Hello. I'm researching two rose gold watches. First is the new daytona, with chocolate Dial. Second is the calatrava that makes the consensus list.
Im leaning toward the RG over the YG, as its less common, and therefore less likely to find yourself in a direct comparison.
I read the threads that gold plating has no gold in it at all. This is expected because I've seen that noob use pvd plating rather than normal plating (which used to be only in industrial usage as not practical to do a single item). The anology is pvd is like spreading butter on hot toast, and the normal way is spreading on cold toast. It plates on a molecular level.
Im looking at rubber strap as the weight will not be so off (steel weighs a third of gold - which begs the question of why they don't make gold reps out of tungsten and plate that)
Has anyone bought a noob rose gold watch and compared to gen? Be interested in first hand feedback...
