Me too. In fact, I rather pull off the worst canal street rep than to wear a rep with a lead case.
Lead case or used invicta. Can bet your bottom Im going with the used invicta

Not to get too off topic, but if we are talking about machining and gold and such, I'd sure be a sucker for a two tone solid gold six digit sub bracelet!
White gold is just rhodium plated light yellow gold. Theres no such thing as silver coloured gold. They just plate it with rhodium to make people think its whiter. It is still gold though obviously just with a thin layer plated on top.
I never knew this! I thought it would be a polished alloy. I did some reading and came across a good thread on a jewellery forum explaining this if anyone else was interested.

For anyone wondering what the current alternatives are, see the links below. Even accounting for the cost of gold at the present value and manufacturing costs, that's a steep markup.

Platinum is less than half the price of gold right now - a platona, platinum day date, or platinum yachmaster run might be the move.
I'm a fan of fantasy pieces, so a platinum sub or gmt could also be cool.
