plated well enough to last....if you wear them the same way as a gen which many do not.

gran Posted April 20, 2017 Report Share Posted April 20, 2017 (edited) I did have a gold rep VC, the gold started to come of the caseback due to moisture....... I no longer wear Yellow or Pink gold watches they be replica or genuine (save my inherted pocket watch and vintage gold plated Longines after my grandfather and father respectively) I find that these watches are mainly for the ones that want other to KNOW that they are rich. New money kind of. Edited April 20, 2017 by gran Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indywatchguy Posted April 27, 2017 Report Share Posted April 27, 2017 Why not go two-tone? Less gold to wear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
