Why is there no gold watches?

I bought a VSF Bluesy and it did look like cheddar, had to sell it because it looked off. I've heard Clean does the (fake) gold better. I stick to SS models for this reason. I would love to have gold but they just can't match real Rolex gold. Plating seems like a lot of effort considering that it scratches easily and eventually wears off.

I got a price for a 128348RBR carnelian dial in 18k solid gold in which everything except the crystal and the movement was custom made - $17K.
I've never been big into gold, maybe because my wedding band is platinum, but I did see a John Mayer Daytona pop up the other day that had been full YG plated and was stunning. The combination of emerald dial and YG case worked very well. If I thought for a second I could pull it off, I would've snagged it.
But the consensus I've read does seem to be that it's just hard to do justice compared with solid gold. The weight is another big issue unless you go full tungsten and then plate.

Thank you! Forgot to add that its a genuine, need to get a rep gold watch to compare it to. I really want a 11/126508 with a green dial
That and a Day Date are my two grail watches in gen for gold watches
I'm a total whore for Rose Gold. Joined to try to buy a good Rep in the $500 range (Breitling Premier), then fill out my drawer with some $300 ish rose gold Brietling's. (If you have a Rose Gold Brietling, I have cash and a dumpster behind a Wendy's, let's talk!)
I love the Blue, it really pops. Have two Gen Rolex, one from my Uncle, one from retirement from NASA. (As you can tell, I'd never spend my money on even a rep one lol). But man... That Blue one. Which one is that?
If referring to the Daytona with the sport dial, it's a highly modified rep of 116523 I picked up M2M from a renowned forum member some time ago. It's badass.
That is gorgeous. I do like the less run of the mill Daytonas. especially the modded ones
.I love the racing dial models, I bought this Blaken a while back....
