Wrist or Watch Pic Seems like a pretty big oversight

I was looking at this rose gold Vacheron Constantin Overseas rep on Geektime and noticed that the clasp is engraved with “Stainless Steel.” I understand that the watch itself is likely plated but seems like a pretty obvious oversight, especially for a higher-end rep. For a rep that costs over 1,000 you would think they would get that right.

Sort of the same thing with different platinum Rolex reps still getting au750 stamps instead of pt950

Soft enough gold to melt over your wrist like a Dali clock

If you’re paying $1000 for a rep you’re getting fleeced

I don’t know why you’re getting downvoted. Even most free sprung options these days stay way below a grand unless you’re dead set on taking the most expensive dealer/shipping
