Is it really a real 18k gold plated and real 904L stainless steel ??

[Wstn33]

The gold on this one looks nice on the website... https://puretimewatch.io/daytona-11...ial-on-oysterflex-rubber-strap-sa4130-v2.html

But you definately want to get it professionally re-plated as already mentioned... Anyone (jeweler/dealer) who knows what real gold looks like will call out "fake gold" immediately if the watch is on hand.

Today we tested all the popular SUBs for 904L steel

Only 2 of them turn out to be using 904L entirely and one of them is using 316L but advertised as 904L and the rest are 316/904 hybrids Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Two of these brands claim to 904L. I am sure they wont be making a fake claims of this

It depends on the watch. I think the „never buy gold reps“ standard is a bit harsh.
I’ve been into yg jewellery for a while and can spot fake gold fairly quickly.
But a few watches and other pieces are absolutely impossible to distinguish from real 18k, even for experienced jewelers.

So much misinformation being disseminated in this thread by folks who are neophytes in the hobby.

Thanks for putting this post. I was wondering the same. Typically I would never consider anything gold or similar but for some reason a Rolex rep gold plated with the Oysterstrap seems good for me. Thanks again for sharing!

Sigh. Gold plated will never be the same as real gold and lord knows why anyone would want to try to pass off a good plated replica as a genuine solid gold piece. They can get close with the tone of the plating but never will be able to offset that nasty little density thing causing the weight difference.
