Gold reps. Worth it?

Recommended Posts

Vivosh

Hello all!

 My first post here. 

I want to buy a daytona pickacu. Can someone here with a rep can tell me if it's really worth buying a gold rep? Does it fade?

Only purchase from the trusted dealers as your likely to get ripped off.

if you buy from a reputable factory and TD, you should be fine.

Careful though, gold plated is not meant to be worn daily and should be kept safely in a felted watch box when not in use. Also avoid wearing it with short sleeves.

also agree about the above « swiss clone » clown, steer clear.

What’s the issue with gold plated watches and short sleeves? I’m not disputing it, I’m asking because I’ve genuinely no idea and not heard that one before?

Speaking of personal experience 

under a long sleeve shirt cuff, the watch is protected mostly against random hits…not so with short sleeves where it is exposed

you don’t really notice how much your arms flail around during the day :)

and with a gold plate, a deep enough scratch  will expose the steel underneath …plus the gold plate can flake off if the hit is hard enough.

there are not many things as ugly as a gold plate with exposed steel

White gold plated I find to be safer.  The coloring is close enough that knocks here and there won’t show.  But if it’s a keeper added plating via a mod in your area could be very useful!
