Indeed that one is really sharp.
It's just something I observed. I wonder if the capped specimens I saw were simply polished, or that many come out of the factory with the softer edges. When the cases are manufactured, are the edges machined after capping? or is the machining done on the base metal before adding the gold layer?
It has a lot to do with modern tastes.
SS is the most popular as some find any gold watch too bling.
But also having a gold cap watch seems like a bit like chicanery.
“I’d like a gold watch but can’t afford it”
So the real thing is more desirable.
I personally have no issue with gold cap watches but desirability drives market forces and they say that gold cap watches command lower prices than SS.
(gold filled and gold plated even less of course)
