How Do Stainless Steel and Gold Compare in Watch Casting?

[Archer]

Anyone here has experience with stainless steel and gold watch casting? Which one do you prefer?

[Rogersabc]

I've worked with both. It really depends on what you're looking for. Gold gives a timeless, classic appeal, while stainless steel tends to have a more modern, sleek look.

Stainless steel is also a lot more durable and resistant to scratches. In my opinion, stainless steel watches are better for daily wear, whereas gold watches are more for special occasions.

Thanks, guys! Do they differ much in terms of casting process?

In my experience, stainless steel is a bit more complex to work with. Due to its high melting point, it requires additional equipment and precautions.

Yes, plus gold is more malleable, so it's easier to shape and design without breaking.
