rblippy Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 I recieved my rep Pilot Chrono-automatic in rose gold (IW371713). I was at the watch story and saw the real one. Even though it is rose gold is is similar to yellow gold. Making the rep look off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 Sorry to hear that. It is tough enough matching up any off-colored metal even when solid gold as the different color is achieved by introducing impurities. When plating looks close in color (but never in sheen or depth) that is just luck. By the way with the exception of Rolex who tends to to stick to a strict formula you can even find differences in different runs of the same gen.

pezzy Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 (edited) is the whole casing of the gen polished also? edit: found some pics, looks like the rose gold rep isn't as good as the SS in terms of accuracy of the casing and hands. top half of the gen RG is polished and the hands have gold borders. still, its not going to stop me from buying one !
