The most expensive hmt Models I brought back in December 2003: Kedar De Luxe priced at USD 42. Automatic Day-Date gold plated. No information right now about the assumed electro-goldplating of 3 micron.
In ca. 2001 Titan had patented a new gold-plating that would allow a very thin and very hard layer of gold. Also this new gold-plating technology would increase the life of the gold layer significantly.
