Hi everyone. Sorry I am new to the replica watch world. Here is one of the example list specifications said “18k yellow gold plated 1:1 replicated solid 904L stainless steel case”
So is it really a real 18k gold plated and real 904L stainless steel or just the color looks like 18k gold and 904l stainless steel ? Thanks everyone!

You have a LOT of reading to do here BEFORE you purchase BUT, yes generally, if it says it 904L then it usually is. Now the colour of the gold compared to gen can vary a little but research will tell you all about this. I would say that unless you feel it fun to do the research then trust what the TDs say, especially if you want a rep that will fool 99.9% of the population provided you don't take it off your wrist to show someone who REALLY knows about watches.

No it's not real gold plating at all

I did some research but can’t find anything yet. That’s why I created this thread

Thanks for putting this post up. I was wondering the same. Typically I would never consider anything gol, gold plated, etc…….but for some reason a Rolex rep gold plated with the Oysterstrap does it for me. Don’t know why tbo. So good to read I should steer clear of it. Thanks again for sharing everyone!

Thanks for this post . I dont care about the gold but I do care about the 904L steel . If anyone here can recommend me the watch makers who are actually doing a great job in 904L and its 100% real then I am definitely up for buying a replica with 904L 100% real steel

This is demonstrably incorrect. The top tier reps have been using 904L for years and this has been tested and ratified on this very forum.
That’s interesting. Do you any link for the tested and ratified?
