Second actually....I bought this Lupah..for the strapgoofy

ooooooooooooooh! gold plated Lupah!!!!toon1.gif

coyote2.gif that would be high grade 316L SS not plated, and if you notice it has the top grade G-10 used in many other top watches....such as reNOtoThumbsup3.gif:D


...and, as I understand it...there are a full 5 microns of plating...not your everyday 20 that anyone else would use!!!  Let's see, 5 microns...hey that's a full 0.0001968503937007874 inches!!!! perfect.gif

Just for an interesting comparison, the old "gold-filled" that used to be the standard for watches that were not solid gold was 1/20 (0.05) inch or 1270 microns.
