sonypc100 0 Posted July 28, 2010 Hi Happily wearing a GMT IIc rep which looks great in SS as its a SS watch! However if I want a white gold or platinum day date, I suppose my only real option is one in stainless steel??? Are there any options like a white gold plating? Thanks Rich Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Member X 91 Posted July 28, 2010 White Gold plating doesn't exist in rep world, as I understand it? Someone with more knowledge will confirm soon SS still looks great - it's the weight that is the main giveaway, and I'm sure you wouldn't be handing over your $20k DD to any stranger who's trying to call you out...

jojo8989 0 Posted July 28, 2010 yup, white gold is way too expensive to use in reps and apparently that rhodium stuff is hard to come by Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There's no such thing as white gold plating. White gold is rhodium plated regular gold. Rhodium plating steel would be pointless as it wouldn't look any different from regular steel - on gold it takes on an extra sheen due to the underlying colour of the gold (my wedding ring is white gold so I have a good point of comparison ). Most of the models that would be white gold in the gen are stainless steel in the rep - the only exception are a very small number of genuine white gold reps, but they're very expensive ($1500 and more). If you're worried about the SS vs white gold thing, go for a datejust - unlike the day/date the gen is available in steel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ska 11 Posted July 28, 2010 +1 Greg Take a look at the datejust rep. Its very good indeed. Here's a link to one I reviewed recently: http://www.replica-watches-guide.com/forum...?showtopic=6777 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sonypc100 0 Posted July 28, 2010 Thanks everyone if, and its a big IF! I was interested is a $1500 white gold rep day date II could anyone point me in the right direction? cheers rich Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AllergyDoc 40 Posted July 28, 2010 Josh has the biggest selection: http://www.1-pc8838.com/rolex-c-55.html His prices are a little higher, but since you won't be getting ripped off for a $1,500 "white gold" rep that would just be SS, you can afford it! You can also send the link to Mary of Watchinternational and ask her if she can source a watch. She'll be a little cheaper. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SubFrog 0 Posted July 29, 2010 My first DD rep was purchased about 7 years ago. It was SS and it was heavy...so, there was no problem with the weight. Everyone that saw it thought it was platinum. Beautiful. That watch was stolen by TSA, my favorite dealer was no longer around, so I purchased the same one from another dealer. Cheap...light weight...don't like it. I don't really know the difference except for the newer style oyster bracelet...but, that's the only thing I could figure made it lighter in weight. However, it looked great. Both of them. So, I wouldn't worry about the need for white gold visually. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
