Best gold rep out there?

[Daher]

I'm in love in gold cause I'm middle eastern and I've been contemplating getting a full gold watch, but researching and reading about the type of gold they use for the watches. Makes it so hard for me to choose a great gold rep out there, If anyone got any suggestions else I was thinking of getting the Santos in gold

I love gold too. Unfortunately though, I am just too self conscious to wear something as blingy as what you show. Or something like this https://forum.replica-watch.info/fo...781-c-r-patek-philippe-nautilus-5711-iced-out ... All my gold sit in vaults, to see the light of day only occasionally.

Anyways, I read here that ARF manages to get its plating to be close in color to gen. So I ordered the ARF 116613 (dual tone) just to see if that doesnt look too blingy. You could look for ARF full gold versions.

What do you mean? I'm pretty sure NOOB also has a gen color. As its supposed to be 18K wrapped gold? I'm unsure of how it works really.

I bought a couple of plated gold reps and was not happy with either of them (bad color and poor plating). Wrapped gold is the way to go, if you must have gold. Even then, the thin layer will wear off, or a bad scratch will expose the metal underneath, revealing the watch as fraud.

This x2... while gold looks nice you have to worry about nicking it or getting any sort of scratches. You can always get it re plated but this might cost a bit more than the watch did in the first place.

I am recalling from what I read, that ARF is close. Noob, I dont recall. Maybe so, or maybe not. We should have the metallurgist ABE of Panerai fame comment. But I think he has since long retired.

On a related topic, I still have not understood how one can "electroplate" an alloy. 18k is an alloy. From what I know, one uses electrolysis to "purify". I can understand the method to get 999 or 9999 gold. For an alloy, i.e. "impurify" ??

And WTF is "wrapped" ? Do they wrap a foil around the piece and pressurize it it cold fuses? Or is it a marketing term to get more money from idiots?

def go with wrapped, its more expensive but better look

I think it's like they dip steel in gold so the outside is gold and the inside is steel or some shit, just guessing here but its something like that lol.

it's a marketing term to get more money from idiots. That said I have a wrapped DayDate and I love every millimeter of it so what does that make me
