Thanks everyone! Always fun when a 2 year old thread flares up again out of thin air! Still have the watch. And still loving it!

Yes, 18k solid rose gold on the De Luxe. Reference is 10357-3. Thanks, and happy hunting!

I was referring to the dial...I am aware that a gold coloured dial is usually 18k when signed as De Luxe however what about a black dial with a gold chapter ring which is also signed as De Luxe? Would this also be 18k which is painted black? Doesn’t sound rational to me however then what would be the difference between a De Luxe and a non-De Luxe?

Cheers.

The de luxe refers to the 18k gold case (rose gold, in my example). Reference number of 10357-3 reflects this (the first digit of 1 indicates solid 18k) Many gold dial polerouters are gold capped or gold plated(first digit will be 2 or 4, in the earlier years, as I recall) .

Hi it’s me again. I have been looking around for the correct crown on eBay, Chrono24. There seems to be quite a few available which matches the UG logo on the dial however I can’t tell which is the correct one in terms of measurement. Any advice??

It’s also hard to find one in rose gold. Would those available usually be gold plated, or solid gold?
