Quality of gold plating


m78D

Question

Good morning,

 

I was considering to buy a gold plated rep as a daily beater but I wasn't quite sure how the gold would hold up. 

 

I read a few other threads which all were a bit older and they said that the first signs of wear and tear set in after a few months. I was hoping to wear it for the next year or two.

 

Is there someone here who has more experience or knowledge about that topic? Maybe even someone who uses a gold rep as a daily.

If you like it go for it. However i do wear all my stuff in rotation so nothing gets to much exposure. I also treat my gold stuff with Renaissance wax regularly to give them some little protection. The quality does vary but some of my gold plated watches are four years old with no signs of wear. Very few have signs of wear except where they might be damaged. Be careful buying second hand as people do not always disclose any damage. Unlike stainless steel reps if there is damage you cannot repair them by rebrushing and polishing.
