Hello,

I got this movement and I've seen some of them are made of gold and some doesn't, is this one gold? How much is it worth?

Where did you read that some of them were made of gold? Apologies for being the bearer of bad news - but it isnt. It seems to have significant water damage, which removed the rose gold plating, revealing the base metal. Just a cal 751 in a not paticularly well shape. For value as-is, see ebay sold listings. I'd guess 50-100€.

Thanks for your reply, I was just looking at ebay and saw some are sold for what you mention but then I saw this one listed as 18k for ove 1k.

The movement plates/bridges are made of brass, and the plating has been removed...
