Hi Guys,

For the price we pay for the watches, on would assume that any gold portion on the watch, is solid 18K gold. I can understand that regarding the bezel, crown, dial and midlinks.

But how about the clasp? I have a 116233 Z serial and have trouble convincing myself that the yellow gold portion of the clasp, is solid gold. It just doesn't seem correct to me the way the clasp is constructed. The clasp seems to be completely stainless steel with the center portion heavily gold plated. Is this the case - or is it solid gold?

Someone please clarify - thanks!
