This process lends a more durable finish to the watch. Another alternative is gold plating, wherein a thin layer of gold is melted onto another metal, giving the appearance of real gold. Many connoisseurs also prefer a PVD finish as it lasts longer and is harder wearing when compared to simple gold-colored watches.
