This method was popular in the mid-20th century, offering the appearance of solid gold at a more accessible price. The gold layer is thick enough to be polished and resists wear far better than thin gold plating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-renderer-start-pos=\"982\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-renderer-start-pos=\"1440\"\u003eThis watch is in incredible condition— Even the original case back sticker is still intact!
