Maybe will wait it out for the 126613
Don’t want to piss on anyone’s parade but where is my calculation wrong?
Gold weighs about 19.3 grams per cubic centimeter. That means if you had a small gold dice cube of size 1 cm x 1 cm x 1 cm, (i.e., with a volume of 1 cubic centimeter), it would weigh 19.3 grams. So 1 grams would theoretically fill a volume of 1/19.3 cubic centimeters or 0.050 cubic centimeters.
Volume is area x height, (i.e., area x thickness). So theoretically 1 grams can plate an area x thickness totaling 0.050 cubic centimeters. If the thickness is 20 microns, i.e., 0.0020 cm, then the area you can plate with that much gold is 0.050/0.002 = 25 square centimeters.
3g of gold would plate a 20 micron 75 sq cm... I would guess that a two tones need a lot less.
(0.8cm width * 2.5 circumference) *16 mid links + 3.2 clasp + accounting for extra size of sel + bezel + crown = about 41cm2Don’t want to piss on anyone’s parade but where is my calculation wrong?

There is no way they used "real" gold for the wrapping.
Hope to be proven wrong tho!
VSF is definitely on a roll!
I will feedback to them on this, though I believe they are already in production.
Thanks
All the concentration will be on the color tone of the 'gold'. GLHF!!
Would someone care to explain the difference between "wrapped" and "plated"? I know what plating is but I'm not familiar with wrapping.
What do folks mean by this? Are factories known to use some kind of gold alloy or even no gold at all for wrapped and plated models?
