[QUOTE="afantiques, post: 115244, member: 25"]Yes. Fine gold is 100%, lower carats are lower percentages fine. The term is also misused, since watches marked 'fine silver' are never pure silver cases. The value of the watch is really the metal value. The case is quite thin so I'd not expect more than 10 grams of gold. I have three of these in 18 carat lying about somewhere and if the gold price went up a lot or I really needed the money I would just scrap them.[/QUOTE]
