I have a 2007 EVO and just wanted to know if the gold colored links in the bracelet are real gold. I bought it from my AD. Thanks.

They are, but only plated. They are completely gold only on full gold models. |

IIRC, isn't the gold more than gold plated? I think the term was gold-rolled, where a layer of gold is actually pressed onto the links. On my TT bracelet, I can see the layer from the side. Still not 100% gold, but it is better than just a plating. Jesse |

I stand corrected.

Yes, it is rolled-gold, which is apparently thick enough to engrave (if you are careful!) |

Indeed - 20 microns to be precise. |
