What is your question ? YG silver?! roman or DD 80grams gold? A plated & wrapped all gold REP SUB has an equal weight of 160grams all linkes included. GEN is 215grams. White gold 230grams. Any increased weight, like 178grams, is added by gluing something heavy on the inside if the caseback. Stop with this nonsense and deal with our TDs only.

johnlogan the seller was saying he gets a DD40 YG or RG from BP or Noob factory and has them coated with 8 -80 grams of REAL 18k GOLD. He charges anywhere from 200-4000 US dollars for this service. My question was has anyone ever heard of a such thing or is this bullshit?

I bet he wraps the cases up in leaves of pure gold harvested from the Golden Mangroves that he has at the bottom of his garden.

How shell he wrap it after the watch is once build together?

This treatment is made with high Temperatur and high pressure. Only possible if the watch is totally in single pieces!

If you wrapped a watch with 80g of gold firstly it wouldnt fit together due to the size increase and secondly it would visibly look bigger and therefore wrong. Complete bs if you ask me
