@kenzie835 : 'Gold Coloured' is not accurate.
You can have Reps Gold Plated (vast majority of them ) or Gold Wrapped (only selcted models and Factory).
Moreover, some specific watches can even have a Solid Gold Case, but it is very,very rare and also pretty expensive.
That said, 'Gold Coloured' is not correct.... at all

Hi buddy
Welcome to the RWi Forums & Community
Let me explain on the "gold colour" question you have.
Most of the current replicas (mid to high end) are gold plated (not coloured). Of course, as everyone knows gold is very expensive now, this gold plating we have on replicas aint plated to very thick coatings. Plated gold can be anywhere from 1-10 mils.
Of course there is also the gold wrapped versions with a lot more gold used but of course that reflects in the pricing of the replica watch.
Solid gold replicas are now very scarce unless you want it customed made but that will be a longer process and a huge deposit upfront for such project is needed.
Thanks..

Well, this was really helpful. Thank you very much indeed. However, it seems that not every TD offers such kind of treat.Good first post, here you go.

You can ask them (TDs) to find them if not listed on their website.
I had once (and then I sold) a wrapped Rollie Root Beer (126711 CHNR) wrapped, it was really something!
Edit : it was this one

Is there any difference between "wrapped" and "plated"? I know theres a VPD process as well. I'm not sure which is the best representation of natural color. I have a plated one from Flandad and it looks good but not quite there. Wondering how a wrapped from a TD will compare.

Generally in layman terms, "Wrapped" is the better version of "Plated" as it is more microns of gold plating on the stainless steel surface.
Thanks
Thanks
How many microns is the wrapped vs plating? Is there a ceramic coating on top of it as well for durability?
@Brad0021 : A TD like @trustytime can answer this naswer better than me , but usually Gold plating goes to 3 to 5 micons of Gold, while Gold wrapping is >15 - 20 microns like this for example
Your mileage may vary, anyway...different factories equal to different wrapping methods and thickness I suppose

Ooo yeah that’s pretty. Looks closer to real than what I have at the moment. When I put my YG played Daytona up next to my 18k wedding ring and chain it’s definitely off, more orange. But this looks much better. Thanks! I’ll ask the TD on my next one.

Yes. This is usually about the microns for plating and wrapped.
Great job buddy.
