    Greetings

    I came across this one that is supposed to be solid gold. But by the photo of crown it seems weird...ive never seen solid "gold" peel off..


    what do you think?

    Solid gold doesn't peel off.

    It's hard to tell on my phone if that is a shadow or if the "gold" has peeled off. However, real gold shouldn't peel. Put on your running shoes.

    Looks more like dirt/gunk to me in that particular shot, probably need better pictures.

    1206 is a strange reference, never heard of/seen it before. Movement is Omega and somehow the case seems to fit the movement fine. Maybe a non Swiss case?

    its in brazil , in the past some solid gold cases would be made here and assembled to Omegas to save money on import taxes. therefore this case "COULD" be one made in Brazil... or not..
