Question about gold capped for half tone Tudor

Post by kempoman » Sun Jul 07, 2024 7:59 pm

Recently i read about gold capped Tudor crown & bezel which originally i thought they are solid gold. The price is quite a gap between all steel vs half tone gold.
The question is would you pay extra more for gold capped watch?? My thoughts lean towards a "faux" gold for any gold capped steel. What do you think?

I dislike gold watches and jewelry, so I’d definitely avoid gold plated stuff. YMMV

We must be looking at the same Tudor…

What model???

I can’t decide on the two-tone or the all steel.

All current sport half tone models are gold capped and I lost the appetite.

While they may offer a touch of luxury and a more premium appearance, they typically don't hold the same value as solid gold watches.

I’m surprised, the gold plated watches don’t hold value like solid real gold.

Is it also true that water is often wet and sunshine is warm?
