Not replated, probably lightly polished?
In Response To: Gold plated polished or not? ()

Peter and friends,

Well...interesting question...difficult to be 100% certain but I will share my thought ;-)

I do not think it's been replated with gold. I do think it received some polishing...firtsly due to wearing it normally, obviously as gold is quite soft and shows wear around the edges quite easily. I do have the impression that the case was lightly polished during a previous service in its life before...not very heavy though.

Best regards from Belgium,
abel.
