tribefan 6,768 Posted January 21, 2021 One is gold plated and the other is gold wrapped. You should really do your own research on the difference between the two. Supposedly, gold wrapped is 2-3x thicker and all surfaces will be covered. Plating will definitely wear over time, assuming it's getting regular use. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Actually sweetcheeks you missed the major difference.... look at the edges of the gold links on the cheaper one, they are silver. In fact the top of the link doesn’t even fully cover the silver at the edge if you look at the macro. whether it’s wrapped in the sense as Tribe mentions which is a thicker coating from a process that is different to plating or it’s a lost in translation plating that wraps round the link, is for others to debate Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NCRich 13,798 Posted January 21, 2021 I can't begin to tell you how little difference you would ever notice between the two. It borders on the ridiculous. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GingerApple 7,304 Posted January 21, 2021 Were they not both two tone monstrosities (with puta mierda jubilee straps to boot), I'd say get the VSF; a much better rep, even if only plated. But as they are massively fugly, two tone, vom inducing, old man horror shows, don't get either. Unless you are in fact an old man. In which case, just wear white socks and sandals and the same look will be achieved, but at a fraction of the cost. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BADBILLY 115 Posted January 22, 2021 IMHO , VSF is certainly a better rep . on many points . Most folks would agree to stick with SS in the rep world , ( yes yes , I know...he just said "what?" ) the plated ones come in just a bit shy / off a bit . Don't get me wrong I love the TT and solid ones a lot and certainly have a few in my collection , but it's in our suggestions to stick with SS models for many reasons . The TT jubilee is by far one of their better lookers , I have 7 or 8 of em....lol Might I offer a tiny suggestion? if so then read next line . If you're new to the rep world , Our M2M section periodically has real bargains , that might help you to get a feel of what you like about some of the factories VSF/GMF and models before you lay down some serious bread man . I made the newbie mistake of buying a GMF TT Rolex Sub right out the gate it was like $478USD and after a few weeks of reading all the posts for the new member section and a lot of the chatter in the posts it became apparent that I could have made a better choice . In the end I got a $125 version that I liked way better from a different TD . Still wear my Regmariner today . 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They invoke the most vivid images as I read them. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
