"The "Wrapped" Gold Sub Guide"

[johnlogan]

That is honestly reassuring to hear. I have a few gold reps but always have this nagging feeling whenever I wore them that the clock was ticking and the gold would come off at any second. It's good to know that it isn't nearly that bad and that I can enjoy them much more. Time to break them out of the watch box!

Wear the shit out of them! It’s summer. Time for bling.

4 years old BP RG plating! Still impeccable.

Looks good

Yes. How can you tell which factory it’s from?

I have the same watch, but the standard model, 116610 LN (steel). Date wheel and insert are the easier things to identify as ARF if you have a trained eye. Cheers

How long have you had yours for? And how is it holding up.

Holding up very well after a month. There are many ARFs around. You'll find a lot of information here

Wow! Looks great! The rep bracelet is really holding up. How often do you wear the rep bracelet? Most posts I read on all the rep forums would have you believe that you wear a plated bracelet and the gold will rub off in a month.

The only place where the gold
Rubs off is at the inside bracelet where the clasp rub against its.

The pictures shell show the big difference of the colour

Swim. Never went swimming with it on. But I do was my hands constantly and I do use soap. And no issues there.
I also sweat a lot and the gold on the inside seems to be the same.
Hope this helps.

What do you think about Noob wrapped version of GMT 2 ( included link wrapped) CHS? It is sold by Intime too. Do someone get it?

Which factory is this?

You can see how yellow the gold is on the ARF. To me it just looks bad / cheap. The noob on the other hand is lighter but imho looks much nicer. I can take some better pics later and post. I hope someone finds this helpful.

Thanks for those comparison pictures. I have read this thread (as much as possible before going nuts) and am swaying towards the Noob 116613 gold wrapped bluesy.
Question is.......is it worth the extra money ($150) compared to the new ARF Puretime have on offer?
Also the movements differ...............is it better to pay less for gold plate and have a 2824 or go wrapped with a 2836.
My brain has just about fried with all this reading.

I would go with the noob especially if the SELs are gold. Thats just me, The biggest reason for that would be the color of the gold. I have read a lot of people asking how the gold holds up. I wear mine every day. I also wear it swimming as a result i had some spots on the gold other than that gold holds up very good. Yesterday i used a cape cod cloth and they just disappeared.
