<p>[QUOTE=&quot;afantiques, post: 321978, member: 25&quot;]I have a very similar Accutron that I wear all the time, and I&#039;d buy one in a gold case because mine is just gold plated. All the rest of the stuff, as far as I can see from the pictures, looks likely to have no precious metal. 10 K GF is Gold Filled, a thin layer of gold on base metal, as is RGP, rolled gold plate.</p><p>Rule of thumb, anything after a carat mark means it is not solid gold. Anything with visible stainless steel is not solid gold. The gold parts will be GF or plated.</p><p><br /></p><p>Oh, just looked the Accutron more closely and I see it is quartz. The collectable Accutron watches are the electro-mechanical &#039;tuning fork&#039; type. The later quartz models are just usable, not collectable. </p><p>There may be something there of more than fleamarket table quality but my eyes are not good enough to pick it out.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
