Do you know what parts are tungsten? Any news about yellow gold models or is there still the gold plating not sticking over tungsten issues?

The smartest thing to do IMO would be to make the outer parts of the bracelet links and the caseback in tungsten. That way you can have approximately the same weight as the gen without having to deal with tungsten issues such as rehaut engravings and plating adhesion.
