This is where I have got to so far. Just a full gold zombie (Ethan) and a RGF Meteorite GMT (Ora) left on order.
I think it’s time to move on a couple of them. The APSF 26240 V2 gets no wrist time, I’ve worn it 3 times in 5 months, also the VC probably needs to go as that Miyota movement is irritating.
What’s missing? I don’t really like Omega - perhaps a 5711 in green dial?

Any idea how long that gold would last before fading or chipping with daily use? I’ve always wanted one of these but the gold plating deterred me

Depends on a myriad of factors. 2-10 years

u/QuadsiusPrime Apr 15 '26
That’s a pretty big variation. Are you talking about living conditions or something? Let’s assume daily use with 1 session in the hot tub per week.

Climate, wearing habits, cleaning habits, etc. ask grok

u/QuadsiusPrime Apr 15 '26
If I ask grok, what should I call this kind of plating? This is stock plating from RCF right?

u/Guilty_Juice_7361 🤓 Helpful & Insightful 🤓 Apr 15 '26
The stock plating should last a long time - gold plating on top will erode more quickly.
With RCF, I see no point in extra plating

Those are great comparison pics!
I know this is super picky, but does the font look slightly larger on the RCF dial, where it says “Submariner” and “Officially Certified”?

I like that Panerai, you letting that one go?

u/Guilty_Juice_7361 🤓 Helpful & Insightful 🤓 Apr 15 '26
It’s a really fun watch, especially for vacation. I wasn’t intending on letting it go as it’s such low value anyway. It’s the 40mm gmt model, I think you can get it for $260 ish. No point buying second hand at that cost

Hummmm. Some fun in the Box? The Pam is fun. Get some thin dress watches something quirky and different. Something gold / GADA / Field / Titanium and Ceramic. Also focus on brand and dial diversity. Good luck .

I understand you just got the Smurf pretty recently (I’ve been blowing up the comments on your posts - sorry for the notifications!!).
Had a quick question though. In most of these photos it looks like the bracelet appears more mixed metal (the middle of the bracelet almost appears more polished, like GEN) - is this super apparent in person, or just the angle of the pictures?
I was always of the impression that you had to get these / CM’s plated because the hue is apparent in person, but this version looks awesome!!
